Western Conference Finals 

Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals lands us in the City of Roses as the Portland Trailblazers were looking for some amazing grace themselves as they were trying to avoid going down 0 – 3 against the Golden State Warriors! Both teams came out of the gate pretty much tit for tat and after the conclusion of the 1^st frame, the Blazers led by two, but the 2^nd period, the Blazers was a thorn in the Warriors side as they erupted for 37 points to go up by as much as 18 as the home crowd gave them the energy they needed to take an 13 point lead into the half 66- 53.

his 3rd triple-double during
the 2019 playoffs

The home crowd that was raucous and provided a boost for the Blazers in the 1^st half however, suddenly had crickets in their pockets in the 2^nd because it was the Warriors who erupted in the 3^rd period and went on a 22 – 6 run behind the stellar, sensational and spectacular, Alliteration, I Love It, play of Draymond Green who finished with his seventh post season triple-double and the most in Warriors post-season history with 20 points, game highs of 13 rebounds and 12 assists and threw in a game high of 4 steals for good measure as the Warriors took the lead at the end of the 3^rd 82 – 79 as their wall of defense made sure it wasn’t Dame Time! The Blazers didn’t do themselves any favors at the free throw line as they missed 13 for a 60% conversion rate and Steph Curry scored at least 35 in five consecutive playoff games as he torched the Blazers with 36 points as the Warriors knock off the Blazers 110 – 99 to take a 3 – 0 series lead.

Iggy left the game with a lower
leg injury

For your In Game News, Warriors guard Andre Igoudala, who is averaging 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists a game during the playoffs, only played 17 minutes in the game as he experienced soreness in his left calf and will have an MRI later today and finally, the backcourt of the Warriors in Curry and Klay Thompson have outscored the Blazers backcourt in Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum by 55, 178 – 123. Ouch. And Paul Pierce said the backcourt was a wash. Yea…right.
