"Steph Curry feinted right, he juked left, he spun one way, and then pivoted another. No matter what move or series of moves he made, Portland had no answer for the all-time great superstar on Friday night at Chase Center. Curry poured in 23 points in the first half en route to 38 points, making 9 of 17 3-pointers and torching a Blazers defense that tried to guard the cat-quick 6-foot-3 ballhandler with a series of taller forwards."
"The Warriors dropped back to .500 with a 9-9 record. It was Golden State's first home loss of the season. The Warriors played their first game since returning from a grueling six-game road trip that saw the team go 3-3. Facing them was a Blazers team missing most of its guards. Coaching Portland was Tiago Splitter, who is the acting head coach as Chauncey Billups is currently embroiled in a gambling scandal."
Steph Curry scored 38 points, including nine of 17 3-pointers, and poured in 23 first-half points while repeatedly beating taller defenders. Golden State mounted a late comeback, but Portland held on for a 127-123 victory, handing the Warriors their first home loss and dropping them to 9-9. Brandin Podziemski added 20 and Moses Moody scored 10 for Golden State, while Draymond Green had 11 points and eight assists. Deni Avdija ran point for Portland, finishing with 26 points and 14 assists. Tiago Splitter served as acting coach amid Chauncey Billups’ absence.
