Eight months after a Western Conference Finals showdown, the Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers met in the Pacific Northwest on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The teams looked just a little bit different. Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala were gone for the Warriors, as was surprising almost-hero Meyers Leonard, and Splash Brother Brother Seth Curry for the Blazers. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green were injured on one side; CJ McCollum, Rodney Hood, and Zach Collins on the other side, not to mention the still-sidelined Jusuf Nurkic.
