Klay Thompson scored 31 points on his birthday but it wasn't enough as the Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.
Here are three observations from a game in which the Warriors were undone by a scoreless five-minute stretch over the final six minutes of the game:Golden State’s relatively short stature in the frontcourt can be problematic at times, particularly when Kevon Looney gets into foul trouble.Looney picked up two fouls in the first two minutes and played only 12 minutes through the first three quarters. That surely was a factor in the Warriors being punished in the paint.
The Blazers owned the glass, outrebounding the Warriors 26-15 in the first half and 47-32 for the game. Points in the paint? Portland posted a 34-16 advantage in the first half and finished with a 66-42 margin.The metrics on this night provided a vivid illustration of the roster’s weakness inside. The next few hours should be interesting.Insofar as it was his 33rd birthday, Thompson likely had this game circled in his calendar from the moment the schedule was released. Poole could not have known he’d start and play 35 minutes.
Their combined 69 points – the backcourt’s second consecutive game producing “Splash Brothers” totals without Stephen Curry – represented the bulk of the Warriors’ offense.
