Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr supported the WNBA's decision to schedule Game 6 of the WNBA Finals between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream on Thursday morning. Kerr stated that he would watch the game over breakfast, noting the league found the best solution under difficult scheduling circumstances rather than playing in front of a tiny crowd.
