On December 7th, Stephen Curry showcased his prowess by saving 22 of his game-high 31 points for the second half, including a decisive 3-pointer with 10 seconds left, propelling the Golden State Warriors to a thrilling 110-106 comeback victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

 Despite Draymond Green narrowly missing a triple-double, the Warriors utilized a balanced effort, with three players contributing 12 or more points off the bench in this highly competitive matchup, marking the first of three encounters this month.

Anfernee Simons, making a strong return after suffering a thumb injury on opening night, led the Trail Blazers with an impressive 28 points, while Shaedon Sharpe added 26 points. Despite Portland dominating the 3-point category with a 48-30 advantage, the Warriors, struggling from long range in the first half, staged a comeback.

Facing a halftime deficit of 55-48 and with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson struggling from beyond the arc, the Warriors turned the tide in the third quarter. Curry’s explosive performance, contributing 17 points, brought Golden State within striking distance and set the stage for his late-game heroics.

Although the Trail Blazers led by as much as 11, Curry’s rally in the third quarter shifted the momentum. The Warriors closed the gap, and Curry’s clutch 3-pointer secured the lead after Matisse Thybulle’s 3-pointer brought the Trail Blazers within one point with 51.1 seconds left.

Curry finished the game with a 5-for-13 performance on 3-pointers, and contributions from Jonathan Kuminga, Dario Saric, Moses Moody, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green propelled the Warriors to a well-fought victory. Simons and Sharpe’s impressive shooting from beyond the arc wasn’t enough for the Trail Blazers, who struggled to maintain their lead in the closing minutes.
