Authors of a 13-0 in the last moments of the game to overthrow Denver on its floor tonight, the Warriors were able to count on an excellent Jordan Poole, who crucified the Nuggets in the last minute with two award-winning shots. Never shy when the last quarter comes, the young fullback took things into his own hands in the “money time”, while Stephen Curry, excellent during the third quarter, stepped back and let him do it.
” We know what a talented scorer he is.” said the Warriors point guard after the meeting. ” I really like the way he plays, he is aggressive while remaining under control. He can score from 3-pointers, can beat his opponent by dribbling. He is very skilful in his finishes, masters the floater. He has everything in store. So this is a new asset for us.”
Similar refrain heard from Steve Kerr, satisfied by the performance of the former Michigan player, and by the progress shown recently. ” I thought it was one of his best matches. And for four or five matches, he has been chaining. He is really starting to find his place.“
The Warriors coach rightly points out the recent rise in power of Jordan Poole: for 5 matches, he has averaged 23.8 points, 61.1% on shots and 59% on 3-pointers (out of 7.8 attempts!). A heat stroke which coincides with the big slack experienced by Andrew Wiggins. The winger is skating in attack at the moment, especially on free throwsand Jordan Poole seized the opportunity to establish himself as the Warriors’ second offensive option behind Stephen Curry since All-Star Weekend.
” It’s the kind of thing you work on for a lifetime he said of his current form. ” I’m working hard to be ready for the playoffs, and to be ready to step up when my team needs it. It’s just about staying ready to seize an opportunity.“
