A hope that states that Curry isn’t going to be a lone Warrior for long. Poole’s 36-point haul helped the Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs 132-95 on Tuesday night.
Thompson was reportedly rested for the game against the Spurs, hence he did not feature in the team’s win.
Despite this, Dub Nation is aware that Curry’s performance needs to be complimented by his fellow splash brother Klay Thompson. However, panic hasn’t set in the locker room yet.
