The Golden State Warriors visited Miami Heat in the FTX Arena as they play another game on the road, the Warriors were without their 3 superstars, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. The Miami Heat have been on an inconsistent run who missed out on Tyler Hero. The Warriors and Heat were locked on a tough battle, and who would shift the momentum on their side, both the teams matched the other stride-to-stride, ending the 1st quarter 23-23, and ending the 2nd quarter 27-27. It was only in the 2nd half that the Warriors ended the 3rd quarter with a 1-point lead and the Warriors took the 4th quarter outscoring the Miami side.

The Golden State Warriors relied heavily upon Jordan Poole to take the responsibility for getting buckets. And he didn’t disappoint at all, and in taking the responsibility he is definitely eyeing Curry’s record of scoring 20+ points in 12 consecutive games. He has now had a 20+ point game in 11 games so far, he is just shy of 1 game to equal Curry’s numbers. He is now the 4th player to do so in Warriors history. He ended the game against the Heat with 30 points, 9 assists, and 4 rebounds.

Jordan Poole is the 2nd youngest player to do it

Jordan Poole with his 11th successive 20+ points game has done so in style, he is the 2nd youngest player to do so, at the age of just 22. The only player younger than Poole to do it was Rick Barry, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and David Lee did it when they were much older, so it is probably a start of a new generation of player for the Warriors after Jordan Poole has been looking promising since the start of this season.

Jordan Poole has had a tough life in the NBA, where he was struggling for minutes in his first 2 seasons, and being dent to the G League, with Klay Thompson out with injury, he finally got his chance to play the minutes he deserved. He played as a brilliant backup player for Klay Thompson, and it almost looks like Klay will be playing backup for Jordan Poole if he keeps his game going in the league. It is quite safe to say, if Jordan Poole continues his development at the same pace, the future for the Warriors is already looking bright.
