Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole combined for 80 points as the Golden State Warriors emerged with a 118-113 road win over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night to secure a commanding 3-0 series lead in their first-round playoff series.
If Poole hasn't officially been enshrined part of the Splash Brothers, he certainly deserves honorary member status after his breakout stretch continued with 27 points, three assists and three rebounds to help push the Nuggets to the brink of elimination.
The third-year guard has scored 86 points on the strength of 13 threes in the series, and there's little Denver's defense can do to solve the problem he presents because Curry and Thompson are also in a groove offensively.
