Kerr came back from his leave of absence on Friday during the game against the Indiana Pacers at Oracle Arena. Luke Walton resumed his role as Kerr’s lead assistant after having led the team to a record-setting start, though he was asked to draw up a play heading into the fourth quarter.
As per NBA.com stats, Golden State Warrior’s main man Stephen Curry finished the game with a triple-double figure with 39 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.

“So proud of him”. “You see that (injury) happen and you don’t know if you’re ever going to play the game again, or walk the same again”. The Pacers were outrebounded 50-44.
The Dubs beat the Indiana Pacers 122 – 110 and are now 40-4 on the season. The Warriors haven’t lost at Oracle since a 113-111 overtime defeat to Chicago last January 27….
