GAME RECAP: Knicks 125, Rockets 123

Steve Kerr is hopeful that his 33rd starting lineup for the season will be the one he is comfortable sticking with for the balance of the Golden State Warriors’ season. Kerr started Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody and Draymond Green.

“I imagine we will stay with this lineup,” Kerr said. “I hope so. Because we’ve had a million different starting lineups this year. It’d be nice to stick with this for the rest of the season.”

The lineup is small, but Kerr believes they make up for it other ways.

“I think it’s the best two-way starting group we can put on the floor,” Kerr said. “You get Moses’ shooting, you get BP’s playmaking to go with Steph and Jimmy. Then Draymond and Jimmy at the five and four defensively behind the play. We lack size, but we have a lot of brainpower back there.”

“I like it,” Butler said. “I do. You’ve just got some feisty individuals out there that’s fighting, scrapping on both sides of the ball, sharing the ball, scoring, getting stops. Small or not, we’re getting it done.”
