“We gotta find somewhere in the middle”: Stephen Curry opens up about Steve Kerr’s decision to bench him in defeat to Minnesota Timberwolves

The Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has opened up after being benched at the start of the fourth quarter in the match against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The 36-year-old started the fourth quarter of an all-important clash but came back to the court with less than seven minutes remaining.

His return did help the side in waving off the eight-point deficit but the Timberwolves managed to overcome the hurdle and registered an important win with the score of 114-110 at the Target Center in Minneapolis on Saturday.

Talking after the match, Curry opened up about the decision made by head coach Steve Kerr which, by the end of the match, felt like it did not help the side as they ended up on the wrong side of the result.

“Obviously, comparing it to last game and the normal rotation, I want to play as many minutes as I’m fresh and able to,” said Curry. “So, a little bit, knowing that they were going on a run.

“The lead was kind of whittling away. So, [I] played the whole fourth quarter against Indiana, [but it] didn’t work out. This didn’t work out [either]. So, we gotta find somewhere in the middle.”

Curry was by far the best player for the losing team on the night as he registered 31 points to go with four rebounds and three assists.
