Golden State Warriors escaped with a difficult home win against the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies for a 3-1 lead in their Western Conference semifinal playoff series last night.

Head coach Steve Kerr was not present for the game, having tested positive for COVID-19. It was a double luck for assistant coach Mike Brown, who not only stepped up in his role during the absence of Kerr but was announced the head coach of the Sacramento Kings.

With the Warriors leading 3-1 in the series against the Grizzlies, three-time champion Stephen Curry had a hilarious response when asked to comment on Brown’s situation.

"You talk about historically bad shooting, he was named head coach twice 24-hours. I felt like we got traded to the Kings overnight. I don’t know how to explain all this. We are obviously happy for him and his next gig," superstar responded. 

Brown improved his playoff record as Warriors head coach to 12-0. Nevertheless, the Dubs had one of their worst shooting games historically.

The newly appointed Sacramento Kings head coach had an 11-0 run with the Dubs during the 2017 playoffs as Kerr recovered from a severe back problem, having undergone surgery.

Brown, now in his sixth season as Steve Kerr's lead assistant with the Golden State Warriors, will remain with the Warriors through the end of their playoff run before making the move to Sacramento.
