The Golden State Warriors are struggling and Steve Kerr is searching for answers. 

The Warriors have played Steph Curry heavy minutes for numerous fourth quarters, and the outcome seems to be the same every time - a loss. Steve Kerr revealed that the Warriors will be going back to Steph Curry's old rotation pattern with only one rest per half. Here is the detailed full quote by Kerr:

"We started it last night, and it's not necessarily going to be exactly 12-6. It's going to be one rest, instead of two. It'll probably bridge the first and second quarter into the third and fourth. It kind of depends on how he's going in the first and third quarters. Now that we have Klay back, and now that we are in a situation where we're heading for the stretch run, it feels important to get Steph into that rotation pattern. I also think it's easier for us to keep his minutes around 36. What's happened of late is we've been in desperation mode and played him the entire fourth quarter several times because when his normal rest time would come, we'd be down six and struggling to score and we had to keep him in. I think this is a good time to make that change."

The Golden State Warriors will be facing the Denver Nuggets next, and there isn't a team more desperate for a win than the Warriors right now. After losing 8 of the last 10 games, something has to give.
