SHENZHEN – The shifting time zones told the Warriors’ biological clocks that day is night and night is day. A passport travel at no fault of the Warriors or coach Steve Kerr prompted him to arrive a day later in a different city.
In other words, the Warriors spent the beginning of their week-long trip to China adjusting to a new place instead of exploring.
An East-Coast based processing center did not deliver Kerr’s passport in time for him to fly on the Warriors’ chartered plane that left on Sunday afternoon and landed on Monday evening nearly 14 hours and 20 minutes later.
