In OT
Jordan Poole was the hero on Wednesday night as the Golden State Warriors defeated the LA Clippers in overtime. Poole had a career-high 26 points and 12 assists, leading the Warriors to a 122-117 victory in the extra frame. He was also the only player to make a field goal in overtime, nailing a clutch three-pointer with 22 seconds remaining to break a tie and put the Warriors up for good.
The performance was a welcome sight for the Warriors, who have been struggling offensively this season. Poole was a sparkplug all night, attacking the rim and getting to the free-throw line in addition to his clutch shot. He was also the primary ball-handler for the Warriors, setting up his teammates for open shots and making the right decisions with the ball.
Poole was especially impressive in overtime, scoring 11 points and dishing out five assists. He was the only Warrior to make a field goal in the extra frame, and his final three-pointer was the difference maker. The Warriors have lacked a go-to scorer this season, and Poole showed he can be that guy when needed.
Overall, it was an impressive performance from Poole, who is quickly becoming one of the most exciting players on the Warriors roster. He is a player who can take over a game with his scoring ability, and he proved that on Wednesday night. If he can continue to produce like this, the Warriors will have a dangerous offensive weapon at their disposal.
