Warriors players not named Steph Curry or Klay Thompson have only made a total of 17 3-pointers through four games in the NBA Finals this year. If only head coach Steve Kerr could suit up.
Kerr nailed an underhanded half-court heave during the Warriors' shootaround Monday morning before Game 5 against the Raptors at Scotiabank Arena.

"He looked good, and we'll see where it goes," Kerr told reporters.
