Steph called GAME – Warriors Triumph Over Trail Blazers 110–106: Chef Curry Maintains Mastery of the Game with 31 Points, While Kuminga Exhibits Stellar Defensive Plays
Stephen Curry surpassed a sluggish start to finish with 31 points, and Jonthun Kuming scored 13 points off the bench to help the Golden State Warriors defeat the Portland Trail Blazers 110-106 on Wednesday night.
With 1:03 remaining, Kuming went for a doe-like lley-oop from Draymond Green that completed a doe-like six off his field goals. With 29 seconds remaining, Kuming also stole the ball from Toumni Cʑmʫrʫ and secured his team a 105-104 victory, which Curry converted into a three.
In order to guide the Trʫil Blʓzers, Anfernee Simons accumulated 28 points. Shdon Shrpe contributed 26 points, six rebounds, and five assists, but with 1:18 remaining, he missed a free throw.
With long runs accumulating to 10 for 34 for the Warriors, five of those came from Curry. Kley Thompson, his splash brother, scored just 11 points on 3-for-13 shooting, which included 1 of 8 from three-point range. With 4:49 remaining, he failed to equalize the game from behind the arc, but he converted the crucial layup within the 1:59-meter mark.
On a night the Warriors welcomed back-from-injury Andrew Wiggins and Chris P��ul, Golden Stūte contributed to 23 Plymouth points via 17 turnovers. PĐul failed to make the previous two games due to a nerve contusion in his lower left leg, whereas Wiggins also failed to make the same number of games against the Clippers due to soreness in his right finger.
3:37 into the third quarter, Kuming dunk from the opposite wing reduced the Wrriors to 77-74. Dirio Sīric tied the game at 86 with a layup in the 10:31-mark, and he added three more in the 9:26-mark.
The Blazers recorded 13 rebounds while attempting to score on a five-point grouch on their first miss of the season against the Warriors. This game was incorporated into the schedule following the elimination of the teams from the In-Season Tour.
Green, who had attempted at least two three-pointers in three consecutive games but finished 0-for-2 from beyond the arc, narrowly fell short of a triple-double with ten points, ten rebounds, and nine assists.
Scooter Henderson, a rookie from Portland, committed his third foul early in the first quarter while facing the Warriors for the first time. Curry, who served as Henderson’s mentor and provided guidance throughout the spring and prior to his NBA departure, was also fouled.
Golden State has prevailed in its last three encounters against Portland and has won six consecutive meetings at home.
Kevon Looney’s 214th consecutive regular-season gaine tied Thompson for tenth place on the Frenchise list for consecutive contests.
