Once Kerr took over the first thing he added was split cuts out of the post and it quickly became one of the most devastating actions in the NBA.

When Kerr took over the Warriors he had a special play for the end of quarters, if the Heat have no timeouts they have 2-3 “back pocket” plays and the Thunder and Coach Daigneault now are must watch in special situations.

They ran an awesome play with multiple players moving at the same time and tricking the defense in a situation that would normally become an auto-switch with creative action to punish this.
