[Thompson] Steve Kerr reveals that the first play was not drew up for Klay to shoot: "I drew the first up play … for him to catch it and move it on. I should have known better."

“I drew the first up play … for him to catch it and move it on,” Kerr said. “I should have known better.”

In the locker room, the game ball was given to him by his Splash Nephew, Canon Curry. A gift from the future, punctuating the present jubilation, because Thompson got past the roughest patch of his life.

“Threw him a nice crisp pass,” said Curry, whose 3-year-old also delivered Moses Moody the game ball after his first career basket. “Then he wanted a pass back and said, ‘I want to play basketball.’ And Klay gave it to him. So Klay’s second pass went to Canon.”
