Two days after putting off the upset in Golden State, the Blazers couldn’t keep up with the Warriors in Portland, falling 115-105. Let’s get to some essentials.
- Another huge night for Dame. Lillard scored 40 on 23 shots, but it just wasn’t enough against the defending champs.
- It was an “arm’s length” night. The Warriors pulled ahead fairly early, and kept the lead around 10 points most of the evening. This was the prototypical “Blazers make runs, opponent makes key plays to keep control all night” game.
- Engagement Level: 10 Well, maybe 9, but still.
