What happened
Golden State finished its preseason Saturday with a 128-118 win over Portland, as Stephen Curry scored 20 points and Draymond Green added seven points, eight rebounds and 11 assists. The Warriors’ bench also outscored the Trail Blazers 61-47 in the finale.
Steve Kerr started Charles Bassey next to Green instead of the previously discussed lineup, and he still would not commit to next week’s opener in Los Angeles. Gui Santos also left briefly with a left-knee scare before returning before halftime and resuming the game.
Bassey’s start and Santos’ knee scare suggest Golden State may keep its opening-night frontcourt fluid. Kerr’s noncommittal stance means the final starter group and matchup-based rotation are still unresolved.
