His 30-point performance Saturday night was his sixth straight game of 20 or more points, and he's averaging 23.0 points, 4.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game in March while shooting 52.7 percent from three-point range. Let's start with the positive: Jordan Poole has gotten really good. Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday finished a ghastly 11-of-30 from the field in the loss. The Bucks, who were led by a 31-point effort from Giannis Antetokounmpo, had won six straight before going cold Saturday night.
The Warriors have won three straight games, righting the ship after losing seven of their previous eight. " I'm still going to go out there and compete." "I was eager for a night like this, but a midseason shooting slump, it's not going to kill my ego," Thompson told reporters. Thompson knocked down eight threes in what was by far his best performance since returning from a 30-month absence, while Poole continued his stellar run to start March. Stephen Curry was held to a season-low eight points, but it didn't matter because Poole and Thompson spearheaded the offense. Poole scored 30 points to add to Klay Thompson's 38 as the Golden State Warriors earned a 122-109 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Compare this all to his 5 assists and it’s not hard to see why he was a team-worst -13.Jordan Poole may not be a Splash Brother just yet, but he's at least a Splash Cousin. One of those early in the third was a very bizarre pass thrown seemingly directly to Andrew Wiggins. While Holiday made some huge shots in the fourth, his 8 turnovers-including 3 in the first 3 minutes of the second half-were a big issue for someone who only averages 2 per game. Jrue Holiday led the way for Milwaukee with 29. The Bucks simply had no way of stopping Steph Curry in the second half, who finished with an insane 41 points on 21 shots. The Bucks would have the ball down 1 with 7.7 remaining, but a poorly executed inbounds play resulted in Khris Middleton’s game-winning attempt being partially blocked, completing the Bucks’ collapse. Golden State never let their deficit get much beyond 8 points and used a 14-3 run late to grab the lead with 1:32 to go. Milwaukee could not build any safe leads in the fourth since Steph was going bonkers. Steph Curry had 19 in that period, though, so it was just 88-83 Bucks entering the fourth. Milwaukee came out of half with a huge 38 point third, thanks to 14 from a sweet-shooting Khris Middleton.
Though Milwaukee bounced back from that early 13 point deficit with a 31-12 run-and grabbed a brief 6 point lead early in the second-a 13-3 Jordan Poole-fueled sequence squashed the momentum as the Warriors led 53-50 going into the locker room. The Dubs got out to a quick 18-5 lead and hit 5 of their first 9 attempts from deep, leading 28-26 at the first quarter horn. The Bucks played from behind for almost all of the first half. Without MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks could not hold off a fourth quarter comeback led by a red-hot Stephen Curry, losing to the Golden State Warriors 122-121.
