NBA Playoffs: Blazers Blow Another Double-Digit Halftime Lead, Find Themselves Down 3-0

At Portland, Oregon:

Stephen Curry scored 36 points while Draymond Green produced a triple-double (20 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists) as the Golden State Warriors, after trailing by as many as 18 points in the second quarter (and 13 at halftime), outscored the Portland Trail Blazers 57-33 in the second half en route to a 110-99 Saturday game-three road victory and an NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals three-games-to-none series lead.

Klay Thompson added 19 points to the Warriors' coffers.

C.J. McCollum paced the Blazers with 23 points while Damian Lillard added 19; the Blazers missed 13 free throws.

The Warriors can advance to their fifth consecutive NBA Finals with a game-four victory in Portland on Monday night.

No team has ever come back from a three-games-to-none deficit to win a best-of-seven NBA Playoff series.
