The Warriors lost 117-112 to the Lakers but it could have been a different story as Jordan Poole was presented with a fine opportunity in the final moments.
The Golden State Warriors will rue a missed opportunity to win Game 1 at home, coming up short against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Poole's huge chance for Warriors
The Warriors’ best efforts were almost rewarded when Jordan Poole missed a three-point attempt from deep with roughly 10 seconds left on the clock. Golden State was down 112-115, and the shot would have tied the game.
After the game, head coach Steve Kerr spoke about the attempt.
“Pretty good look,” Kerr said via 95.7 The Game. “That’s a shot he can hit. Really happy with that possession. Jordan had six threes already. It was a great shot for us.”

Big picture
Curry and Klay Thompson are two of the greatest three-point shooters of all time, and in that situation, one of them should get the shot for the Warriors.
Instead, it was Poole, and while Kerr is fine with it, one can only wonder how the game would have turned out if Curry or Thompson were presented with an opportunity to take that shot.
