Jordan Poole’s poor 3-point shooting percentage and detrimental defense is hurting the Warriors when the team needs him most.
Saturday night’s loss to the Grizzlies was the perfect encapsulation of Poole’s season: up and down, and all too often, down in the wrong moments. Poole provided positives in Memphis — brilliant makes, sharp decisions, even a couple of nice defensive possessions; his 17-point third quarter was outstanding, as he made nine free-throws in the frame.
And while Poole helped keep the Warriors close to start the fourth, his two fourth-quarter turnovers and defensive struggles were critical in the Dubs going from down 3 in the final frame to losing by 14. It takes more than one player to lose a game, but Kerr might as well have been talking solely about Poole.
The Warriors are now 0-23 on the road this season when trailing going into fourth quarter. They haven not won a road game since January.
