Head coach Steve Kerr has been trying to keep Steph Curry's minutes down this season, but they needed him for the win.

Right now, they have young and developing players who could become stars and two aging veterans hoping to continue challenging during the twilight of their careers.

"We're not giving in. But you have to be realistic organizationally about where you are," Kerr told The Athletic on Monday.
