On Friday night, Stephen Curry and his Golden State Warriors hosted CJ McCollum and the Portland Trail Blazers at the Chase Center. Even though the contest wasn’t as closely fought as GSW-POR encounters usually are, Chef Curry decided to give the 18,000+ attendees a performance they won’t forget.
Putting up 41 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals on an extremely efficient 56.5/50/80 shooting split in just 30 minutes, the 2-time MVP led the Warriors to win the bout 119-97. With Friday night’s win, GSW now ends their preseason campaign 5-0, entering the regular season on a winning note.
