The Golden State Warriors have done it again! On Saturday night, the Warriors won their fifth consecutive game against the Portland Trail Blazers, thanks to a stellar performance from Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.
Thompson scored a team-high 28 points, while Curry added 24 points and seven assists. The two stars combined for 52 points, which was more than enough to carry the Warriors to victory. The Warriors also got a big boost from forward Draymond Green, who had a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
The Warriors’ win was impressive considering that they were without star forward Kevin Durant, who is out with a knee injury. Without Durant, the Warriors have had to rely on their other stars to carry the load. Thompson and Curry have been up to the task, as they have been playing at an elite level all season.
The Warriors’ win was also impressive because it came against a tough Portland team. The Trail Blazers have been one of the best teams in the Western Conference this season, and they gave the Warriors all they could handle. However, the Warriors were able to pull away in the fourth quarter thanks to their superior talent and depth.
The Warriors’ win was also significant because it extended their winning streak to five games. The streak is the longest of the season for the Warriors, and it is a sign that they are starting to hit their stride heading into the playoffs.
The Warriors will look to continue their winning streak when they take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. If Thompson and Curry can continue to play at a high level, the Warriors should be able to extend their winning streak to six games.
