The Portland Trail Blazers walked into Game 3 of their NBA Playoffs series against the Golden State Warriors needing a win to keep hope alive after falling behind 0-2 in Oakland. In a mirror of Game 2, Portland built up a double-digit lead at the half, only to watch it melt away under the glare of Golden State’s defense. Portland defenders held up at the three-point arc, keeping shot attempts tight for Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, but the rest of the Warriors butchered the Blazers in transition and at the rim.
