The Golden State Warriors destroyed the Pelicans Monday night, outscoring New Orleans in all four quarters to cruise to a 51-point (138-87) victory. Stephen Curry, Yaxel Lendeborg and Brandin Podziemski nearly outscored the Pelicans on their own, combining for 73 points. De'Anthony Melton, Charles Bassey and LJ Cryer each produced a double-digit scoring effort off the bench as well.
For New Orleans, it was a night to forget for many, including former Warriors guard Jordan Poole, who tallied seven points in 34 minutes of play off the bench. Following the contest, Poole was asked whether he'd ever return to Golden State. “Yes. (...) I mean, it just feels like home, though, you know?" said Poole.
“We won a championship. So it works (…) to answer
your question, definitely. This is my last year on the deal. I’m a free agent at the end of the season. So you never really know what’s going to happen,” Poole continued.
In four seasons with Golden State, Poole averaged 15.8 points, 3.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 0.7 steals over 266 games. However, his scoring numbers have taken a hit so far this year, averaging a career-low 6.2 points on 23.5% shooting from 3-point range in his first five games.
