WASHINGTON — Jordan Poole played Robin to Stephen Curry’s Batman Monday afternoon in the Warriors’ 127-118 win over the Washington Wizards.
Curry and Poole combined for 73 of the Warriors’ points, including 13 3s, and Draymond Green contributed 17 points, 10 assists and six rebounds to help Golden State bounce back from an embarrassing loss 24 hours earlier in Chicago and earn its fifth road win of the season.
Curry, playing in his fourth game back from a partially dislocated left shoulder, took over the fourth quarter to lead the Warriors to the finish line. He knocked down a step-back 3 with about two minutes remaining in the game to give the Warriors’ a six-point advantage after Golden State trailed by eight early in the final frame. Then, Poole drained a 3 of his own to make it a nine-point advantage.
