The Golden State Warriors, despite their strong start to the NBA season, suffered a tough loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, largely due to self-inflicted mistakes. Head coach Steve Kerr addressed the issue candidly after the game.

One glaring factor in the defeat was the Warriors’ poor performance at the free-throw line, where they converted just 47.4% of their attempts. While the Warriors remain one of the league’s most formidable teams, improving their free-throw shooting will be crucial to staying competitive in their pursuit of the championship.

Steve Kerr expressed his disappointment in his team’s execution. Our free throws obviously hurt us, but as a coach, you don’t really focus on that. You focus on the turnovers in the first half… I thought we lost the game in the first half by wasting a lot of possessions,” Kerr said, via Anthony Slater.

The coach also highlighted the team’s ongoing struggles from the charity stripe: “We entered the game dead-last in free throws. We also entered the game 10-2, so they haven’t hurt us until tonight. Our guys have to get in the gym, find their rhythm, and find their confidence from the line for sure.”
