the Trail Blazers season was ended in a night in which Leonard stole the show. His 25 first-half points were more points than he had ever scored in a single game in NBA. His 40 minutes were more than he played in the entire seven game series against the Nuggets. Leonard finished with a team-high 30 points. the Trail Blazers shot an efficient 61 percent from the floor in the first half, but began just 3-of-13 in the third quarter, allowing for Golden State to come back.
