ASSOCIATED PRESSThe Golden State Warriors’ formula for beating Portland Trail Blazers has been simple enough: focus their defense on Damian Lillard, running multiple defensive players at him to force him into a tough shot, or get him to pass to a teammate. The Warriors have come with a gameplan that has forced Lillard into tough choices. Already covered at times by a superb one-on-one defender in Klay Thompson, Lillard has faced a second player running at him. Lillard finished with 19 points and shot 5 for 18 from the field, and 3 for 9 on 3-pointers. Curry continues to get better looks, and he made 6 of 16 3-point attempts Saturday and finished with 36 points.
