SALT LAKE CITY - Warriors coach Steve Kerr on Sunday, while discussing the similarities between his offense and his former assistant Alvin Gentry's with the Pelicans, cited the influence of Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni. He also pointed out the significant change in D'Antoni's offense, a revision D'Antoni did not dispute.
"I don't even think it's anything we claim that we created," Kerr said before the Warriors' Game 4 win in New Orleans. "I think the game has been evolving over the last 15 years or so. The guy who deserves the most credit for changing the way the league is played is Mike D'Antoni.
