The Portland Trail Blazers played one good half against the Golden State Warriors on Monday evening. Against many of their recent opponents, a couple quarters of energetic play was enough to bring them charging from behind to victory. The Warriors are both deep and serious, though. They weren’t succumbing to Portland’s wiles. The near-tragic Blazers performance in the first half gave Golden State more than enough of a lead to hold onto as they fended off their opponents 130-119.
The loss drops Portland 10 games below .500 with only 16 remaining in their season.
