Draymond Green and the Warriors rejected the Blazers’ best effort in Game 1

The Portland Trail Blazers got 75 combined points from C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard, and it still wasn't nearly enough against a Golden State Warriors team that looked every bit the NBA title favorite. Warriors Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant nearly matched the potent Blazers duo, combining for 61 points, Draymond Green fell two steals shy of the first 5×5 in league playoff history (per Basketball Reference), and the Warriors pulled away in the fourth quarter to take Game 1 of the series, 121-109.
