Steve Kerr, Steve Clifford Had Priceless Reaction to Warriors-Hornets Scuffle During Handshake

A scuffle that broke out during the final moments of the Golden State Warriors' 97—84 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night provided an unintentionally amusing moment involving Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Hornets coach Steve Clifford. 

Kerr and Clifford met on the court for a postgame handshake mere moments after the Warriors attempted—and successfully scored—on a layup attempt at the rim with the seconds ticking down on the clock, due to a goaltending call on the Hornets’ Miles Bridges

As Kerr and Clifford exchanged pleasantries and shook hands, Warriors and Hornets players engaged in pushing and shoving after the final basket. 

Kerr and Clifford had a priceless—and relatable—reaction to the fight breaking out mid-conversation. 

Here's a closer look at Clifford, who clearly mouths an expletive, and Kerr, who looks as if he's watching the same bad movie all over again, reacting to the massive scrum. 

NBA fans had plenty of jokes about the moment.

Kudos to the camera crew for capturing this amusing reaction in real time.
