HOUSTON — Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr has long praised Andre Iguodala as being someone who calms down the team. But with him sidelined the last three games and questionable for Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against Houston on Monday, another veteran’s presence becomes increasingly important on the court and in the locker room.
Shaun Livingston is dependable and solid — and Kerr trusts him to both settle down and fire up the team, depending on what’s needed.
