Jordan Poole was tossed for the first time in his career, but not before helping the Warriors defeat the Grizzlies.
SAN FRANCISCO — Jordan Poole scored 32 points — highlighted by emphatic one-handed slam off a pass from Draymond Green in the third — to outduel Ja Morant before being ejected, and the Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies 123-109 on Sunday night in a rematch of the Western Conference Finals won in five games by Golden State. for the Grizzlies’ first Christmas Day game.
Facing a Grizzlies team that is healthy at last and using its regular lineup, tensions were high just like that playoff round seven months ago. Poole was tossed for the first time in his career with 9:20 left and Golden State had six technicals. The Warriors used a 19-8 burst to begin the second quarter to lead 52-37. But Memphis roared back, getting to 59-54 on three free throws by Tyus Jones just before halftime following a technial on Poole.
Green had been questionable with right foot soreness but tested it during a walk-through and was fine to go, contributing 13 rebounds and 13 assists. That kept the Warriors from potentially using a different starting lineup for a seventh straight game. DiVincenzo returned Sunday from missing two games with an illness.“They have a lot of continuity,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “I really admire what they’ve built over the last four, five years.
