Photos: Curry and Leonard have unexpected scoring duel in Game 4

Unexpected heroes emerge in the NBA playoffs.

While everyone expects stars such as Golden State’s Stephen Curry to perform, few expected a big game from Portland’s Meyers Leonard. The center who was recently inserted into the starting lineup played well in Game 3, but in Game 4, he exploded for 30 on 12 of 16 from the field. Stephen Curry was his reliable self scoring 37 points.

The two had an unexpected scoring duel through the first half. Despite Leonard’s performance, the Warriors were able to power through for the sweep of the Trail Blazers in overtime, winning 119-117.
