Jordan Poole says he's tired of 'extra slander' after going off against 76ers

Jordan Poole is the reason — the only reason — the Golden State Warriors were able to turn an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit into a 120-112 win against the Philadelphia 76ers at Chase Center on Friday night.

Poole erupted for 19 fourth-quarter points as the Dubs overcame a 46-point night from MVP front-runner Joel Embiid to pull within a game of the Western Conference's four seed. And Poole used the performance as an opportunity to call out a season's worth of slander directed at the the fourth-year guard.

Appearing on NBC Sports Bay Area's Warriors Live post-game show, Poole was asked by former Warrior Festus Ezeli if this is "playoff JP" we're seeing turned on right now?
