HOUSTON – Over nine years have passed since they last worked together. Since then, Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni raved endlessly about each other’s character, their coaching, how they empower players and how they have overseen high-powered offenses that very few teams can stop.
Said Kerr: “Mike is the guy who revolutionized the game.”
Said D’Antoni: “Steve is one of the best coaches ever.”
The Warriors (37-9) will face the Houston Rockets (31-12) on Saturday, a matchup that could extend the Warriors’ 14-game road winning streak, secure home-court advantage in a possible postseason meeting and spark Kerr and D’Antoni to offer more compliments about one another.
