The Portland Trail Blazers fell 127-118 to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, giving the injury-depleted ‘Dubs their first win in Chase Center, their shiny new arena across the bay from the old home.
Like it or not, this game will go down in the history books. Playing without virtually any of their key players, the Warriors displayed that was simply unmatched by the Blazers. Rookie Eric Paschall led the way, going off for a career-high 36 points and 13 rebounds. Damian Lillard led all scorers with 39 points, but got little help from his teammates along the way.
