Even when his squad was one loss away from elimination, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had full confidence the team would repeat as NBA champions.
According to The Athletic's Ethan Strauss, Kerr successfully predicted not only how the Western Conference Finals would end but also the outcome of the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Strauss reported Kerr told the Warriors players and coaching staff Golden State would get the two wins necessary to clinch a conference title and then sweep through the Finals.
