On Friday night, Stephen Curry and his in-form Golden State Warriors team hosted a Damian Lillard-led Portland Trail Blazers team at the Chase Center. Entering the game with 5 straight wins, it was Steve Kerr’s boys who were in the driving seat for the majority of the game. A contest that witnessed only 5 lead changes and 6 ties, ended with GSW grabbing a huge 118-1103 win, improving to a six-game winning streak.
5 players from the Trail Blazers squad recorded double-digit points. However, it was Curry who recorded 32 points, as many as the dynamic duo of Dame and CJ, along with 8 assists, and 7 rebounds on 48% FG and 40% 3PT FG.
