Taylor made a triple-double, carrying Golden State to a stunning 95-85 victory over Portland. "I'd never tell my players this coming into the game, but I knew they were they better team and was just hoping to avoid getting blown out," said Golden State coach Perez Suarez. "And aside from Taylor, Portland was the better team out there and probably should have won. But Taylor was about as good as I've ever seen him, and we were able to hitch up and ride him to the win."

Portland coach Bob was impressed. "You certainly can't count on a single player to consistently steal wins for your team, but that's what Taylor did for them today. We just have to hope for a more human performance from him next time we meet."

Golden State was led by Taylor (18 points, 11 boards, 16 assists, 3 steals), Chapman (12 points, 10 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 3 blocks), Leonard (18 points, 7 boards, 1 assists, a steal). Portland was led by Smith (40 points, 9 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals), Patton (8 points, a steal, a block), Mcneil (13 points, a block).

Golden State jump to 12-40 and 7-18 at home with this win. They hold at #5 in the Pacific and remain at #15 overall in the Western Conference. Portland drop to 27-25. They remain at #4 in the Northwest and fall to #10 overall in the Western Conference.
