Portland gave it their all in Game 3, leading at the half, but in the end they blew a 17-point lead in the third quarter and ended up with a crushing 119-113 loss. Portland's defense was a major reason, finishing #25 in the NBA in points allowed during the regular season and #26 at defending the three. Portland is 7-19-2 ATS in its last 28 Conference Quarterfinals games. The Warriors were dominant on offense and defense all year, ranked tops in field goal shooting defense, plus #1 at defending beyond the arc. Golden State matched a franchise record for fewest turnovers in a postseason game with seven on Saturday. The Warriors are on a 14-3-1 spread run, plus 22-7 ATS in their last 29 Conference Quarterfinals games. Golden State matches up well, 36-17 ATS against the Blazers, including 12-5 ATS at Portland. Play Golden State.
