Wed Apr 16 02:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Warriors Coach’s Prediction Comes True as Looney Sinks Crucial Three-Pointer

**San Francisco, CA** – Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney surprised fans and commentators alike last night, hitting a crucial three-pointer against the Memphis Grizzlies – a shot his coach, Steve Kerr, accurately predicted before the game even began.

While Stephen Curry led the Warriors to a 134-125 victory with a remarkable 52-point performance and Draymond Green contributed a 13-point triple-double, Looney’s shot stole the spotlight. The usually paint-bound center, known for his rebounding prowess, sank a corner three-pointer with only 1.1 seconds left on the shot clock during a third-quarter inbound play.

Kerr, during his pre-game press conference, had foreseen this unlikely scenario. He remarked on Looney’s months of dedicated practice on his three-point shot, predicting, “There might be a shot tonight where he’s got a corner three with the shot clock [going down].” The accuracy of his prediction sparked excitement on social media.

Despite his career-long reputation as a non-shooter, Looney has maintained a surprisingly high 40% three-point shooting percentage over his eight-year career. However, this impressive statistic is based on a mere 12 successful three-pointers throughout that time. Whether this successful shot signals a change in Looney’s offensive approach remains to be seen, but it certainly provided a memorable highlight in the Warriors’ win.
