Warriors vs. Trail Blazers Game 3 result: Curry, Draymond lead the Warriors to comeback win
After the Warriors defended home court and took a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals, the Trail Blazers needed a big response in Game 3 at home. They delivered one in the first half, but couldn't sustain the effort and were overwhelmed in the second half, as the Golden State Warriors secured a 110-99 win to go up 3-0 in the series.

Stellar third-quarter defense saved the day for Golden State. They held Portland to just 13 points over the 12 minutes to take the lead. They kept the lead by outscoring their opponent by eight points in a less-than-thrilling final quarter.
Curry led the Golden State Warriors with 36 points, while Draymond put together another postseason masterpiece with 20 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and four steals. For the Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum struggled once again, combining for 42 points on 38 shots.
Draymond was everywhere in this game, and it's no surprise that he was not only on the floor but instrumental in their big 22-6 run to close the third. His playmaking, in particular, was fantastic during that stretch, as he finished with six assists in the third quarter alone.
His ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor and in such a variety of ways is almost unparalleled in the last few games, and Golden State have needed every bit of it the last few games. Draymond finished with 20 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and four steals for his seventh postseason triple-double, which is more than everyone else in this history of the Golden State Warriors franchise combined.

The Portland Trail Blazers needed a big performance from Lillard and McCollum, and neither really delivered. CJ McCollum led the Trail Blazers with 23 points but he went just 2 of 10 from 3-point range and missed five free throws. Damian Lillard was 5 of 18 from the field and finished with 19 points.
Meyers Leonard was an unlikely hero for the Trail Blazers on Saturday, at least for the first half. He scored 16 points after receiving the last-minute start over Enes Kanter. Meyers Leonard had not scored more than nine points in any other game this postseason.
