The Portland Trail Blazers absolutely demolished the Golden State Warriors by 20 for their first win of the 2025-26 season, proving that this is no longer the rebuilding team that teams can look forward to playing on their schedule.
Golden State was playing the second half of a back-to-back after an overtime win over the Denver Nuggets. Still, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wanted to make it clear that Portland earned this victory, praising their culture and established identity that should have Blazers fans excited about their team's future outlook.
“Everybody deals with whatever comes your way, and there’s a lot of difficult moments to the schedule, whatever,” Kerr said after the blowout loss.
