The Golden State Warriors suffered a major loss last night against the Indiana Pacers, which is not what the team would have wanted approaching the playoffs, and Steve Kerr certainly isn't happy about his team's performance.

The Warriors suffered a blowout defeat of 126-106 to the Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Thursday night. While Kevin Durant played well for the visitors, they just weren't able to contain Bojan Bogdanovic, who finished with 28 points, three rebounds, and two assists.

Golden State's head coach made his feelings known about his player's performance after the game, as he said to Chris Haynes of ESPN that his team's effort against Indiana was pathetic.

Kerr said: "Caring in general was the main problem.

"Just trying, cutting hard, driving, maybe boxing out once in a while. Just in general, it's hard to win an NBA game if you don't put forth an effort at all."

Durant, who finished with 27 points, disagreed with his coach's assessment of the game, as he said: "Nah, I thought we cared tonight. We cared. Over the last few games, we cared ...They came out with a better strategy, being more aggressive than us ... I think we care. I think everybody in this locker room cares about playing ball. I disagree with that, but I understand what he's doing."

Warriors backup point guard Shaun Livingston did agree with his coach, as he said: "He sat there the whole game and watched what was right in front of him. So, um, we've got to be better. We've got to be better.

"Tonight, we were off, but we can't be off as far as our effort, our intensity, because that's what we're playing for when we're in the playoffs. They were playing playoff basketball tonight; we weren't."

Kerr was not having any excuses, as he added: "Yeah, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. I know this game doesn't mean anything in the seeding, but the playoffs start next week. It was an embarrassing effort. A pathetic effort.

"... Well, maybe they are [bored]. Maybe the game doesn't matter. So, we'll try next week. Hopefully we will."

The Warriors will look to get back to winning ways when they host the New Orleans Pelicans later this week on Saturday at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, which will be their last home game of the regular season before the playoffs.
