Melton was the game’s leading scorer, making nine of 14 shots in just over 18 minutes. Sharpe led Portland on 9-for-15 shooting. Clingan had the most rebounds for the Trail Blazers with nine, while Curry led both teams in assists.
How did the Warriors win with Curry scoring seven points?
Curry made only two of nine field-goal attempts, but his 11 assists kept Golden State Warriosrs’s offense moving. The Warriors recorded 34 assists on 42 made field goals, spreading their scoring well beyond their starting guard. Curry played 24 minutes and committed just one turnover.
Melton supplied the biggest scoring lift from the bench. He scored 23 points on 9-for-14 shooting and hit four three-pointers. Podziemski added 15 points with three made threes, while Moody scored 14 and made four. Together, those three players accounted for 11 of Golden State’s 23 three-pointers.
Butler gave the Warriors another steady option. He scored 16 points on five made shots from seven attempts, went 5-for-5 at the free-throw line, and added six rebounds and five assists. Santos contributed only six points, but his six assists and four steals show why his impact was larger than his scoring total suggests.
Golden State’s reserves scored 69 points, compared with 45 from Portland’s bench. That depth mattered in a game where Curry was more productive as a passer than a scorer.
Portland’s leading performers and missing players
Sharpe’s 19 points came efficiently inside the arc, but he made only one of five three-point attempts. Love contributed 17 points and seven assists, though he shot 5-for-16 overall and 2-for-9 from deep. Rupert added 13 points off the bench, making five of nine field-goal attempts.
Portland received useful rebounding from its frontcourt and reserves. Clingan collected nine rebounds, and Holiday and Williams had eight each. Williams also made all five of his shots for 11 points. Those contributions were not enough to offset the team’s shooting and ball-control problems.
The Trail Blazers were also without Deni Avdija, listed as out with lower-back soreness, and Jerami Grant, listed as out with left Achilles tendinitis. Their absences are important context for the box score, although the final margin cannot be attributed to missing player alone.
The team stats that decided the game
| Statistic | Trail Blazers | Warriors |
|---|---|---|
| Final score | 97 | 119 |
| Field-goal shooting | 36-for-83 (43.4%) | 42-for-89 (47.2%) |
| Three-point shooting | 14-for-47 (29.8%) | 23-for-57 (40.4%) |
| Assists | 20 | 34 |
| Turnovers | 22 | 14 |
| Steals | 7 | 16 |
The clearest difference was on the perimeter. Golden State made nine more three-pointers than Portland, a 27-point advantage from three-point shots alone. That exceeded the 22-point final margin. It does not mean every other part of the game was equal, but it shows how strongly outside shooting shaped the result.
Ball movement and turnovers widened the gap. Golden State had 14 more assists and eight fewer turnovers. The Warriors also recorded 16 steals to Portland’s seven. According to the scorer’s report, Portland’s 22 turnovers led to 29 Warriors points.
Golden State established control early. It led 38–24 after the first quarter and 67–41 at halftime. Portland scored 30 points in the third quarter, but the Warriors still led 95–71 entering the fourth. Golden State’s largest lead was 29, and Portland never led.
The box score therefore tells a more useful story than Curry’s seven points alone: Golden State won through shared scoring, strong three-point shooting, and far better protection of the ball. Melton supplied the game-high 23 points, Curry created opportunities for teammates, and Portland could not close the gap after its difficult first half.
