NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Pelicans have one wish of referees officiating their Western Conference semifinal series against the Warriors.
Please, the Pelicans subtly urge, may we have a few more free throws -- and the Warriors a few less?
Warriors coach Steve Kerr, for one, believes that wish will be granted, pronto, as in Game 3 on Friday.
“We’re going to get some fouls called on us early, for sure,” Kerr said Thursday evening after practice at Smoothie King Center. “We’ve got to be ready for that. You’ve got to just play through anything like that, play with poise.
