Just like all of us, Steve Kerr is trying to figure out what the NBA meant by "hot stove contact."
A day after the league issued their Last Two Minute Report, the Warriors head coach was asked for a comment on a term no one had heard of until Saturday.
"I'm still trying to learn the definition of a 'hot-stove' call," Kerr joked to the media before the Warriors and Hornets tipped off on Sunday. "As soon as somebody tells me what that means, maybe I'll comment on it."
The NBA ruled on Saturday that Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie didn't foul Steph Curry on a 3-pointer late in overtime. According to the video replays, it appears Okogie slapped Curry's ankles as he released the shot.
The NBA wrote that Okogie "makes marginal 'hot-stove' contact with Curry's leg after the release of his jump shot attempt and does not affect his ability to land safely."
The ruling from the league came on the heels of some heated comments from the Warriors following their 131-130 overtime loss on Minnesota on Friday night.

Despite the criticism Kerr, Curry and Kevin Durant levied on the game officials, Kerr wasn't concerned about the vibe surround the team.

"The atmosphere in the locker room was more positive than anything," Kerr told the media. "Everybody was frustrated together, so sometimes that can be used in a positive manner."
If there is any lingering frustration, the Warriors can take it out on Kemba Walker and the Hornets on Sunday.
