"We got what we deserved," - Steve Kerr
The Oklahoma bounced back. Out rebounded the Warriors 52/38. Kanter leads the game in rebounding with 12 rebounds followed by Ibaka Westbrook and Durant with 8 each. (None of GSW players had double digits in rebounds).
Westbrook said that they also need to have more hustle plays.
"That's one thing we slipped up on in Game 2, and I think tonight, we did a good job of getting loose balls and finding ways to get 50/50 basketballs and give ourselves extra possessions," - Westbrook
The Warriors have been in this situation before. in 2015 playoffs with Memphis and in Finals with the Cavaliers....and won the title.
The Warriors will be coming out for game 4 on Tuesday in Oklahoma and remains confident.
"Both times, we got blown out in Game 3, and we responded well, so we have that memory," "I'm confident we're going to come out and play a really good game in Game 4, and we'll see what happens." - Steve Ker
