LOS ANGELES (AP) — Steve Kerr has been part of plenty of exciting finishes between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers.
On Saturday night, the teams played a game that simply wouldn't finish.
The final 2 minutes, 7 seconds of the Warriors' 128-121 victory over the Lakers took about 22 minutes to play, bogged down due to a pair of lengthy replay reviews — one that overturned an apparent 3-pointer by LeBron James — and then a malfunctioning shot clock.
“It seems like a few times a year you get clock issues. That’s as extreme as I’ve been a part of, where even the backup unit doesn't work," Kerr said. “The last two minutes, everyone is looking at each other about what to do.”
