Jordan Poole returned to face the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, rekindling memories of his tenure with the team, which included a championship win and playing alongside players like Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney. Despite the positive times, his tenure ended awkwardly, marked by an incident known as 'The Punch'. Poole reflected on his time with the Warriors, and coach Steve Kerr expressed regret over how it ended. The Warriors had signed Poole to a four-year extension but did not employ him for a single day of it. His return to Golden State was met with anticipation, as the Warriors prepared to face the Washington Wizards without Draymond Green, who missed the game. The game also marked Poole's reunion with former teammates, and he received a warm welcome and a tribute video from the Warriors. The game was part of the Warriors' pursuit of their fourth consecutive win, following a game-sealing triple by Steph Curry with a release time of .367 seconds and peak elevation of 19 feet, 1 inch against the Boston Celtics.

Jordan Poole received a standing ovation in his return to the Bay 👏 https://t.co/GVJ54yMHEw
Fifteen points in 10 minutes for Jonathan Kuminga. He's 6-of-6 shooting. Hit a 3, but mostly killing the Wizards at the rim. Had a post up on Poole and then several slash opportunities. Has an and-1 free throw after the timeout for 16 first half points.
Trayce is +11 in 7 minutes LOL. Again, Curry hits a couple of shots, TJD would be more like +17 in 7 minutes. Regardless, he's playing, he's changing everything, and it's freaking beautiful.
Tired: Jordan Poole Revenge Game Wired: Trayce Jackson-Davis Revenge Game
Trayce is +7 in 5 minutes of play. Would be much higher if Curry could hit a shot but he's 1/6 FG so far. Good news is that he's got 5 assists and 0 turnovers. Wizards scored 17 points in the first 6 minutes - only 6 points in the next 4 minutes since Trayce entered.
