Despite Stephen Curry's 17 points, the team fell short, and Kerr's future has become a topic of speculation due to his current contract expiring. Both Curry and Draymond Green have voiced their desire for Kerr to stay, but the coach remains undecided. With a 604-353 record over 12 seasons, Kerr has led the Warriors to multiple NBA Finals appearances and an Olympic gold medal. He will meet with the team's owner and general manager to discuss his future and the team's plans for the upcoming offseason.
