Draymond Green defended Jordan Poole’s decision to take a deep late-game three-pointer that could have tied Game 1 of the Lakers-Warriors semifinal series on Tuesday night.
With less than 10 seconds to play in the fourth quarter, the Lakers double teamed Stephen Curry near the right wing. Curry dished the ball to Green, who found a wide-open Poole well beyond the arc on the left wing. Instead of stepping closer to the three-point line or attempting to create a better scoring opportunity, Poole launched the three-pointer that bounced off the rim, leading to the Warriors’ 117–112 loss.

The 76ers stole Game 1 at TD Garden on Monday without Joel Embiid and now have an opportunity to take a 2–0 lead Tuesday night with their MVP back in the lineup.
The Celtics are favored, as it has been in all seven postseason games so far, though the East’s No. 2 seed has lost its last two games in front of the home crowd. The underdog spot served Philadelphia well in the series opener, though the spread is closer with Embiid, the league’s top scorer, expected to make his return.
