Curry’s 48 and 12 Threes Can’t Save Warriors as Blazers Win 136-131 to Complete Season Sweep

Steve Kerr publicly accepted responsibility for Golden State's late-game issues.

Overview

  • Stephen Curry scored 48 points with 12 three-pointers, passing Michael Jordan for the most 40-point games after turning 30 (45).
  • Portland beat Golden State 136-131 for a 3-0 mark in the season series, improving to 10-16 as the Warriors fell to 13-14.
  • Jerami Grant and Shaedon Sharpe each had 35 points, and the Blazers shot 20-of-39 from three with key minutes from returning centers Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III.
  • Golden State committed 18 turnovers, including eight by Draymond Green, and surrendered 40 fourth-quarter points after leading by 10 early in the final period.
  • Kerr said, “I’m not doing my job well this year,” as ESPN noted the Warriors are 5-9 in clutch games and continue to shuffle starting lineups.
