![]() ![]() “That happened twice this year already,” Poole said. In that split second, Thunder guard Josh Giddey was in no man’s land on defense, Poole and Looney were on the same page. Poole’s favorite assist: Off an offensive rebound, Poole had a heads-up pass to Kevon Looney under the basket for an easy dunk. “… I thought he played an incredible game on both sides of the ball.” “He had four turnovers but three of them was understanding what was going on in the game and trying to get Klay shots,” Green said. ![]() That meant seeking out Thompson and his teammates and letting scoring opportunities come to him he was thinking fast, but played slower and didn’t force-feed passes or over-dribble into turnovers.

Seven of those 3s came in the first half. Klay Thompson did his part to make up for Curry’s scoring, hitting 12 3-pointers in a 42-point game. If the Warriors can replicate their Monday night performance, they may be able to position themselves well in a jam-packed Western Conference upon Curry’s return from a leg sprain that’s expected to keep him out for several weeks. “It’s hard to have those laws when Steph is here because he can just bail us out and when he’s not it’s much tougher to do that.” “Steve always calls it organized chaos when Steph is out there, and we don’t have that when Steph is out so we have to stay organized,” Green said. Without that luxurious safety net, his teammates have to take special care of leads. But for the most part, you can just let the game take its path and play off Steph.”Ĭurry’s magic is his ability to erase deficits within a matter of minutes and will the Warriors to wins. “You can let the game take its path and then you can settle the game down. “With Steph, you don’t have to be so on, if that makes sense,” Green said.
