72 points at 56% shooting. This is the record of Jordan Poole after two matches played without Stephen Curry. The first was unfinished against the Sixers, but the second resulted in a victory in Toronto, and the temperamental back of the Warriors even took the opportunity to sign his career high with 43 points on 14 of 23 on shots. This is only the defending champion’s third away win.
” That feels good “ recognizes Jordan Poole. “We talked about it on the bench, because some of the oldest had a lot of games at 39 points. It’s cool to be over 40, and a lot of the old ones kinda pissed me off. But the most important thing is that it feels good to have a victory on the road. We haven’t been very successful away so far, so hopefully that will give us a boost going forward. »
It should be remembered that Stephen Curry, hit in the shoulder, will therefore miss at least two weeks, but also that Andrew Wiggins missed his 7th game in a row tonight.
The 2022 NBA champion is in apnea, but he has found some virtues in Toronto with skill (53% on shots, 18 3-point baskets), collective (31 assists) and defense (42% on shots for Toronto).
A patient and organizing Poole
About Jordan Poole, Steve Kerr appreciated his patience and shot selection, whether against the Sixers or the Raptors. Jordan Poole let the game come to him, and that’s a great sign of progress.
“He played a lot of very big matches for us” also recalls the coach of the Warriors. “This one, if not the best, it’s clearly one of the very best because he was very good on both ends of the pitch. His defense was excellent, I thought he was patient in attack and led us well. He set the tone, and he just carried us. »
For Jordan Poole, it’s the whole group that deserves compliments. “Everyone needs to step up their game when one of our leaders gets injured. We did it tonight from the first to the last player in the squad. »
