Steve Kerr Praises Steph Curry, Warriors for 'Championship Stuff' in Win vs. Bucks

As recently as Tuesday, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was openly discussing a "disconnect" in the locker room that's led to the team's disappointing play.

After a torrid comeback and dominant overtime performance in Saturday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, Kerr seemed much happier with his team.

"Championship stuff," Kerr told reporters. "That is the team that won four titles. They know how to do it. They got it done tonight against probably the best team in the league."

The Warriors came back from eight points down in the final minute and 51 seconds of regulation, with Stephen Curry scoring their final 11 points and then blocking a Jrue Holiday layup with 2.2 seconds remaining to send the game to overtime.

Curry added another nine points in overtime to finish with a game-high 36 points. It's worth noting the Bucks were playing without star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has missed the last three games, but it's nevertheless the type of win that could serve as a jolt for Golden State.

"Steph was incredible, and he did it against one of the great defenders in Jrue Holiday," Kerr said. "It's amazing watching those two guys battle. Steph is fearless. It doesn't matter if there is a slow start or if he hasn't had much going, he can ignite at any time."

The Warriors entered Saturday night having lost three straight games, including a 21-point blowout Thursday against a Memphis Grizzlies team playing without Ja Morant. Golden State is just 7-26 on the road this season and 35-33 overall on the season, good for sixth place in the West.

The Warriors will have chances to test their momentum in the next two games, as they face off against the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers are just 0.5 games ahead of Golden State for the No. 5 seed in the West.
