""I'm up here because I'm saving Steve some money,""
""That's the only reason I'm here.""
""Coach did the right thing, and we responded the right way, and gave ourselves a chance to win. But on the road, that's a tough, tough moment,""
""Watching coach go crazy, I was appreciative of that because two crazy calls in a row that you feel like can dictate the momentum of the game.""
Officials left what appeared to be a clear John Collins goaltending on Gary Payton II's layup as a no-call late in the game, triggering repercussions. Steve Kerr was ejected with 7:57 remaining after vehemently protesting two consecutive calls and receiving two technical fouls while assistants restrained him. Assistant coach Terry Stotts addressed the media afterward, quipping that he was saving Kerr money. Stephen Curry said Kerr's reaction was appropriate and that the team responded, though the sequence was a difficult road moment. Referee Brian Forte later said the layup should have been ruled goaltending and defended the ejection.
