They have not reached triple-digit points yet in a single game, and when Jimmy Butler has had to leave the floor for rest, their offensive rating falls to an impossibly low 79.3. Steve Kerr acknowledged all of this after Game 3.

Warriors beat reporter Ohm Youngmisuk reported that Kerr thought Game 3 was "the best officiated game of late." Notably, it was Foster's second game back in charge after a long injury absence, and his first time officiating Golden State in the 2025 playoffs.

Steve Kerr remains confident in the Steph Curry-less "formula" despite two straight Warriors losses vs. the Timberwolves without the sharpshooter.
