The Warriors’ late-season slide continued with another defeat, their sixth loss in the past seven games, and head coach Steve Kerr did not mince words about where it leaves his team.
“We’re going to be in the play-in. We know that,” Kerr said, as Golden State moves toward the end of the regular season.
The comment underscored the urgency surrounding the Warriors’ closing stretch. After a difficult run of results, Kerr framed the situation as a matter of accepting the team’s position and moving forward with clarity as the schedule nears its conclusion.
Acknowledging the moment
Kerr’s blunt assessment came in the wake of the latest loss, reflecting the team’s recent form and the narrowing margin for error late in the season. With the Warriors struggling to string together wins, the play-in picture has become the immediate focus.
Golden State now turns its attention to finishing the regular season with a stronger footing, with Kerr’s message emphasizing the reality of the situation rather than any attempt to dress it up.
