The game didn’t exactly flow like water, but the tide eventually turned the Warriors’ way. The matchup featured Golden State missing its first eight field goal attempts, Draymond Green’s first technical foul of the season, 33 combined turnovers and Portland going 8-for-34 from 3, and it ended in the Warriors coasting through the second half.

Stephen Curry had 17 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds before sitting for the fourth quarter, and the Golden State Warriors opened the season with a 139-104 rout of the Portland Trail Blazers.
