Despite a decimated rotation, the long segments of Toumani Camara (10 points), Donovan Clingan (14 points, 15 rebounds) and Mathisse Thybulle (11 points) hinder the Warriors at the start of Mach (16-10). The entry of Buddy Hield (16 points) and its 3/5 to 3-point it takes to allow Golden State to finish the quarter on a 16-4 (26-20).
While Stephen Curry (14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists) temporarily joins the changing rooms and comes out with a big bandage on his right thumb, the Warriors chain. Their defense puts the Blazers under the nod, with only 17 points in the second period, and three new awarded shots of the Curry pair-Hield put the dubs at +13 at the break (50-37).
Steve Kerr's players then kill the match as soon as the locker room returns. Well launched by Moses Moody and Jimmy Butler (24 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 interceptions), they inflict a 17-5 in Portland to take 25 points ahead (67-42). Jabari Walker (19 points, 6 rebounds) and the Blazers then try to react but Golden State does not flank. Buddy Hield reached the 200-point shots mark for the 7th time in a career, and the Warriors spin towards a quiet victory.
What to remember
– More fear than harm to Stephen Curry? The star of the Warriors joined the locker room at the end of the first quarter time after taking a hit on his right thumb. Curry played three-quarters of the season with a painful thumb and he seems to wake up or aggravated his injury against the Blazers. The leader still came back into play. He finished with 14 points at 6/14 on shots. It remains to be seen how his thumb will react before Sunday's capital match against the Clippers.
– playing time for the French from Portland. For this penultimate match of the season and with many players on the side, Rayan Rupert and Sidy Cissoko played 24 and 23 minutes respectively. Rayan Rupert has highlighted, scoring 15 points at 5/10 on shots, while Sidy Cissoko showed all of his versatility with 3 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, but also 6 lost balloons. The two French people hope to stay on the side of Oregon next season.
-A match to avoid the play-in. After the defeat of Memphis in Denver and Minnesota's victory against Brooklyn, the Warriors are guaranteed to finish at least seventh from the Western Conference, synonymous with the ground in a possible play-in match against the grizzly ones. That said, Golden State has his destiny in his hands. If they beat the clippers on Sunday in the last game of the regular season, they will finish sixth. If they lose and Minnesota wins against jazz, which is more than likely, it will be the Wolves that will avoid the play-in. Above, the Lakers have insured third place and the Nuggets should remain fourth if they win in Houston on Sunday, with many Rockets at rest.
