Steph Curry explodes for 23 pts in the 3rd quarter
Stephen Curry only played 29:30, but the Golden State Warriors only needed his explosive third quarter to put the Portland Trailblazers away.
Keep calm DubNation. Steph gonna Steph! The Warriors are starting to look like the juggernaut we expect them to be.
DRAYMOND GREEN: "It was a complete team effort. Everybody was swarming around, getting deflections, cutting off the lane to the rim. We did a lot of things well and I think it was all based on everybody just really flying around and helping each other."
"That was great for us to really come out and put that kind of game together on the defensive end, especially when our defense has been called out -- that there's no anchor and it's not the same and all that -- I think some opinions will change sooner than later. But until then, we'll just keep doing that. And when they change, we'll keep doing that still. It was fun to do that."
