BLAZERS @ WARRIORS GAME 2
(NBA) Portland vs. Golden State,
Point Spread: -7.50 | -110.00 Golden State (Home)
Result: Loss
I backed the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 1 of this series based on how scrappy the Warriors had looked so far in the postseason.

Well, Golden State showed just how good it can be in the series opener, and in particular it impressed defensively.

Portland's backcourt duo of CJ McCollum and Damien Lillard shot a combined 11-of-31 from the field for 36 points in the 116-94 loss. That can be compared to Warriors Steph Curry who went 9-of-15 from downtown and scored a total of 36 points by himself.

I think we'll see a blowout win for the Warriors who'll want to make the most of their homecourt advantage before the series shifts to Moda Center in Portland.

8* play on Golden State Warriors.
