Klay Thompson scored 37 points and Draymond Green recorded a triple - double as the Golden State Warriors defeated the visiting Portland Trail Blazers, 118 - 106, on Sunday at Oracle Arena to take a 10 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. Although reigning MVP Stephen Curry remained sidelined with an MCL sprain, the Warriors had no trouble starting the series strong. After outscoring the Blazers 37 - 17 in the first, little doubt remained that the Warriors would take the lead to start the series. A big 37 - point performance from shooting guard Klay Thompson helped pave the way for the Golden State victory. Thompson dropped in seven three - pointers en route to the big scoring night, while also notching five rebounds and five assists. Rebounding was a major focal point in the Warriors' game plan, as the team crashed the boards 55 times while holding Portland to just 40 rebounds on the night. 13 of these rebounds came from Draymond Green, who also notched an impressive 23 points, 11 assists, and two blocks. All in all it was an emphatic victory for the 73 - win Warriors. Portland, meanwhile, is fresh off a six - game defeat of the injury - riddled Clippers. After a surprisingly strong regular season, Portland managed to back it up with solid play to kick off the playoffs. Things went a different direction on Sunday, however, as team star Damian Lillard shot just 8 - for - 26 and the team was outscored by 20 in the first quarter. Shooting was also a struggle for big man Mason Plumlee, who had 13 rebounds and six assists but missed all seven of his field goal attempts on the night. Game 2 will once again see a Curry-less Warriors take on the Blazers at Oracle Arena.
