Mirroring their effort on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Portland Trail Blazers battled the Golden State Warriors with everything they could muster tonight. The Blazers scored reasonably well in the paint, got mostly fine performances from Norman Powell and Nassir Little, and even played decent defense for three quarters. Without Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum on the floor, the Blazers couldn’t buy a three-pointer. Plus Golden State had too much talent and experience for Portland’s young players. The end result was a 104-94 win for the Warriors, not unexpected, but still not satisfying from Portland’s point of view.
Blazers Fight Hard Again, Can’t Top Warriors
