JP's historic playoff start puts him in company with Wilt

With every passing NBA playoff game, Jordan Poole continues to make his mark on the record books.

The 22-year-old scored 27 points in the Warriors' thrilling Game 3 win over the Denver Nuggets in their first-round playoff series at Ball Arena on Thursday night, pushing his three-game total to 86 points.

Poole became the 16th player in NBA history to score at least 25 points in each of his first three career playoff games and he's the second Warrior ever to do it, along with legend Wilt Chamberlain.

Poole's 86 total points are second most through a player's first three playoff games, behind only 106 from Chamberlain, per Sportsradar.

Poole looked like another Jordan -- Michael Jordan -- on a wild, acrobatic layup with under three minutes left in regulation, and JP's first three playoff games compare to MJ's.

Poole, along with backcourt mates Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, all scored at least 25 points on 50 percent shooting Thursday night, becoming the third trio of Warriors players to do that in a playoff game.

On a team with Curry and Thompson, Poole has become one of the go-to options for the Warriors and appears to be up to the task.
