The Golden State Warriors snapped a four-game losing streak in a huge way. The defending champions defeated a strong Portland Trail Blazers squad led by Kevin Durant's all-around brilliance that was perfectly complemented by Jordan Bell's low-key contributions.
After the game, Bell sat down with reporters and shared what the back-to-back Finals Most Valuable Player told, or warned, him about.

For all the personal attacks Kevin Durant has taken since his decision to join the Warriors, this is one of the moments that need equal attention and appreciation. Durant didn't reach this lofty status by accident and he is imparting some valuable knowledge to his young teammate in Jordan Bell.
Kevin Durant was in his element against the Blazers. With Stephen Curry, who figured in a car accident earlier in the day, and Draymond Green out, Durant came out to notch 32 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and three blocks on 13-of-21 shooting from the field.
This can be considered as a breakout game for Jordan Bell, who has seemingly fallen out of the rotation prior to this contest. In 20 minutes of playing time, Bell was Draymond-lite with five points, five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and two blocks.
The Warriors are expected to be extra cautious on Green's health, being so early in the season. Thus, giving Bell more opportunities in the near future so as long as he capitalizes.
