How Steve Kerr used the Cavs’ fear of Jordan Poole to put them away

If you’ve been watching the Golden State Warriors for almost the entirety of Steve Kerr’s tenure as head coach, you’d probably know how much he loves running their tried-and-tested low-post split action.

Kerr spams split action as if it was a 2K money play — and most of the time, it is indeed a money play. It’s perfectly built for a roster with the kind of movement shooters and screeners to maximize its effectiveness.
