didn’t score and missed all four of his shots playing 13 minutes against his former team after spending last season with Golden State. Poole shined on a night the Warriors honored Tim Hardaway as they celebrate a different player each home game during their 75th anniversary season.
The Warriors capitalized on a three-day break during this eight-game homestand that matches a franchise record.
He has scored in double figures every game this season. Lee had 15 points after he missed Saturday’s win against Oklahoma City with a bruised right shoulder. LaMelo Ball had 14 points, eight assists and five rebounds but shot just 5 for 14 and missed all six tries from deep as Charlotte began a five-game West Coast swing. Went to sleep a couple nights ago and I felt it,” said Poole, who also had four steals. He sensed this kind of performance coming. Poole, who has learned from Curry and Thompson not to let a few tough shooting nights get to him, scored 22 points in the initial two quarters: shooting 8 for 11 and 6 of 9 on 3s. Miles Bridges scored 21 of his 32 points in the first half and finished with five 3-pointers, and Gordon Hayward had 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Hornets.Ĭurry began 1 for 6 and missed his initial four 3-pointers before hitting from deep 53 seconds before halftime, when Golden State (6-1) led 53-52 and he had just five points. Curry shook off a slow start and not feeling well to add 15 points on 6-for-15 shooting - 3 of 11 on 3s - nine assists and eight rebounds. Poole shot 11 for 21 and hit a career-high seven 3-pointers and had a good feeling a couple of days ago he would find his shooting touch. Now, Kerr plans to play Payton even more. for two, three months,” fellow journeyman Damion Lee said. It’s a funny story, we worked out together during pre-draft. He vowed to stay ready and keep working, knowing a call would come from somewhere, “and thank God it came from here.” He’s the son of Hall of Famer Gary Payton and had been waived by the Warriors after the final preseason game last month only to re-sign ahead of the opener four days later to earn the final roster spot.
Payton scored 14 points to go with three steals and drew a rousing ovation when he left the game late. And he jumps off the page when you see him out there. It’s hard to stand out on an NBA floor athletically ’cause all those guys are the world’s greatest athletes. Just changed everything with his defense, his activity,” coach Steve Kerr said. “He dominated the game while he was out there.
