Video Shows Hilarious Exchange Between Mike Brown, Steve Kerr
After losing the first two games of their first-round NBA playoff series against the Sacramento Kings, the Golden State Warriors evened things up on Sunday with a thrilling 126-125 victory.
One of the most interesting aspects of this series is the fact that it pits Kings head coach Mike Brown against his former boss, Warriors head man Steve Kerr.
Prior to this season, Brown was an assistant for six seasons under Kerr in Golden State.
Cameras caught a brief exchange between the two men at one point on Sunday.

After an up-and-down first half, the Warriors put together a very strong third quarter and went up by 10 points heading into the final frame, only to let Sacramento back into the contest.
They made some mistakes down the stretch, which included an illegal time-out by Stephen Curry with less than a minute remaining, but they were able to hold off the energetic Kings in the end.
Curry led the way with 32 points, while Klay Thompson had his best game so far in this series with 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting and 4-of-9 from 3-point range.
After being suspended for Game 3, Draymond Green came off the bench to contribute 12 points, 10 rebounds, seven rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot for the victors.
This is now a best-of-three series, and the Kings still hold the home-court advantage, as Game 5 and Game 7 (if necessary) will be on their home court.
For the Warriors to take the series and advance, they will have to do something they have had trouble doing all season — win at least one game on the road.
