Portland often wins when their trio of Lillard, McCollum and Nurkic play well and fill up the stat sheet, while also coming up with crucial plays like the final 3-point shot by Lillard or the shot before that by McCollum over Green.

Today was no different as these three led their team to a victory over the Warriors. They held their nerves in overtime and made sure that they defended well to Kevin Durant and Steph Curry in the final minutes.

Lillard scored 21 points along with the winning shot, McCollum scored 24 points, and Nurkic dominated inside the paint and came up with 27 points.

In their next game, the Portland Trail Blazers will again face the Golden State Warriors, but this time in the Moda Center, where they would look to win again in front of their home crowd.
