Lillard had 21 points, one rebound, and five assists on the night while shooting 7-of-20 from the field. Jusuf Nurkic practically had a field day, dropping 27 points with 12 rebounds and four assists while shooting 10-of-18 from the field.

For the Warriors, Stephen Curry had 29 points, five rebounds, and seven assists on the night while shooting 11-of-26 from the field. Kevin Durant had a triple-double, scoring 26 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 11 assists while shooting 11-of-23 from the field.

The largest problem for the Warriors was their inability to hit free throws as they missed nine on the evening. It didn't help that Curry uncharacteristically shot 6-of-15 from deep. The team as a whole only shot 29.5 percent from behind the arc. The shots simply were not going down for Golden State.

The Blazers caught the Warriors in a slump. The Blazers are now 20-16 on the season and sit fifth in the NBA's Western Conference while the Warriors are now 23-13.
