Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr gave a hilariously deadpan response to a question about the first quarter.
The Golden State Warriors came into Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals looking to sweep the Houston Rockets.
James Harden, Dwight Howard and company had a different idea, scoring 45 points in the first quarter to take a 23 point lead.
So in between quarters during the coaches interview, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was asked about the first quarter and how it went. He had a hilarious Gregg Popovich like answer.
Steve Kerr: "I thought it (first quarter) went well. *rolls eyes*" https://t.co/36K9hpzsMD

I mean, it was a lot of points and an unprecedented situation. How else was Kerr supposed to handle it?
Here is a look at some records the Rockets matched or set.
What a 1st quarter for Rockets!!!

Their 45 points are the most any team has scored in a quarter vs Warriors this season.
Rockets: 45 points matches most points by any team in 1st quarter of playoff game in shot-clock era! (1985 Lakers- 45 vs Suns)
