Jordan Poole has struggled so far in the NBA Finals to find a rhythm, but the third-year pro finally got going in the closing moments of the third quarter of Game 2 on Sunday night.
With the Warriors again blitzing the Boston Celtics in the third quarter at Chase Center, Poole put the finishing touches on a 35-14 period.
Poole closed the quarter by hitting two deep 3-pointers, pushing the Warriors’ lead from 17 to 23 heading into the fourth quarter.
But the second of the two deep shots was a half-court heave to beat the buzzer, sending fans in the building and on Twitter into a frenzy.
The fans watching on the video board in Thrive City outside Chase Center couldn’t contain their excitement.
