The Golden State Warriors have suffered their first loss of the season, having had their two-game winning streak snapped in a 139-119 blowout loss to the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center on Friday night.
While Jonathan Kuminga continued to impress with some highlight plays in another productive performance, the form of fellow youngster Brandin Podziemski continues to be a growing concern after a quiet display from the third-year guard.

After averaging 9.0 points on 30% 3-point shooting over back-to-back wins against the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, Podziemski lost his starting role on Friday as Steve Kerr started Quinten Post alongside Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Kuminga and Draymond Green.
