Following an ice-cold shooting start, the Golden State Warriors looked to be in trouble early against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night. Yet, a push from Jordan Poole fueled a comeback for the Warriors in Orlando.

Poole tallied 12 of his game-high 26 points in the third quarter alone to set the Warriors up with a nine-point lead over the Magic heading into the final frame.

Behind Poole, the Warriors looked to be on their way to snapping their two-game losing streak with a much-needed win in Orlando. However, Golden State’s late offensive struggles snuck up on Tuesday night.

In the fourth quarter, the Magic shot 64.7% from the field on the way to scoring 29 points. While the Magic’s offense caught fire, the Warriors went quiet. In the last 12 minutes, Poole, Andrew Wiggins and Otto Porter Jr. were the only members of the Warriors to record a bucket.

Along with cold shooting and seven turnovers in the fourth quarter, the Warriors couldn’t avoid the critical mistake. Trailing by one point, Klay Thompson fouled Franz Wagner on a 3-point attempt with one second left on the shot clock. The rookie drilled all three free throws to give the Magic a four-point advantage with only seconds remaining.

Following an ugly fourth quarter, the Warriors dropped the contest to the Magic, 94-90.

After the Warriors’ third consecutive loss, the NBA community on Twitter weighed in with a flurry of different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Tuesday night.
