Golden State Warriors have a tough run at their campaign with a record of 15-16. Defending Champions are struggling at the 11th place in the Western Conference standings. Additionally, Warriors star campaigner Stephen Curry missed out on the last two games as he injured his shoulder. Despite his absence, the Warriors managed to seal their first victory in the last six games against Toronto Raptors, thanks to 23-year-old Jordan Poole. Poole fulfilled the absence of Curry with his career-best figures. An interesting statistic on Poole diverted the NBA Twitter towards Curry.

Poole scored his career-best of 43 points supported by Klay Thompson and Draymond Green with 17 points each. The Warriors recorded their first-ever victory without Chef Curry this season. Poole’s impressive performance in the absence of Curry raised the eyebrows of the Warriors’ fans.
