NBA Fans Crushed Jordan Poole for His Mind-Boggling Decision at End of Warriors’ Loss
It was a brutal loss for the Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Lakers on Tuesday night and no one felt the loss harder than Jordan Poole. The guard made a questionable decision in the game’s final moments, leading to NBA Twitter’s almost universal disapproval.
With his team down three points and 10 seconds to go in the game, Poole pulled the trigger on a three-pointer from another area code and missed it. Los Angeles guard Dennis Schröder grabbed the rebound and that was all she wrote for Golden State.
Poole is capable of making deep shots from behind the arc, but with some time left on the clock, his decision to shoot the ball puzzled many fans.
Poole finished the game with a solid 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting, but that didn’t save him from the internet. Here are the best reactions to Poole’s shot that aided the 117–112 Golden State loss:
