Jordan Poole hits wild buzzer beater to end third quarter
Jordan Poole is one of the NBA’s biggest recent success stories. A year ago, Jordan Poole was playing in the G League. This year, Jordan Poole stepped up and saved the Golden State Warriors’ season. Early in the year, the Warriors tied the Phoenix Suns for the NBA’s best record. However, injuries hit the Warriors and they eventually fell into the fourth seed. Poole stepped up, prevented it from getting worse, and helped Golden State recover the third seed.
Jordan Poole remained in the starting lineup for the playoffs. While Stephen Curry led the Warriors to a 4-1 series win over the Nuggets, Poole was the starter. Despite Jordan Poole returning to the bench, for the Memphis Grizzlies’ series, he still played well. With Poole as the Warriors’ X factor, they ended a historic season for the Memphis Grizzlies. After that, Jordan Poole had a more defined role within the Warriors’ lineup.
Jordan Poole has become a key rotation player, during the 2022 NBA Finals. The Warriors returned to the NBA Finals for the sixth time in eight years. This run is special, because it came after the Warriors failed to make the playoffs for two straight years. As a result, the Warriors have played more spirited. Young guys like Jordan Poole are playing for the first time in the Finals. At the end of the third quarter, Poole hit a three pointer to shift the momentum to Golden State.
