Golden State had five players finish in double figures, led by Steph Curry with 19 points. Moe Harkless led Portland with 15.
After scoring a combined 75 points in game one of the series, Portland’s Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined to score just 23 points in game two. They shot a combined 9-for-34 from the floor.
