The Golden State Warriors are the last year defending champion. However, the ongoing season has been full of ups and downs for the teams. Steph Curry, one of the greatest shooters in the NBA, has been the key behind the Warriors\’ success in the season. Therefore, the team and the fans were worried after his fallout from future games due t injury. However, during the game against the Raptors, point guard Jordan Poole decided to give his career-best performance and guide GSW to a win. As a result, his team Draymond Green has showered praise on him.
Draymond Green Praises Jordan Poole!
Despite losing Steph Curry for a considerable amount of time, the Golden State Warriors have found a way to win without him. Jordan Poole scored a staggering 43 points to lead the Warriors to a rout of the Toronto Raptors. And looks like Draymond Green saw the victory over the Raptors as a model for future victories for the Warriors.
Thanks to Poole\’s amazing display of his skill on the court last night, the Warrior finally ended their three-game losing streak. In Sunday night\’s game, they defeated Toronto Raptors by 126-110. This was the first in Jordan Poole\’s career when he was able to break the 40-point threshold. And it couldn\’t have come at a better time for the Warriors.
With Stephen Curry sidelined, Poole\’s performance at this level is essential to Golden State\’s success. Steve Kerr, the head coach, emphasized the significance of Poole\’s performance and cited Sunday as one of the few highlights of his brief professional career. Along with Poole\’s effort, Draymond Green also significantly influenced the game after coming back from a one-game absence due to a right quad injury.
Green immediately established the tone by making three straight three-pointers. This allowed him to keep them consistent on defense while allowing the rest of the squad to settle in offensively. In 37 minutes of action, Green ended the game with 17 points, nine rebounds, and five assists.
Meanwhile, during the post-match conversation with the media, Draymond Green praised his teammate Jordan Poole for his important contribution. Draymond claimed to understand the team\’s style of play. Not many shots are going to land as well as they did tonight. However, the group played solid basketball. Shots are often your reward for strong basketball play.
Even if the hostility between Green and Poole has now been resolved, it\’s still odd to hear Green speak so highly of Poole after the two of them engaged in a physical altercation only two months prior. While to a certain extent, Draymond Green is right. On the other hand, for the Warriors to triumph over a failing Toronto Raptors squad, Jordan Poole had to put on a masterful performance. Meanwhile, The Golden State Warriors\’ next five games are against significantly harder opponents than the Toronto Raptors.
