Steph Curry Gives Nod to Kings’ Mike Brown After Warriors’ Foul Trouble
The Sacramento Kings head coach, Mike Brown, continues to get some notoriety around the NBA after his viral ejection and post-game presser following their OT loss vs. the Milwaukee Bucks.
On Monday night, the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Memphis Grizzlies in what was eventually a 107-116 loss, dropping them to an 18-22 record on the season. The Warriors suffered from several issues on the night that led to the loss but had a notable issue when it came to fouling and allowing free shots at the charity stripe.
As a unit, the Warriors allowed 40 total free throws from the Grizzlies, a stark difference from their own 10. When an opposing team gets that many more opportunities at the line, it’s going to be hard to come out with a win for any team.
After the Warriors loss, Steph Curry spoke at the podium about the team allowing a staggering amount of free throws on the night, via Anthony Slater of The Athletic:
"We gave up 40 free throws. I don’t want to be Mike Brown up here going through them all to see how legit they are, but in the middle of a game, you have to be able to control that end of the floor to give yourself a chance. Especially on the road, I don’t care who you’re playing."
After Coach Brown’s heated exchange with a referee on Sunday night, he spent a lengthy time at the podium, laptop by his side, hilariously reviewing the controversial calls with the press as if it were a film session with the team. It seems as if Curry shares a similar sentiment to some of the fouls in their respective game, but not enough to bust out any official reviews or analysis of his own, as a result.
The Warriors will have the opportunity to bounce back from their previous two losses on Wednesday as they take on a red-hot Utah Jazz team.
