The Golden State Warriors defeated the host Portland Trail Blazers, 132 - 125, in overtime Monday in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals to take a 3 - 1 series lead at Moda Center. Stephen Curry was upgraded to questionable heading into Game 4, and by game time, he was listed as the starting point guard. While it looked like the recently named MVP for a second consecutive year was a bit rusty, fast forward to the fourth quarter and overtime and Curry quickly reminded the world how terrifyingly dominant he could be. Curry stormed out to score the Warriors first 12 points in OT, and closed the door for the Warriors, on the road, on their way to a commanding series lead. The game featured a handful of lead changes in the fourth quarter, but up until that point, the Blazers set the pace and made Golden State play their game. Damian LIllard and C.J. McCollum were terrific in the backcourt, and kept staving off the Warriors constant knack at ripping off low double figure runs. Everything seemed to be going in the Blazers favor in the first half, especially after Shaun Livingston was ejected from the game after back - to - back technical fouls for arguing with the ref. The second half saw Draymond Green step up immensely on the defensive end, and once Curry got cooking, their was no looking back. Curry finished with 40 points, eight rebounds and nine assists on 16 - of - 32 shooting, and was held without a three - pointer on his first nine attempts. He did manage to flip the script on that front by burying 5 - of - 16 by the conclusion of the game. Green managed to once again round out the box score with an impressive 21 points, nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and seven blocks, while Klay Thompson added 23 points on 5 - of - 10 shooting from deep. LIllard contributed 36 points, six rebounds and 10 assists, while McCollum poured in 24 points, three boards and two assists. The Blazers point guard ignited Moda Center in the fourth quarter and kept the fans on their feet as they carried momentum to the overtime period. Al-Farouq Aminu was efficient on the wings, and scored 18 points, to go along with 13 rebounds. Game 5 will move back to Oracle Arena on Wednesday.
