In the fourth quarter of the game between the Warriors and Clippers, Kerr was ejected after getting heated following a missed goaltending call on a layup by Gary Payton II . He was thrown out of the game with two technical fouls.
Snoop Dogg was on commentary at this time, and he couldn't help but react. He thought that Kerr's former Arizona Wildcat was coming out in the moment.
"Back him up, back him up, G.P. [Gary Payton II], back him up! Steve's ready to fire on him!" Snoop Dogg exclaimed. "Steve's back in Inglewood right now. Inglewood! Get him, Steve! You in Inglewood, Steve!
"The Arizona Wildcat came out — look at him!" he continued, before beginning to make what sounded like growling sounds.
The Warriors, who were down by seven points at the time, rallied to make it a one-point game with a few seconds left. Jimmy Butler missed a shot that would have won the Warriors the game.
With the loss, the Warriors fell to 19-18 on the season. Meanwhile, the Clippers picked up their 13th win of the season in nail-biting fashion.
