Charles Barkley Ripped Jordan Poole for His Bad Decision Late in Warriors’ Loss to Lakers

LeBron James and the Lakers took Game 1 of their second-round series with the defending champion Warriors, winning a tight game on the road 117–112.

Anthony Davis had a huge night for the Lakers, scoring 30 points and pulling down 23 rebounds. 

Golden State had a chance in the final seconds of the game to pull even, but Jordan Poole missed a long three-point attempt that didn’t seem to be the best choice at that moment. 

Charles Barkley wasn’t a fan of Poole’s decision and he let that be known while breaking down the play in the postgame show. 

Here’s how it played out: 

Steph Curry probably needs to have the ball in his hands in that moment. 

The Warriors will try to even the series Thursday night.
