Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr has found his winning formula, and it's largely thanks to the emergence of veteran signings Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton. The duo has brought stability to the team's rotation, allowing Kerr to settle on a consistent starting five that's been clicking.
With 19 points against the Sacramento Kings on Friday, Melton is finally seeing some success after his return from knee surgery. Meanwhile, Horford is thriving in his new role, shooting 45.2% from three-point range while playing in seven of nine games since Christmas.
Kerr praised the chemistry between Melton and Horford, saying they're setting a good tone when on the court and understand that they need to play through Jimmy Butler first. The Warriors' second unit has become a force to be reckoned with, and their recent success suggests they've finally found their winning combination.
The team's consistency is partly due to the emergence of Melton and Horford, who have helped create a second unit that can carry the load when Curry isn't on the court. Kerr plans to increase Melton's playing time, which should help his production even more.
Curry echoed Kerr's sentiments, saying the recent success is thanks in part to Melton and Horford. The two veterans are helping to connect certain lineups, and their addition has changed the team dynamic significantly.
For now, it seems that Kerr's decision-making may have cost him in a fantasy football league, but it's paid off on the court. As long as Melton and Horford continue to perform well, the Warriors should remain in contention for a playoff spot.

i think its great that kerr is giving melton more playing time, he's been getting some solid minutes off the bench but now he can show what he's got. horford's shooting from 3 is a game changer too! it's awesome to see these vets stepping up and making a difference 
I'm loving the chemistry between melton and horford too, they're like the dynamic duo of the playoffs 
they're actually playing smart now 
, no more 3-and-D or bench warming for De'Anthony 
Al Horford's been a game changer too, his 3PT % is insane 
the team's consistency now is a big deal 
OMG you guys! I just checked the stats and Al Horford is on FIRE 
, they're setting a good tone for the rest of the team.
Melton's been on the injury list for ages, so it's great to see him back out there contributing. And with Curry not playing every game (he's a warrior after all, he needs rest 
), the second unit is really making a difference. Kerr must be doing something right... I'm not exactly a basketball expert but even I can tell that's a winning formula! 
. I was really worried about our team this season but with these new signings we're looking solid 
. The second unit is on fire and if they keep playing like this, I'm sure we'll be making some noise in the playoffs 
.
. I mean, 45.2% from three-point range is insane! And De’Anthony Melton coming back from injury and finally hitting his stride is super reassuring for the team 
. Now, I know some people might say Kerr took a risk with his starting lineup decisions, but from what I can see, it's working out 
. As long as Melton and Horford keep killing it, the Warriors are golden 
.
, and De'Anthony Melton's getting some serious minutes now that he's back from injury. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and Jimmy Butler is definitely benefitting from having them on the court. I'm excited to see how this second unit keeps it up!
... like, can't we just have some decent formatting or something?! It's hard to even read the comments when everything is all jumbled up 
. And don't even get me started on the font – it's like they took a bunch of different fonts and mashed them together into this ugly mess 
. 
️. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out... fingers crossed! 
. It's crazy how much of a difference they've made, and I'm not surprised Kerr is hyping them up so much. The chemistry between those two is real 
. But what's even more impressive is that they're creating a new identity for the team, one where they can win without Curry on the court 
. It's great to see Kerr trusting these guys and giving them more playing time, too – it's definitely paying off.
. And with Curry nodding in agreement, I think we can say this is a winning combination 
.

! And Horford, man... 45.2% from three-point range? 
I'm low-key impressed with how Kerr played his cards, signing those vets to shore up the squad. Al Horford's been on fire from 3-point range and De'Anthony Melton's finding his groove again after that knee surgery 
what is the point of having a vet like him on the team? hes gonna be injured more often than not and when he plays, hes just shooting 45% from three...that's it. Melton is actually pretty cool I guess but Kerr shouldnt have benched Curry so much
