Klay Thompson tied Curry for team-high scoring honors with 18
points and Jonathan Kuminga came off the bench for 17 more as
the Warriors redirected themselves after closing the first half
with four losses in their last five games.
Anfernee Simons poured in a game-high 24 points for the Trail
Blazers, who went into the break on a four-game winning streak.
Recording 36 assists on 45 field goals and making more than half
their field goal attempts, the Warriors rallied from a 10-point,
first-quarter deficit to take the lead for good in the second
minute of the second period.
In completing a 3-0 season-series sweep, Golden State's largest
lead came at the end of the 37-point win.
Coming off an All-Star Game performance in which he made a
record 16 3-pointers, Curry went 2-for-7 from beyond the arc
against the Trail Blazers and didn't even lead his own team in
3-pointers. That honor went to Thompson, who buried 4 of 7.
Curry's 14 assists equaled his most since recording 15 in a loss
to the Minnesota Timberwolves in April 2016.
Kuminga was the game's leading rebounder with eight.
Jordan Poole chipped in with 15 points, while Andrew Wiggins,
Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. added 10 apiece
for the Warriors, whose point total was their second-highest of
the season behind a 138-point explosion in January at Chicago.
Looney made five of his six shots, helping Golden State finish
at 51.1 percent. The Trail Blazers connected on 39.7 percent.
Simons' 24-point output came on the heels of three consecutive
30-point outings. He played just under 29 minutes in the
blowout, five fewer than he played in any game in his 30-point
run.
Justise Winslow had 14 points, while Josh Hart and Brandon
Williams added 12 apiece for the Trail Blazers, who had averaged
116.0 points during their winning streak.
Hart also logged team-highs in rebounds with six and assists
with four.
