After falling down by 11 points in the opening five minutes of Wednesday’s contest against the Phoenix Suns, it looked like the Golden State Warriors were in for a long night against the defending Western Conference champions.
However, after a boost of offense from Jordan Poole and tight defense from Draymond Green, the Warriors were able to land a few counter punches to get back into the game. Poole continued to carry the Warriors throughout the contest, scoring a game-high 38 points on 11-of-22 shooting from the floor with seven triples. The Michigan Wolverines product added nine boards, seven assists and a steal in 37 minutes.
However, it wasn’t enough to close out the league-leading Suns. After trading baskets back and forth, the Warriors couldn’t answer Devin Booker and Chris Paul as the clock ticked down.
