SAN FRANCISCO — After Warriors players filed into Chase Center the morning after Steph Curry’s return, they were directed through a longer-than-usual film session.

Overall, head coach Steve Kerr was encouraged by how his team played in Curry’s first game back after a four-month absence caused by a broken left hand, but he also saw missed opportunities in the Warriors’ loss to the Raptors on Thursday night.

“We scored 113 points against the second-best defense in the league and we missed a lot of open looks,” Kerr said Friday. “I thought Steph looked really good and I thought the guys reacted to him well. We have a lot of work ahead.”

Playing with Curry is unlike playing with any other superstar. Not only is Curry perhaps the greatest shooter in NBA history, his fervent movement off the ball makes him difficult to guard and, if you’re his teammate, sometimes difficult to find.

That’s why Friday’s film session focused partly on helping Golden State’s youngsters identify chances to get Curry the ball in optimal situations.

Here are some of the plays they may have noted.

Curry missed wide open

Here, Andrew Wiggins’ simply misses Curry snapping across a Marquese Chriss screen to his left. Curry makes his cut so quickly, Toronto’s Norman Powell is left lurching. He’s wide-open.

However, Wiggins is focused on Damion Lee’s screen on the right side. After setting his screen, Lee pops for a 3-pointer and crowds Curry’s space, and Curry is forced to relocate to the corner.

By the time he gets the ball, Powell has fully recovered and is back to defending him. Only about 4 seconds came off the shot clock but, in that time, Curry went from wide-open for a 3-pointer to passing to Chriss in the paint.

This is not to blame Wiggins or Lee. They were running a simple forward-guard set that would normally create a decent shot. However, Kerr calls fewer plays when Curry is on the floor, opting instead to rely on the improvisation of the two-time MVP.

“The old guys the last five years, it was second-nature to understand where Steph was going to be,” Kerr said. “The new guys have to feel it and see it.”

Clunky offense

This play starts off poorly. Curry, who understands his own gravity more than any player in the league, screens for Wiggins knowing his new teammate is an elite cutter.

But rather than take off toward the rim, Wiggins loiters in the corner. With Powell playing the passing lane, Curry is unable to return to the ball, and the possession crumbles.

As Chriss swings the ball to Juan Toscano-Anderson, Wiggins jogs the baseline with Curry caravanning behind him. To his credit, Wiggins saves the possession by setting a brisk screen that takes out both his and Curry’s defender. With room in front, he rolls to the rim and nestles along the baseline, where Curry finds him with a lefty behind-the-back pass.

Though the end result was an easy 2-pointer, had Wiggins simply cut when Curry had set the screen, they could have gotten an even easier shot (and perhaps an and-1 opportunity) 10 seconds earlier.

Always find Curry in chaos

This may be the most obvious missed opportunity of the game, if only because Curry ends up waving his hand and jumping to get attention.

After Wiggins’ offensive rebound, he kicks out to Toscano-Anderson. At that point, everyone should be looking for Curry. Instead it’s Chriss — a 21% 3-point shooter — who ends up taking a shot with 7 seconds left on the shot clock.

Reward Curry

This is a very basic floppy action — a standard NBA play in which a shooter darts toward the baseline before curling back to the 3-point arc.

Curry sets a screen for Wiggins in the paint but, rather than wait for Curry to emerge from the defense, Toscano-Anderson enters the ball to Wiggins in the low block.

Then Toscano-Anderson screens for Curry and both defenders go with Curry. Wiggins rightly passes the ball to Toscano-Anderson rolling to the rim.

“When a guy is running off a screen and drawing defenders with him away from the ball on the weekside, that shifts all the pieces on the chessboard around,” Kerr said. “That’s when the young players have to find their spots.”

Toscano-Anderson passes to Chriss in the corner, who attacks a closeout and finds Wiggins open for a 3-pointer after all the attention goes to Curry. The Warriors would have been better off just getting the ball to Curry in the first place, but there are flashes here that they know how to work off him.

Screen for Curry

Over the next 19 games, the Warriors will have to break some habits they established in the 58 games Curry missed. Part of that is deviating from the simple play — the play they would have made without an all-time great shooter on the floor — and recognizing where Curry is.

In other words, “Now you start to get to that next layer of the offense,” Draymond Green said.

After Chriss hands the ball of to Curry, Curry then hands the ball off to Wiggins. It’s a simple weave action — the sort of thing all these guys have run since grade school — that leads to an even simpler pick-and-roll. After Wiggins gets the ball, Chriss dives to the rim.

But Curry hasn’t stopped moving since initiating the action. Meanwhile, Toronto’s defense cuts off Wiggins’ passing lane to Chriss. Wiggins is forced to pass to Curry, who has to get creative to make something out of a broken play.

Rather than roll to the rim, Chriss could have flared and set another screen for Curry, which would have led to a wide-open 3-pointer. That’s admittedly a tough read at the moment, especially for someone whose bread is buttered by rolling to the rim. But even after Curry gets the ball, Chriss posts up instead of setting another screen.

Curry is a generous screen setter. His new teammates need to do the same.

“He can play with or without the ball, and he affects the game so dramatically without the ball,” Kerr said. “Most guys don’t do that. Most stars need the ball in their hands. His off-ball work is something that requires all five guys to be on the same page.”

All in all, Curry’s first game was encouraging. The Warriors almost beat the team with the third-most wins in the NBA while Curry took just 16 shots in 27 minutes in his first game back from a broken left hand.

“Toronto is a championship team that has a lot of chemistry and they know how to win,” Curry said. “For us it was a good step in the right direction, everybody just competing. We can build off of this.”
