Don’t let your guard down in the third quarter.
I’ve never seen an actual NBA scouting report, but I have to believe that every team’s scouting report on the Warriors must include that line. I can say with certainty it’s imprinted on the brains of everyone within the Portland Trailblazers organization — and after last night, everyone in the Raptors organization is intimately familiar with it as well.
Bolstered by an 18-0 run to start the third, the Warriors held off the Raptors last night, got the split that every road team wants in Games 1-2, and have given this series some juice as it heads West.
