The Golden State Warriors completed a successful five-game road trip tonight. This is the first time this season that any of us can say it. The Dubs took down the Spurs, lost to the Bulls, won over the Wizards, blew a game to the Celtics, and clawed a win tonight. Coming on the road with a 3-16 record, the Warriors have improved it to 6-18 on this road trip. Jordan Poole led the charge tonight for the unlikely win over the Cavs.

Playing without Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, the Warriors showed us that they could play good team basketball. Jordan stepped up tonight, leading the team with 32 points.
However, Poole had Head Coach Steve Kerr heated over a stupid mistake he committed. Read below to see what happened.
Steve Kerr was infuriated by Jordan Poole
During the offseason, Jordan Poole signed a 4-year, $140 Million extension with the Warriors. This was a huge commitment by the Warriors and their way of showing him their appreciation for his hard work toward the 2022 NBA Championship.
Despite playing 43 minutes last night, Poole played another 40 tonight. Thankfully, being 23 helps. However, that means that he commits some dumb errors as well. To end the 3rd quarter, the Warriors had possession with 7.1 seconds on the clock. They were about to inbound the ball when we saw Poole shove off a Cavs player, and pick up an offensive foul.
This had Head Coach Steve Kerr mad. He was yelling at Poole and was totally unhappy with what he had witnessed.
Clearly, Kerr wasn’t pleased by what he saw, and he let Poole know the same.
