The Warriors finished the game on a 21-7 run and avoided what could’ve been a deflating loss with just three days left in the regular season.

Slow and sloppy for three quarters, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors finally came to life in the fourth quarter on Thursday night.
Curry’s heroics on Thursday also ensured the “Road Warriors” finished their away portion of the regular season schedule with a remarkable 25-16 record on the road, including 17 wins in their last 21 games away from Chase Center. The first quarter was all about Jackson-Davis, as the rookie big man was a stat-stuffer at both ends of the floor, clogging the paint and making things difficult for Portland to get inside. But on offense, the Warriors couldn’t find a rhythm.
After a tightly contested second quarter, the Warriors shot the ball well enough to get into halftime with a 49-46 lead, despite having 15 fewer field goal attempts while getting dominated by Portland in offensive rebounds. At one point, Curry, Looney and Podziemski seemed to be playing three against five. When Curry couldn’t get loose on the perimeter, he’d feed Podziemski, who was more eager to drive and look for space than shoot the rock himself. He drove inside, turned around and fired the ball right back out to Curry, who knocked down a 3-pointer.
