Stat line: 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists on 43.75 % shooting

Quinn Cook has not been great in the last four games and the Warriors took four straight losses. However, he had himself a memorable night against the Blazers and scored 19 points on 7-for-16 shooting, including a sizzling 5-for-8 from downtown.

With the Trail Blazers taking the early 15-14 lead, Cook knocked down a three-pointer off an assist by Kevin Durant, to give the Warriors a two-point lead in the first quarter. The Warriors then went on a good run and in the second quarter, Cook connected another three-pointer to extend the lead to 16 points.

In the fourth quarter, Cook had 10 points and helped the Warriors get the win. The four-game skid finally ended. With Curry yet to return back, the dubs need Cook to show up the way he did in this game.
