Poole joins Steph, KD in Warriors' record book with 20-point streak

Share

It wasn't long ago that Jordan Poole was mired in a brutal slump as he tried to work through his fluctuating role on the Warriors.

But those days now are just a distant memory for the Warriors young guard. Poole has been scorching hot over the past two weeks, and that continued Wednesday night when he torched the Miami Heat for 30 points in the Warriors' 118-104 win.

With those 30 points, Poole now has scored 20 or more points in 11 consecutive games, joining Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and David Lee as the only Warriors to achieve the feat in the past decade.

Poole, 22, became the second-youngest Warrior to go on this scoring binge, slotting in behind the legendary Rick Barry. 

Pretty impressive company for the third-year guard to keep.

In his last 11 games, Poole is averaging 25.6 points per game while shooting 54.6 percent from the field and 50.5 percent from 3-point range. Poole also leads the NBA in 3-pointers made in March (52).

With Curry out for at least two weeks with a sprained ligament in his left foot, the Warriors need Poole to stay hot as the playoffs approach.

If Wednesday night's Poole party was any indication, the Warriors guard won't be cooling off anytime soon.
