Down by 23 in the second quarter, the Warriors made an incredible comeback and ended up routing the Trail Blazers.
Jordan Poole scored a game-high 29 points, while Klay Thompson tossed in 23 and Donte DiVincenzo added 21 as the Warriors outscored Portland 75-40 in the second half.
The Warriors are targeting sixth place because it would allow them to avoid the Play-in Tournament, in which one loss could send them home before the playoffs begin.Here are three observations from a win in which the Warriors wiped out a 23-point deficit:The great Warriors teams of yore were known for many things, one of which was using the third quarter to extinguish annoying deficits or, in case they had a lead, bury their opponent.
Golden State limited Portland to 29.2-percent shooting while outrebounding the Blazers 13-8 and forcing five turnovers, which led directly to seven points. Thompson, who scored seven first-half points on 1-of-10 shooting, recovered with 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting to join Poole in leading the offense and electrifying the building.
