Jordan Poole hilariously threw his mouthguard in celebration after Steph Curry’s ejection for doing the same

Steph Curry has been ejected for throwing his mouthguard before, but this time, Jordan Poole had to get in on the act (in a funny way, I promise!).

Late in what would be a Golden State Warriors 122-120 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Curry clearly wanted the ball and Jordan Poole didn’t give it to him. You can see from video below that Curry clapped in frustration before slinging his mouthpiece. That led to an ejection.

This would be something negative to focus on the morning after — how Curry’s frustration with Poole maybe runs deeper, the Dubs are in trouble etc etc. But nope! Because Poole nailed a game-winning layup to take down the contending Grizzlies.

And when Poole saw Curry in the tunnel, he responded perfectly: By throwing his own mouthguard.
