More on this storyline

Mark Medina: Warriors coach Steve Kerr on Klay Thompson, who has shot 11 of 38 and 5 of 22 from 3 so far vs Memphis: “Klay has been in a little bit of a rush. I think he’s trying too hard to get himself going and he just needs to be a little more patient.” -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / May 7, 2022

Mark Medina: Luke Walton on site here for Game 3 of Warriors-Grizzlies. Crazy how it’s been seven years since he was here on Steve Kerr’s staff -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / May 7, 2022

Damichael Cole: Steve Kerr on Steven Adams being back and preparing for him: “It’s been a topic of discussion in our coaches meetings. If they start him, we’ve planned for that.” He said it doesn’t change their starting lineup. Just changes who matches up against who. -via Twitter @DamichaelC / May 7, 2022
