The Golden State Warriors blew open Game 2 of the NBA Finals with a 35-14 third quarter. That included a massive burst to end the quarter led by Steph Curry and Jordan Poole.

After nailing a deep jumper the possession before, Poole welcomed everyone to the ‘Pool Party’ with this splash from half court to beat the buzzer.

When the Warriors get rolling, it becomes an avalanche. Six seconds was more than enough time for Poole to get in range, make a move and extend the Warriors lead to 23 heading to the fourth.

With that make, Poole now has nine points off the bench on 3-4 shooting from deep. His third quarter flurry came as Golden State tries to take Game 2 and tie the NBA Finals at 1-1
