Poole played just 10 minutes in a thriller at Crypto.com Arena — the lowest total minutes Poole has played in any game, regular or postseason, over the last two seasons. Poole also had zero points Monday night, marking the first time in his career he failed to score in a playoff game. He did, however finish with two turnovers, a foul, an 0-for-4 night from the field and the third-worst +/- on the team (-6).
“It just wasn’t his night, he didn’t have it going,” Kerr said of Poole. “We had other guys who were playing well, Moses came in and did a great job, Donte came in and gave us good minutes, Gary obviously gave us a big lift starting the game.
