"We love the way he's approached everything since training camp and expect more of that," Warriors guard Stephen Curry said.

In the second quarter, the Blazers shot a scorching 9 of 11 from 3-point range. Avdija capped off the incendiary 12 minutes by splashing his fourth trey of the half to give the Blazers a 69-56 halftime lead.

Golden State will aim to extend its win streak to three against a young but hungry Trail Blazers team. Portland is looking to rebound after dropping its season opener, 114–118, to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

During the summer of 2024, the Golden State Warriors were rumored to have interest in adding Lauri Markkanen to the roster. Markkanen would have provided size, shooting and rebounding, all areas that Golden State had struggled with in prior years.

The Golden State Warriors have won four championships during their current run with Steve Kerr as head coach, Stephen Curry the superstar and others including Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in co-starring roles.
