Fans packed the house to see Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Jordan Poole, and the Warriors cast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You knew it was disproportionately skewed in the Warriors direction every time they made a big play. Especially as they mounted a 4<sup>th<\/sup> quarter comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked his thought about the Warriors having so much support on the road. He responded by praising Steph Curry\u2019s widespread appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the modern MJ. I used to see this playing with the Bulls. Half the crowd has red #23 jerseys on. Now half the crowd has blue and yellow #30 jerseys,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cSteph transcends the game. He elicits and emotion from people. I think because he\u2019s so awe inspiring with his play, that no matter where we go, there are people cheering for him and can\u2019t wait to see him perform. Because we have never seen anything like him and I think people can relate to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Steve Kerr calls Steph Curry a modern Michael Jordan: \u201cHe\u2019s the modern MJ.
