Warriors F Durant available for Game 4 against the Blazers

But it’s still an adjustment, Stephen Curry said. He just wanted the win.

SB Nation reported that the five-time National Basketball Association champion player and one-time National Basketball Association champion coach is “expected to miss more than just Game 3” of the Warriors first round series with the Portland Trail Blazers. Three weeks after fracturing his right fibula, the Bosnian returned briefly in Game 3 against Golden State, only to be ruled out of Game 4 shortly thereafter.

He added, “I wish you a healthy recovery”. “Obviously we miss Steve but Mike did a tremendous job and he’s been there before, you could tell”. Much like the entire first-round series.

The 51-year-old coach was in obvious discomfort just before the team left for the two games at Portland’s Moda Center. If they can get off to a stronger start than they did this year, and keep that momentum going, they will be real contenders in the Western Conference.

Curry moved into a tie with Robert Horry for ninth place on the all-time list of 3-pointers in the postseason with 261.

The Blazers’ winningest starting lineup included Lillard, McCollum, Nurkic and forward Noah Vonleh and Maurice Harkless. “I understand that’s what it is”, Lillard said Monday night.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 30 points and nine rebounds for the Bucks.

The Warriors have now eliminated the Trail Blazers from the playoffs in each of the last two years. Durant’s dunk extended the lead to 22-3 and the rout was on. Crabbe’s 3-pointer and a free throw put Portland up 49-33.

Atlanta had seven players in double digits for points, including Paul Millsap (19) and Dennis Schroder (18). Draymond Green continued his excellent, versatile play by finishing with 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. It was reduced to posting unhappy emoji, expressing wry delight when Portland finally scored and meekly noting the how handsomely the arena was lit.

The former Chicago Bulls point guard missed 43 games last season because of back surgery complications and a spinal fluid leak. Kerr is not coaching the game due to illness, but is in the arena.

A day later, Warriors GM Bob Myers was scheduled to address the media, but Kerr showed up instead and said he wouldn’t be available for Game 4, either.

That’s just how locked in Golden State was.

Warriors: The previous time the Warriors swept a playoff series was in 2015 against New Orleans. Turner was handed an unsportsmanlike conduct technical.

Since the two teams have a good chance at meeting in their third-straight NBA Finals, LeBron’s comments are even more significant. Lillard has 15 playoff games with 25-plus, second-most in franchise history to Clyde Drexler with 29. Tonight the Dubs completed the 4 game sweep as they beat the Blazers 128-103.
