When Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr began his pre-game press conference before Tuesday night's tip with the Philadelphia 76ers, something was different. Held via video chat with remote reporters, Kerr typically sits in front of a digital background sporting the Warriors’ colors, logo and corporate sponsors.
But not Tuesday night.
Set against a plain, black background, two columns of names were shown behind Kerr. Flanking his left shoulder were the eight names of the slain victims in last week’s Atlanta spa shootings. To his right, the 10 names of the slain victims in Monday's Boulder, Colorado supermarket shooting.
