Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton has a number of coaching mentors that he draws inspiration and gets advice from. One that he speaks to pretty regularly is Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.
Walton, of course, started his NBA coaching career as an assistant in Golden State under Kerr and took over as interim head coach when Kerr had to miss time due to back issues. The two remain good friends and after Wednesday’s game between the Warriors and Lakers, Kerr decided to take a shot at his protege.
At the postgame press conference Kerr responded to the very first question by claiming that the key to Warriors victory was that he completely out-coached Walton, via ESPN NBA:
