Durant leads Warriors in 135-90 rout of Blazers
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 34 points in another efficient performance from the floor, Stephen Curry added 19 points with five 3-pointers and the Golden State Warriors quickly ran away from the overmatched Portland Trail Blazers in a 135-90 win Saturday night.
Durant shot 11 for 13 with four 3s in his seventh 30-point game and also pulled down 11 rebounds in nearly 31 minutes. Klay Thompson scored 16 points, Draymond Green had 12 rebounds and 11 assists, and reserve Ian Clark added 23 points in a lopsided rematch of the Western Conference semifinals won in five games by Golden State.
Damian Lillard scored 20 points playing back home and Maurice Harkless had 17, but Portland looked a step or two behind all night and never could stay with the deep Warriors.
