As Game 7 approaches against the Houston Rockets, Warriors coach Steve Kerr has indicated that adjustments to the lineup may be necessary. He highlighted the potential roles of Kevon Looney and Jonathan Kuminga in countering the Rockets’ strategy.

Key Considerations for Game 7

Kerr recognized that Looney’s role will be pivotal, as he needs to aim for effective screens and contend with Steven Adams in the paint. Following a disappointing performance in Game 6, where the Warriors struggled, Kerr must decide if physicality or shooting will be the answer against Houston.

Kerr explained, “I trust Loon implicitly, based on being together for 10 years… So I would expect Loon to play more than he did last night.”

Additionally, Kerr shifted the focus on adjusting combinations against Houston’s hybrid zone. “The challenge in this series has been finding the right combinations based on trying to put together two-way lineups,” he stated.

The game promises to be an engaging contest with critical adjustments shaping the outcome.
