Steve Kerr, the coach of the Golden State Warriors, faced criticism for benching Moses Moody, who had scored 11 of the team's 12 fourth-quarter points, during a crucial stage in a game against the Kings. Kerr explained that he wanted to get Andrew Wiggins on the floor for defense and opted for veteran options over Moody. Kerr later regretted the decision, acknowledging it as a terrible one. The decision was also questioned by reporters and analysts. However, Kerr announced that Moody would start in the next game, with Wiggins out.

Steve Kerr called tonight Jonathan Kuminga’s best game of the season: “He didn’t foul. Not one foul. And he’s out there guarding Kawhi and Paul George. Used his athleticism. Had five rebounds in the first half.” https://t.co/g1ki8snNyq

From @TheAthletic: "Moses Moody, by the Warriors’ own belief system, should’ve closed that game against the Kings," our columnist writes. "But 29 seconds after his third 3-pointer, Moody was back on the bench." The basketball gods then punished them. https://t.co/zLEEWdLBmz

Actual Warriors reporters out loud questioning Steve Kerr about the mishandling of Moses Moody is giving me life. He's been an awful coach all season (and was in FIBA). Players have been a joke but so has he. Team wide debacle through 18 games.
