No bench production costs Portland Trail Blazers’ chance against Warriors

Last night, the Portland Trail Blazers lost 115-105 against the Warriors. Rip City’s reserves combined for just 14 points, with none of the eight players scoring in double figures.

Meyers Leonard led the second unit with four points and six rebounds with a -17 plus−minus in 14 minutes. Seth Curry scored just three points on 1 of 5 shooting in 16 minutes for a -11 plus−minus, after having 11 points while going 3-for-5 from beyond the arc in Thursday’s 110-109 overtime win in Oakland.

The rest of the bench played worse.

Nik Stauskas had three points in 11 minutes, Wade Baldwin IV hit two free-throws in two minutes, and Evan Turner added just two points in 18 minutes, shooting 1-for-5 from the field and turning the ball over three times for a -17 plus−minus.
