Steph Curry had a double-double by the end of the first half as Golden State started the stretch run of its season with a 37-point win in Portland.
PORTLAND — Whatever was ailing the Warriors heading into the All-Star break, they made it clear Thursday night that they left those demons behind in the first half.
Even in the midst of blowing up their roster, the Blazers have maintained one of the NBA’s top offenses. Reeling off four straight wins before the All-Star break, Portland averaged 116.0 points per game. Payton got the start and made an immediate impact. After recording a career-best six steals in his last game, Payton started this one by picking the pocket of Portland star Anfernee Simons on the first possession of the game.The Blazers made eight of their first 10 shots from the field, but it took them another 29 attempts to hit their next eight.
Chef Curry was cooking with all of his ingredients, dishing out 14 assists — two shy of his career high — to overshadow his 18 points, which also tied for the team lead. He secured the double-double by halftime for only the fourth time of his career.
