Lindy Waters III hit the game-winning 3 as time expired and got mobbed by his new teammates on the court.
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talks to Golden State Warriors’ Moses Moody during their game against the Utah Jazz in the second quarter at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, April 7, 2024. After a week of training camp practices full of new set plays and terminology, the Warriors put their progress to the test.
Then, after two failed inbounds plays, Lindy Waters III canned the walk-off 3 as time expired, lifting the Warriors to a 91-90 win in the Stan Sheriff Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Waters hit five 3s, scored a game-high 15 points and was first greeted by a chest-bump from Steph Curry after his game-winner.
“We’ve got to see,” Kerr told reporters pregame in Honolulu. “Because last year, we didn’t feel comfortable going that route. We would love to play Draymond at the four, Trayce gives us a shot-blocker next to him. We want to play JK. And if he’s ready for the 3, and it works with those guys, then we’ll see. Then we’ll adapt. Now’s the time to try these things and see which combinations work and which ones don’t.
Moody got to the line to open the second half then hit a pull-up jumper, getting his defender to stumble on a drive in isolation. That gave him 12 points in as many minutes. He hunted his 3-point shot and got it off quickly — a priority for him this offseason — and forced a steal that led to a runout.
