The Warriors waltzed to a 116-94 victory over the Trail Blazers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 62 points and 12 three-pointers to deliver Golden State a win in front of the crowd at Oracle Arena. Along with strong offensive performances from their star-studded backcourt, the Warriors suffocated the Blazers’ offense. Coach Terry Stotts’ squad finished with 21 turnovers and connected on just seven of their 28 three-point attempts. Despite long stretches of less-than-ideal play, Portland managed to stay within striking distance, providing a glimmer of hope for the rest of the series.
