On April 22, Beijing time, the Golden State Warriors won 118-113 against the Denver Nuggets, and Jordan Poole continued to start in place of Stephen Curry. He played 33 minutes and scored 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting (3-of-5 from three-point range), plus three rebounds and three assists.
Poole has been the Warriors' starter since the playoffs. All three games helped the team win, and Poole himself scored a total of 86 points, which surprised many Warriors fans.
To know that Michael Jordan scored 88 points in the first three playoff games of his career, Poole's current performance has made many people associate the two "Jordans".
The data shows that Poole averaged 4.3 three-pointers in three playoff games, surpassing Stephen Curry (4.2 per game). You must know that Curry is the first person in NBA history to hit a three-pointer on a three-point court, and now Pooler's sudden rise has made teammates feel the pressure.
