What you need to know about the Trail Blazers
The Trail Blazers’ recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their sixth straight loss. They fell 131-120 to the Dallas Mavericks. Portland’s loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of Anfernee Simons, who scored 33 points along with eight rebounds and six assists, and Jerami Grant, who scored 27 points along with five rebounds.
Portland was ultimately undone by a 7-for-32 shooting night from the 3-point line. The Blazers rank 28th in the NBA from beyond the arc this season, shooting just 34.1% from distance. Golden State takes and makes the fourth-most 3s in the NBA this season.
What you need to know about the Warriors
Meanwhile, the Warriors finally caught a break after three consecutive losses. They snuck past the Brooklyn Nets with a 124-120 victory on Saturday. Stephen Curry was the offensive standout of the game as he went 6-for-8 from beyond the arc en route to 37 points.
Klay Thompson also scored 24 points in the victory, while Brandin Podziemski had 19 points. The Warriors went 17-for-32 from the 3-point line in the victory and it was the first time in six games that they shot better than 40% from deep as a team.
