Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole Collect Team-High 27 Points
3 years agoGolden State Warriors point guards Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole combined to form a nearly unguardable duo (in addition to Klay Thompson, too) in Thursday's Game 3 victory over Denver, with each dropping 27 points. Poole remained in the starting five as Curry reacclimates to a full minutes allotment, with the 22-year-old shooting 9-for-13 overall and adding three rebounds and three assists to another all-around breakout performance. Curry was instant offensive off the bench, knocking down three triples and dishing out six assists in just 31 minutes of action. The two-time NBA MVP's minutes are likely to continue trending upward for Game 4 on Sunday, but that shouldn't hurt Poole's stock too significantly, as the Warriors appear to have unlocked a 2022 version of their "death lineup," which features a guard-heavy attack that is ferociously difficult to combat.
