But some unselfish ball from Poole messed up the Nuggets’ game plan and gained some “oohs” and “aahs” from the crowd at Chase Center.
As Poole drove to the basket and got stuck in the paint under the basket, he dished out an incredible behind-the-back pass to Nemanja Bjelica who cut to the basket for the easy layup.
About five minutes later, Poole continued to show off assist game.
A fast-moving JP delivered another behind-the-back pass mid-air to Klay Thompson for two that got fans in San Francisco on their feet.
