Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr refused to talk about basketball before his team’s playoff game against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night

Kerr looked into the camera before addressing the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell. “I ask you, Mitch McConnell, I ask all of you senators who refuse to do anything about the violence and school shootings and supermarket shootings. I ask you: Are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers? Because that’s what it looks like. It’s what we do every week.

Before he left the press conference, Kerr slammed his fists against the table and delivered a final message. “It’s pathetic. I’ve had enough,” he said.“We will truly play with heavy hearts tonight for the community, for the school of Robb Elementary School,” Kidd said. “As coaches, as fathers, we have kids, people in this room have kids, elementary school; you can just think about what could take place with any of your family or friends at a school.

“The game is not going to be canceled. But we have to find a way to be pro and find a way to win and move forward. But the news of what is happening, not just here in Texas but throughout our country, is sad.” The Mavericks beat the Warriors 119-109, but still trail 3-1 in the best-of-seven series. The winner will advance to the NBA finals, where they will play the Miami Heat or Boston Celtics.
