The Golden State Warriors (69 - 8) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (41 - 37) 136 - 111 at Oracle Arena on Sunday. The Warriors bounced back after their first home loss since January of 2015 against the Boston Celtics on Friday, and made a statement in the process. Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard battled it out in the polarizing point guard matchup and the back - and - forth range of skills that each player flashed during the game made for a classic Western Conference showcase. Portland led at times during the second quarter, and even when Curry and company would go on a double figure runs, Lillard would find a way to bring his team within striking distance through the third quarter. Once the three point shooting challenge between Curry and Lillard cooled off going into the fourth quarter, the Warriors rallied behind Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to put away the game. The final score reflected Golden State’s tremendous shooting from behind the arc (60 percent), but downplays the Blazers who fought until the very end. Curry finished with 39 points to lead all scorers, and added six rebounds, seven assists and two steals on 13 - of - 21 shooting, which included nine treys. Draymond Green picked up his 13th triple - double, which is good for second in the league behind Russell Westbrook, and rounded out the box score with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and three blocks. Klay Thompson pitched in 21 points to round out the Warriors big three, while LeAndro Barbosa led the bench in scoring with 13 points, to go along with four rebounds and one assist. The Blazers had little trouble in the scoring department, but defensively they could not get the stops they needed, especially in the beginning of the fourth quarter. Damian Lillard dropped 38 points on 13 - of - 27 shooting, as he sliced through his matchup with Curry and was unafraid to show off his range as well. C.J. McCollum contributed 18 points, but was also overpowered by his matchup with Klay Thompson. Ed Davis was the standout bench player for Portland, as he filled the stat sheet with six points, eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 21 minutes. Both teams play on Tuesday, as the Warriors will host the Minnesota Timberwolves (25 - 52), while the Blazers will visit the Sacramento Kings (31 - 46).
