NBA Twitter reacts to Warriors’ comeback run in third quarter on way to win vs. Blazers

Riding a two-game winning streak, the Golden State Warriors started out ice cold on Tuesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Behind Damian Lillard and Jerami Grant, the Blazers cruised to a commanding lead over the Warriors on Tuesday night at Chase Center. 

As the Warriors looked to be headed towards a loss, the Blazers increased their lead to as much as 23 points. However, it wasn’t enough. After a vintage third-quarter run sparked a comeback, the Warriors never looked back. 

Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole combined for 24 points in the third quarter as the Warriors outscored the Trail Blazers 39-17. 

Following their emphatic third-quarter performance, the Warriors were able to complete the comeback and steal their third consecutive win, 123-105. 

Poole led the Warriors with 29 points on 10-of-24 shooting from the floor with six assists and five rebounds in 33 minutes. Thompson continued his strong run with 23 points on 8-of-21 shooting from the field with three made triples. 

Along with a highlight-reel slam dunk, Jonathan Kuminga added 16 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the floor in 25 minutes off the bench on Tuesday night. 

Following Golden State’s comeback win over Portland, the NBA community on Twitter exploded with different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Tuesday night.
