NBC Sports Bay Area’s Kerith Burke provided an inside look at Jordan Poole’s postgame availability after the Warriors’ Game 4 loss to the Lakers.
"So we're all kind of around him, the sides of him. He turned his music off for us, but that locker room, the visitors locker room is really cramped, so when that music went off, all the other players were listening as well. You could see Andrew Wiggins. There was [Kevon] Looney right near by and then GP2 came to the locker. It was like all eyes and ears were on Jordan right there. And it just heightened the tension.
"So, what did Jordan end up saying? Because we need to acknowledge that this hasn't been a great series for him, maybe not even a great postseason for him. Something has happened to his shot. It's just not there. We know that he has a good shot but why is he struggling now? Why is he a little bit uncomfortable.
"Just reviewing some of the things he said. It was some pretty short answers. 'My shot. I don't know. If I knew, I'd tell you.' He didn't want to talk about himself. He kept saying we have a game in a couple of days. I asked him, I was like 'Jordan, we know your work ethic is good.
"So the frustration very clear coming through from Jordan Poole. And then when we all backed out, the music started again and there was some tension-breaking laughter in the room as reporters and Jordan kind of digested what happened in the game."
