“Draymond set the tone last night at the team meeting. Basically, he owned up to losing his poise in Game 6, and I agreed with him. I thought the flagrant foul was a tone-setter, and he knew it and so he talked to the group and said, ‘I got to be poised and I have to be better, and we’re going to come in here tomorrow and get it done.’ And I think his emotional stability tonight, just his poise from the start, set a great tone,” Kerr said (Via ESPN).
Kerr elaborated that Green’s response involved an extended period of sulking. This hindered his performance and the team’s chemistry on the court for the remainder of the match.
