Warriors move on with a sweep of the Trail Blazers

Halftime saw the Warriors ahead by 24 points; 72-48.

“He hadn’t been feeling well for a couple days, so I knew it would be a possibility”, Brown told reporters before the game.

Golden State jumped to a 14-0 lead in the game’s first three minutes. Game 4 against the Blazers has the lowest possible stakes a playoff game can have. Actually, what started then was a almost unprecedented destruction at the hands of Golden State. The Warriors have led most of the series and do not look to let up during this game 4.

Curry sat out the entire fourth quarter of a game the Warriors dominated from the opening tip.

Stephen Curry wasn’t trying to be a hero. Curry’s 3-point shot made it 28-5 six minutes in.

“We have so much depth, it’s kind of like a next-man up approach”, Klay Thompson said. David West scored 12 points off the bench. Durant injured his left calf in the third quarter of Sunday’s 121-109 Game 1 victory, but finished with 32 points and 10 rebounds.

Washington star John Wall scored a series-low 22 points and added 10 assists and five rebounds.

The Golden State Warriors are on the verge of sweeping their first round series in the 2017 NBA Playoffs, and they could advance to the conference semifinals without two of their most important pieces.

According to NBA.com, additional players who are also listed as questionable for Game 4 are forward Shaun Livingston (right index finger sprain) and other forward Matt Barnes (right ankle/foot sprain).

Acting head coach Mike Brown is an experienced hand, and he should be competent enough to guide the Warriors through the first round without incident.

Durant getting back to a hundred percent will be quite vital for Golden State’s postseason success.

Durant played only 20 minutes in his return to the lineup. They have a future center in Nurkic who took them over the top, but I think they need another ball-handler on the wing to get them going.

The Head coach of Warriors, Steve Kerr has absent in the Game 3 due to illness.

The Warriors did it under the direction of Brown, formerly the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers. The time off should allow Brown a chance to use practices to build on the foundation Kerr has created in Golden State and make his own personal imprint on it as well. The pain level was high. “We didn’t play almost as well as we needed to and they showed why they’re a championship team”.

“I think they’re better than they were previous year”, Stotts said. You know they’ll be playing hard tonight. They’re going to be there every year.

Damian Lillard had 34 points for Portland.
