Saturday’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and the Portland Trail Blazers concluded with the Warriors extending their lead to 3-0 after a 110-99 victory.
In the first half, the Trail Blazers showed promise, especially with coach Terry Stotts’ decision to put Meyers Leonard into the game. However, their energy waned in the second half despite Leonard’s commendable performance. Despite Leonard’s best efforts, the Trail Blazers couldn’t maintain their initial momentum as they entered the latter part of the game.
Steph Curry led the charge for the Warriors with an impressive 36-point contribution. Draymond Green also made a significant impact with 20 points along with his presence in rebounds, assists, and steals. Green’s versatility on both offense and defense was crucial, particularly during the Warrior’s pivotal 22-6 run in the third quarter. While Green may not have displayed such dominance in the regular season games, he has risen to the occasion in the playoffs, showcasing his value as a key team player.
The upcoming fourth game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers promises to be an intriguing showdown following Golden State’s commanding performance.
The Golden State Warriors aim to secure a clean sweep in the Conference Finals as they face the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 4 tonight at 8pm ET on ESPN.
