Kerr was delighted with Curry's display and praised the two-time MVP's efforts at both ends of the court at the Chase Center on Sunday night.
"Steph was breath-taking in that quarter (the third)," said Kerr after the game, as reported by France 24.
"Not just the shot-making, but the defensive effort. He just doesn't get enough credit for his level of conditioning, physicality and defense.
"People go at him to try to wear him down because they know how important he is to us offensively."
