Portland played their best 36 minutes of the post-season but the game runs 48.
The Portland Trail Blazers fell to the Golden State Warriors 110-99 in the second game of their Western Conference playoff series tonight. The outcome was less of a surprise than the fact that the Blazers led through three quarters of the game. Portland accumulated a sparkling 18-point advantage only to watch the Warriors march through the fourth quarter like a whirlwind through a feather factory. They outscored the Blazers by an amazing 34-12 margin, taking both the game and a 2-0 series lead in convincing fashion.
