The Poole party continues, controversially
Former Wolverine guard Jordan Poole continued his breakout playoff performance for the Warriors in a Game 3 win, totaling 27 points in a 142-112 win over the Grizzlies.
Though, during an attempted steal, Poole twisted Ja Morant's knee leading to an injury shortly after that will keep the Memphis star sidelined for Game 4.
The NBA announced it wouldn't take any action against Poole for the incident.
