The Portland Trailblazers still in the hunt for #4 overall in the West behind the Red Nation Rockets come up big at home when they needed to. The Blazers needed all hands on deck as they were hit by a huge night from the "Splash Brothers" in particular Steph Curry.

In a game of nip and tuck with no lead bigger than eleven points all night long the game came down to an extra Frame as they were knotted 105-105 on a Money Ball by Warriors Draymond Green with 3.95 left in regulation. Wes Matthews Jr missed a potential game-winner at the end to send the game into extras.

In the Extra Frame Klay Thompson, and Andre Iguodala, and Curry did all the scoring for the G.S.W.. After an L-Train "J" that left the score 118-117 Blazers the Warriors Curry missed on the ensuing possession as Damian Lillard iced the game for the Blazers but not after Iggy had a wide-open Money Ball for the potential game-winner that missed.

Curry goes for a game-high 47 points on 16 of 29 shooting and 7 of 14 from the Arc. Klay-T added 25 points with six Money balls as they combined to go 13 of 24 from the Arc. LaMarcus Aldridge led Rip City with 26 points and seven boards. Matthews added 24 points with Nicolas Batum adding a Dozen Oranges to go with 18 points and five helpers.

Blazers 1/2 game back of the Rockets at 53-28 with the Warriors 1/2 game up on the #7 Mavs as that 6th seed will get the Clippers in round 1.
