Although the Golden State Warriors have been stacking up losses, Jordan Poole has continued to impress while Steph Curry is sidelined due to injury.
Along with fueling the offense with a flurry of points across Golden State’s recent stretch, Poole has stacked up multiple highlight-reel plays during the final run of the regular season.
On Sunday against the Washington Wizards, Poole showed off his handles on the way to a bucket on the rim. After racing up the floor, Poole split a pair of Wizards’ defenders with a crafty through the legs crossover for a wide-open layup at the rim.

Despite the Warriors’ 123-115 loss to the Wizards, Poole finished with a game-high 26 points on 8-of-25 shooting from the field with six boards, three steals and two assists in 40 minutes.
Poole has now notched 20 or more points in 13 consecutive games. During that span the third-year guard is averaging 25.5 points on 50.4% shooting from the field and 45.2% shooting from beyond the arc.
Without Curry, the Warriors will need to lean on Poole to finish the final stretch of the regular season.
