On Monday evening, the Washington Wizards hosted the Golden State Warriors.
The Wizards lost by a score of 125-112 to fall to 2-4 in their first six games of the new season.
Jordan Poole finished with 24 points, one rebound, three assists, three steals and four blocks while shooting 8/20 from the field and 2/10 from the three-point range in 33 minutes of playing time.
Many NBA fans reacted to his performance.
@nuckyverse: “When did Jordan Poole become a defensive specialist. His d stats from his last 2 games have been ridiculous!”
@_BenBecker: “Jordan Poole is really re-establishing his value. I have to think other teams are noticing. Lakers and Magic come to mind.”
Kerith Burke: “Jordan Poole seemed locked in with 3 steals, 4 blocks, 24 points and one extra point for Draymond apparently”
@spiianch: “Jordan Poole tonight:
24 PTS (game-high!)
3 ASTS
3 STLS (game-high!)
4 BLKS (game-high!)
Led both teams in 3 stats, but the Wizards fall short to the Warriors!”
@nickialanoche: “Jordan Poole needs to play every game like it’s against the Warriors @nba #NBA”
StatMamba: “Jordan Poole tonight:
24 PTS
3 AST
3 STL
4 BLK
Leading the league in steals.”
Warriors on NBCS: “Draymond and Jordan Poole exchanged taunts just before halftime tonight 😅”
Poole had spent the first four seasons of his career with Golden State.
The Wizards will resume action on Friday evening when they visit Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies.
