In the early 4th quarter of the Utah Jazz - Golden State Warriors game, 2022.11.25-UTA-GSW, the Warriors bench had to hold onto the lead without Steph Curry, so they went to the Motion Weak pick and roll that Steve Kerr brought over from the Spurs offense. This unlocked Jordan Poole to score on the Jazz big defender to help the bench hold off the surging Jazz.
Co-starring Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Donte DiVincenzo, Jonathan Kuminga. With Walker Kessler, Lauri Markkanen and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Loved the E1P - it brought a simile to my face. Also, what brought another smile to my face tonight, as I was rewatching last nights game was the fact that I actually saw Jordan Poole finally bring out his great smile. This was right as he was laying on the ground, falling after making a drive to the basket and twisted around to make that assist to Klay, who hit a 3! Lets hope, things get rolling more consistently with him now!
In some sports like figure skating they named the moves after the athletes who came up with them first (eg the Rittberger). So what’s a Curry? Or a Steph?
