The Golden State Warriors made an odd move to start the second half against the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. Trailing by 12 at the break, the Warriors tweaked the starting lineup for the third quarter.
Moving out of the lineup was Kevon Looney, who has been one of the team’s best players this season. Moving into the lineup was Jordan Poole, who has struggled mightily in the opening weeks.
I guessed that it was out of a desire to get Draymond Green playing the five, but after the game, coach Steve Kerr revealed that it was more about trying to get Poole going.
