Warriors leaning on familiar blueprint: Big 3rd quarters

Beneath Steve Kerr’s joyful disposition is a competitiveness perhaps rivaled only on the Warriors by forward Draymond Green. Watching from the bench as his team piles up turnovers and struggles to put away inferior opponents, Golden State’s head coach tries hard not to unleash on his players. Kerr recognizes that, if he greeted every underwhelming first half with a fire-and-brimstone speech at intermission, the Warriors would begin to tune him out. Instead, he tends to opt for a less dramatic approach: review a couple of glaring mistakes on video, open the floor to players for a brief discussion and send them back out to make necessary corrections.
