The Golden State Warriors traveled to the Crypto.com Arena to face the Los Angeles Lakers and the game surely did not disappoint. The Lakers took the win over the defending champs, as they managed to finally figure out a way for the new roster. The Lakers’ standout players were Malik Beasley and Austin Reaves. As for the Warriors, Klay Thompson, Ty Jerome, and Jordan Poole put up decent performances.
It will be shocking for fans to realize that LeBron James and Anthony Davis did not have the biggest impact on the game. King James and AD played 26 minutes each and could only make 13 and 12 points respectively. Their lack of game time shows how Darvin Ham didn’t hesitate to try out a new lineup during the game. Apart from the entertaining game, rapper Saweetie attracted plenty of eyeballs while sitting courtside.

Many took to Twitter to express their excitement about Saweetie’s appearance at the game, but some took a dig at Warriors star Jordan Poole for his performance on the night.
Fans believe Jordan Poole should have put up better numbers against the Lakers with Saweetie sitting courtside
Poole put up 16 points, 1 rebound, and 4 assists as the Lakers won the game 124-111. He was one of the best players on the Warriors roster in the scoring department but was having an off day when it came to playmaking. Poole doesn’t have a great reputation as a defender, but it is his shooting and chance-creating abilities that the Warriors need in Stephen Curry’s absence.
His performance on the night disappointed fans who believed he should have put up better numbers in front of Saweetie. A fan even wrote, “He only likes white women.” For those who don’t know, Poole made waves on social media after appearing to have balled out in front of young women during a GSW game. However, that was apparently not the case when Saweetie was in attendance.
He only likes white women anywah bro

Saweetie has known to be a Lakers fan, as the NBA world has witnessed her at games in the past. Fortunately for her, Poole could not have a better game than he did on the night, which ultimately worked out in the Lakers’ favor.
