The Golden State Warriors won their first road game on the second half of a back-to-back this season, defeating the Washington Wizards 127-118 in the nation’s capital. After a disappointing loss to the Bulls on Sunday, the Dubs improved to 22-22 on the season.
With Klay Thompson resting on the second half of a back-to-back, Jordan Poole stepped into the starting lineup and had his best performance since the start of the New Year. Poole finished 12-for-20 from the field with 32 points and 7 rebounds, including a game-sealing triple off an offensive rebound from Draymond Green to give the Warriors a 123-114 lead with 1:29 left in the fourth quarter.
