Steve Kerr wants the Warriors to discuss and strategize about this play.
In the recent game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, it wasn't Steph Curry's signature lookaway shot that caught the attention of coach Steve Kerr. Instead, it was the entire sequence of events that led up to the two-time MVP's game-clinching dagger.

With a comfortable eight-point lead and just over two minutes left on the clock, the Warriors were determined to put the game away. But instead of relying on their star player to take a contested jumper, they executed the classic "Warriors Way" play that has been lacking in their gameplay this season.

Curry and Trayce Jackson-Davis ran a high pick-and-roll, with everyone anticipating a blitz from the Timberwolves defense. However, Curry made a smart move by passing the ball to Jackson-Davis, who quickly found Andrew Wiggins in the corner. Wiggins then swung the ball to point guard Dennis Schroder, who delivered the final pass to Curry for the game-sealing shot.

Coach Kerr was ecstatic with the play and emphasized the importance of playing team basketball, especially with a player like Curry on their team. He reiterated this message through various channels, including press conferences, practices, film sessions, and timeouts.

Kerr didn't mention any names, but it was clear that he was addressing the young players on the team. The Warriors have a relatively young roster, with only a few players under the age of 25. Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski, who both played exceptionally well in the game, were not the targets of Kerr's words. However, rookie Jonathan Kuminga, who has shown potential but has also struggled with adapting to Kerr's system, was likely one of the players Kerr was referring to.

Despite his frustrations, Kerr chose to deliver his message after a much-needed win rather than a tough loss. And it wasn't just Kerr who echoed this sentiment. Curry himself agreed with his coach, stating that players need to be confident and decisive when playing with him. He also acknowledged the importance of making adjustments and executing plays that allow him to be a threat on and off the ball.

In the end, both Kerr and Curry believe that the Warriors will be a stronger team if they can figure out how to play around Curry's strengths. And with their recent win against the Timberwolves, it's clear that the Warriors are on the right track.
