The Golden State Warriors won their second straight game when they defeated the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday (Dec. 17.) Steve Kerr’s team overcame a rare tough shooting night from Steph Curry to secure the victory and help build some confidence and momentum within a locker room that has been dealing some serious criticism over the opening months of the season.
Next up on the Warriors’ schedule is a home game against the Boston Celtics, who they defeated en route to their 2022 NBA championship. A big question will be whether Kerr sticks with his new-look rotation or inserts Andrew Wiggins back into the starting lineup to help add some steel and versatility to the team’s wing defense.
Still, before we start looking ahead, it’s a good idea to look at who played well against the Trail Blazers. After all, those performances could have an impact on how the rotation looks on Tuesday. Here are the Warriors’ top three statistical performers from their win over Portland.
Klay Thompson
Statline: 28 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 11-of-16 FG, 5-of-10 3PT
Andrew Wiggins
Statline: 25 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 9-of-12 FG, 4-of-6 3PT
Brandin Podziemski
Statline: 10 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 4-of-8 FG, 0-of-2 3PT
