The NBA season has been suspended for three weeks. Yet, it’s been even longer since Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson suited up as a unit.
Since dropping the 2019 NBA Finals to the Toronto Raptors, injuries have limited Curry, Thompson and Green’s time on the court together.
With the NBA season on hold, Warriors Wire is looking back into signature performances from Curry, Green and Thompson. On April 3, 2016, the Golden State Warriors’ core of All-Stars were clicking on all cylinders.
April 3, 2016
With only five games left in the season, the Warriors were closing in on NBA record for most wins in the regular season. While Golden State was chasing history, the Portland Trail Blazers were fighting for playoff position.
In his hometown arena, Damian Lillard dropped 38 points — his third-highest scoring total of the 2015-16 season. However, it wasn’t enough against the Warriors.
Curry matched Lillard with 39 points on 13-of-21 shooting from the field. The reigning Most Valuable Player nailed nine 3-pointers in Golden State’s victory over the Trail Blazers.
While Curry produced an electric night from beyond the arc, Green filled the rest of the stat sheet. The Michigan State product recorded his 13th triple-double of the season with 22 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, three blocks and two steals.
With Thompson’s 21 points, Golden State’s trio tallied 82 of the Warriors 136 points.
