What happened
Golden State closed its preseason with a 128-118 win over Portland on Friday, and Steve Kerr opened the finale with Charles Bassey instead of Gui Santos before Bassey left after eight minutes with an in-game issue.
Stephen Curry scored 20 points, Draymond Green posted 7 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, and Brandin Podziemski and Yaxel Lendeborg added 17 apiece as the Warriors used the dress rehearsal to sort out roles.
Brandon Williams’ back soreness and Bassey’s brief first-half stint leave the opening-night rotation picture unsettled, even after Kerr’s final preseason test. Santos returned after his knee scare, but the starting group for Wednesday still appears unconfirmed.
