Poole, Warriors' rookies fuel first-half comeback vs. Lakers

Share

The Warriors got off to an ugly start Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers before Jordan Poole, Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga helped ignite a sloppy Golden State offense. 

Down by as many as 14 points with 4:02 remaining in the first quarter of Sunday's game at Crypto.com Arena, the Warriors' offense got hot at the right time, outscoring the Lakers 56-37 from that point on to close out the first half. 

Stellar 3-point shooting from Poole in the first half (4-of-5) helped spark Golden State's first-half comeback. 

The Warriors' guard drilled a couple of threes from Steph Curry distance and finished the first half with 16 points. 

Moody chipped in nine points off the bench, including a dunk. 

Kuminga scored eight points, threw down a dunk and grabbed four rebounds in 13 minutes of action.
