Jordan Poole talks to reporters following the Warriors’ 134-124 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday.
Jordan Poole certainly knows how to end quarters in style, taking cues from his mentor Steph Curry in the Warriors' 116-101 win over the Houston Rockets on Friday at Chase Center.
With the Warriors up 63-49 as the second quarter expired, Kevon Looney passed the ball to Poole with under five seconds left in the first half.
Taking a few dribbles and passing the halfcourt line, Poole confidently rose up and shot a 3-pointer from more than 30 feet out. The shot was pure, hitting nothing but net as the buzzer rang, and elicited a classic reaction from Curry, who was watching on the Warriors bench.
Seeing the 23-year-old's 3-pointer splash in from way deep, all Curry could do was smile and hold up a 3-point sign on both of his hands as he rehabs from his lower leg injury.
Poole's almost-half-court heave gave him 12 points in the half and, more importantly, a 17-point lead for the Warriors heading into halftime.

Though Poole hitting near-half-court shots is something the Warriors gladly will take.
