Warriors coach Steve Kerr was furious at the officials following his team's loss at Denver on Tuesday night, saying they overlooked Nuggets guard Christian Braun signaling for a timeout Denver didn't have with 1.9 seconds left in a four-point game.

He joined ESPNNewYork.com after working at the New York Daily News for almost 12 years and is a graduate of Michigan State University.Kerr argued that Denver should have been assessed a technical foul, which would have given the Warriors a free throw and possession of the ball. Instead, crew chief Tyler Ford called for a jump ball with 1.
"They all told me they didn't see it. ... It's up to the referees to see . That's why we have three of them. Somebody's got to see it. So yeah, that made me mad."Ford told a pool reporter after the game that the Nuggets were not assessed a technical foul because none of the officials saw Braun clearly signal for a timeout.
Braun said he knew his team didn't have a timeout remaining because Denver coach Michael Malone and his staff talked about it. It was a frustrating ending for the Warriors, who lost their fifth consecutive game by blowing a six-point lead in the final 2:32. Denver trailed Golden State by 11 with 6:13 left but finished the game on a 21-6 run.Warriors coach Steve Kerr did not hold back in his postgame news conference:"Braun called a timeout. He dove on the floor, he rolled over. Everybody saw it except for the three guys we hire to do the games, and that makes me angry.
