While Steph Curry impacted this game more through his passing than his scoring (although 21 points is nothing to scoff at), it was on a specific three-point set — in which he paired up with Jimmy Butler on an off-ball screening action — that shined a light on the Charlote Hornets’ coverages and dictated how they defended Curry the rest of the night.
The set involving the Golden State Warriors’ two main options predates Butler. But its potency — already enhanced by the willingness of Curry to set a screen — is magnified through Butler’s involvement.
