After the Warriors finished off the Knicks, 110-99, Steve Kerr entered the locker room and immediately singled out Moody, according to Steph Curry. He told the team how important Moody’s individual defense on Brunson was to the night’s result. Kerr then told the media the same 15 minutes later, rerouting a generic question about the team’s overall performance to the individual.
“Moses did a great job of making it as difficult as possible without fouling,” Kerr said. “Forcing him into tough shots. That was the key.”
Moody said he learned of the assignment at the team’s morning meeting at their Manhattan hotel.
