Dame’s 39 not enough for Blazers to steal the victory in Golden State

Another hot start for Portland may have led Blazers fans to some false hope.

Coupled with Golden State missing three of their starters, Portland fans wouldn’t have felt too foolish if they let themselves believe that Dame was going to pull a victory from the jaws of defeat at the start of another five-game road trip.

Alas, it was not to be.

The Blazers started out looking confident, matching the Warriors shot-for-shot and playing active team defense. CJ McCollum even blocked Kevin Durant from behind, followed shortly after by Evan Turner intercepting a lazy pass for a fast break.
