Hopefully, we can keep this going – Steve Kerr after win against Oklahoma City Thunder

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wants his team to continue the winning impetus after winning their second match on the bounce against Oklahoma City Thunder by 141-114 on Monday night.

With Steph Curry sidelined due to an injury, Klay Thompson brought his best for the Dubs. Thompson scored 42 points, including 12 three-pointers as he took the offense into his hands.

Thompson was at his absolute best for Steve Kerr’s team as the Dubs registered a thumping win. Furthermore, Jordan Poole contributed 21 points and a career-best 12 assists to support Thompson.

“It was a beautiful game to watch him play,” Draymond Green said of Thompson as quoted by AP.

“… We needed it. It’s been a while since we had a blowout win. It’s good to get this one, especially first game with Steph out. It was good to start off on this foot and try to create some momentum.”

Kerr said that this is a confidence boost performance from his team without the services of Curry and hopefully they can keep up the good show.

“This is a confidence booster for sure to play without him, but to see the performance of the team, amazing individual performances we got,” coach Steve Kerr said. “It was a feel-good game for a lot of people and that just really fuels everybody. Hopefully, we can keep that going.”

“That was fun, that was probably the most fun I’ve had watching our team all year,” Kerr said.

On the other hand, the gaffer also showered praise on Jordan Poole, who came up with a fine performance.

“I thought Jordan was magnificent, one of the best games I’ve ever seen him play. He just was so under control,” Kerr said.

Golden State Warriors will next face Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.
