There was a Poole Party going on in Little Caesars Arena. 

Golden State was down by 19 points in the third quarter against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday -- and then it turned into the "Jordan Poole game."

The young Warriors guard took matters into his own hands, scoring 12 points in 52 seconds. 

Poole knocked down his first 3-pointer with 8:46 remaining in the third quarter, but it was by no means his last. 

Two Warriors’ possessions later, Poole sharply cut to the basket for an easy layup plus the foul. The reigning free-throw king got the extra point.

In transition a few moments later, Steph Curry passed the ball to Poole, who was waiting behind the arc, and drained the triple with ease. 

Seven seconds later, Poole stole a bad pass from Detroit's second-year guard Cade Cunningham and sank a 3-pointer from the exact same spot less than 10 seconds earlier.

And to no surprise, Poole had a great lively reaction as Pistons coach Dwane Casey was forced to pull a plug on the Poole Party and call a timeout. 

But the party was nowhere near over.

Curry found Poole again in transition and tossed him the ball. Before Poole even let the ball go, Curry confidently turned around and started running the other way, foreshadowing what was to come.

Splash. 

Despite Poole's third-quarter efforts, the Warriors fell to the Pistons, 128-114, and have dropped two-straight games.
