Jordan Poole atones for mistake, Steph Curry's mouthpiece throw (NBC Sports Bay Area)

In the end, Jordan Poole, the same teammate who made Curry mad made him glad. All was forgiven.

The Grizzlies responded with Ja Morant driving into the lane and feeding Brandon Clarke for a game-tying lob with 6.3 seconds left. “Not just because it is Memphis and all of the narratives there, but it is just how we’re playing. That brightened the spotlight on Klay Thompson and Poole. Poole got under Curry’s skin – and that of his coaches and teammates – by launching a 29-foot shot with 13 seconds on the shot clock and 1:14 left in the game. “Obviously, he's our leader and we would love to have him in the game with us for the last 3, but we just found a way to grit it out and get a big win against a really good team. A lot of celebrations in the tunnel,” Curry said. Thompson buried a triple with 14.6 seconds to go to give Golden State a two-point lead. Curry lasted only six minutes before being tossed, but he scored 10 points without missing a shot and was plus-8. Truth told, JP is the 23-year-old heir apparent to Steph, who is 34 and, all things considered, the greatest Warrior of all-time. As they did in the fourth quarter. Poole was grinning in return. He slapped palms with security chief Yusef Wright and then teammate/friend Andre Iguodala.
