Jordan Poole had Miami’s Kyle Lowry on an island in transition. In Poole’s mind, he was going to cook Lowry on the Heat’s FTX Arena floor. Poole hit Lowry with a nasty in-and-out dribble that sent him spiraling to the baseline. The third-year Warriors guard snatched the ball back, then drained a stepback three.

In high-energy minutes off the bench, Juan Toscano-Anderson dived to retrieve a loose ball, slashed through the paint and launched himself off the Chase Center floor, defying gravity and daring Suns center JaVale McGee to meet him at the rim.
