After dropping four of their last five games before the All-Star break, the Golden State Warriors started the stretch run on a positive note with a blowout victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
The newly crowned All-Star Game Most Valuable Player helped fuel Golden State’s dominant win over the Trail Blazers with a crafty double-double.
Although he didn’t make it rain with 16 3-pointers, Steph Curry picked up where he left at the All-Star game with an impressive performance on Thursday to start the post-break run. The 33-year-old point guard notched 18 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field with a season-high 14 assists and five boards in only 27 minutes. As the Warriors cruised to a strong lead over the Blazers, Curry was on the bench for the entire fourth quarter.
