What happened

Golden State ended preseason Friday with a 128-118 win over Portland, and Stephen Curry played 26 minutes while setting preseason highs with 20 points and four rebounds plus five assists.

Draymond Green started at power forward and finished with 10 assists, eight rebounds and three steals, while Al Horford scored 15 points in 15 minutes and hit five threes, three of them set up by rookie Yaxel Lendeborg.

LINEUP CONTEXT

The finale suggests Horford can stretch the floor in bench lineups, while Green’s playmaking remains central if Golden State wants a more structured offense. The rotation around Lendeborg is still unsettled, so this game is more clue than confirmation.
