Steve Kerr's Daughter Elbowed In Head By Cavs Fan
By Ryan Mayer
The Cleveland Cavaliers came out highly aggressive in last night's Game 3 120-90 win over the Golden State Warriors pressuring the Warriors and holding them to just 16 points in the first quarter. Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said during a mid-game interview with Doris Burke that the difference in the team's performance came from their "physicality".
Apparently, it wasn't just the team that was more physical in last night's contest. Cleveland fans were hyped up as well for their first home game of the series and that excitement spilled over into an incident that left Steve Kerr's daughter Maddy in some pain.
During one of the traditional in-game t-shirt toss promotions a Cavaliers fan elbowed Ms. Kerr in the head in their attempt to go after the shirt. Needless to say, her mother, Margot Kerr was none too pleased saying on her Twitter account courtesy of Black Sports Online:
Thank you @cavs fan who elbowed @MaddyMKerr in the head for a t-shirt. We know it was on purpose. #classy

Maddy then weighed in saying that at the very least fans at Oracle would have apologized.
Kerr's family will surely be hoping for better treatment from the fans when the series picks up once again tomorrow night in Quicken Loans Arena for Game 4 at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific.
