The Golden State Warriors picked up right where they left off last season against the Blazers. After sweeping the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals last season, the Warriors embarrass the Blazers in their first meeting of the season.
This is a game where everybody expected the Trail Blazers to torch the 1-5 Warriors. With Whiteside back in the lineup, the Blazers should have been able to. Portland struggled to play defense and couldn’t get much production on offense from players not named Damian Lillard and Hassan Whiteside.
QUARTER 1
The Golden State Warriors got off to a hot start.
