Steph Kerry already had money-time moves, big baskets and critical threes in the past, but only tonight (Friday-Saturday), at 33, did he mark his first career basket win. His typical half-distance basket after a one-on-one move gave Golden State a 103-105 win over Houston, setting him a milestone he was missing.
"Finally! It's time for me to have one basket of victory on the buzzer as well", Kerry celebrated with a roar at the end, saying "the feelings are great because it feels different. I already had important baskets with a second or two and a half left on the clock, I already had big shots "But when it's on the buzzer, it feels different. I'm glad now I can finally figure it out."
Kerry is suffering from a less than good period on offense, and along with him Golden State has also been on a declining trend in recent weeks.
Kerry's victory basket may indeed open a new page for him and the team, forgetting the frustration and nerves that were before.
The tension Kerry was in was evident in one moment in the second half, when the team went down to a timeout and the nervous Kerry was seen kicking the chair hard, filtering out a few curses.

"I had to let go of some emotions. I love this game, I love my teammates, and sometimes when you're not doing well, you have to reboot the engine in some creative way. I hope I did, and I hope I did not hurt anyone," Kerry explained at the moment. The emotional.
Steve Kerr also knows that Kerry's anger "has been building up in recent weeks. We've sniffed the field in previous games, and he was not at his best."
According to Kerr, the kick in the chair as well as the sniper victory basket illustrate Kerry's most underappreciated trait: competitiveness.

"He's one of the most competitive players to have played in the NBA, and people do not understand that. His most underrated trait is his passion, competitiveness, desire to be the best in everything he does. It motivates him," he explains.
