This was the Warriors' second back-to-back game. After the game, coach Cole talked about whether the Warriors' defeat today was related to fatigue.
"Tonight was not about fatigue. It was about Portland, the system they built, their length, their athleticism and their style of play... I would be ashamed if I were sitting here blaming fatigue and our opponent just walked out and beat us.
The Trail Blazers were totally tonight Suppressed us. We couldn't make any plays. They were so good with the ball that they deserved it.
This city is going to love watching the Trail Blazers play because they play hard and they have the real character they've been through. Stotts, Lillard and C.J. (McCollum) have done a good job rebuilding the team after a long period of cooperation.
