Not really sure why Curry picked up his dribble there. Wonder what he saw/couldn't see.

Steph was doubled in the back court. He is used to double teams and usually responds by extending the dribble laterally and finding the open man for a pass. However, they hadn't gotten the ball past half court and he didn't want to incur the 8 second violation. Hence he picked up the dribble and made the pass to Klay.

Probably saw Klay have an entire quarter of the court open to get him the ball quickly. Threw it a bit short of where Klay was (hence Monk having to reach down for it) assuming that a 10 year NBA vet knows to come towards the ball on a pass… alas

Still don’t think he should’ve picked it up, but it was a very reasonable pass.
