‘Steph just carried us home’: Steve Kerr on the Warriors’ title run, bright future and more

The 2021-22 Warriors rose to their highest level of the season in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against Boston. “I think Steph’s Game 4 against Boston was the key moment,” Kerr said of Curry’s epic 43-point performance at TD Garden. I think getting the summer underneath him and having a full training camp, I think Klay would be at a high level next year, and that’s really exciting.” • Kerr wouldn’t quite go all the way and commit to major playing time for James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody next season, but there’s no doubt that he’ll want to rest his veterans as much as possible next season, and it’s probably time to see what the three lottery picks can do. “When you think of those two guys and you think of the possibilities, Warriors fans should be really excited and not only for the next decade but even for next year, because we’re going to need both of their help big time.” • Kerr on assistant Kenny Atkinson’s change of mind to stay on the Warriors’ staff and not accept the head-coaching job with Charlotte: “For Kenny, I think it was just more a matter of realizing what was best for his family. “I do think that it’s monumental, even though it’s less than what most of us would like,” Kerr said of the Senate deal.
