Alec Burks broke a tie with a three-point play
with 6:37 remaining, and Paschall extended the lead to eight by
hitting his fourth 3-pointer less than 90 seconds later.
The win capped a six-day, four-game homestand during which the
Warriors had lost to Phoenix, San Antonio and Charlotte to fall
to 0-4 at home before finally getting Monday's win.
Portland took just its second loss in five road games.
Neither team led by more than seven points until the final 5:10
of the tightly contested game, a rematch of last season's
Western Conference finals which the Warriors swept in four
games.
After Hassan Whiteside drew the Trail Blazers even at 99-all on
a tip-in with 7:01 to play, the Warriors took charge down the
stretch after Burks' go-ahead, three-point play.
Ky Bowman then dropped in a short hoop, Paschall bombed in his
3-pointer, Marquese Chriss added a layup and Paschall hit two
free throws in a 12-point run that created a 111-99 advantage
with 4:03 to play.
Portland twice got as close as six in the final 1:05, but
Paschall, the NBA's leading scorer among 2019 second-round
picks, combined with Jordan Poole and Damion Lee to make 10
consecutive free throws to kill the threat.
Paschall shot 11-for-19 from the field and connected on all 10
of his foul shots for the injury-depleted Warriors, who suited
up just nine guys and saw all nine score at least five points.
Paschall, the former Villanova star, also had a game-high 13
rebounds.
Bowman finished with 19 points, Poole and Lee 16 apiece, Burks
13, and Willie Cauley-Stein 10 in a balanced Golden State
attack.
Damian Lillard, an Oakland native playing his first game in San
Francisco, paced the Trail Blazers with 39 points, including
five 3-pointers.
Whiteside had 22 points and 11 rebounds for Portland, while CJ
McCollum and Anfernee Simons added 14 points each and Hezonja
had 11.
The Warriors shot 33-for-36 from the foul line while the
visitors were 11-for-14 on free throws.
