NBA Twitter reacts to Warriors improving to league-best 17-2 record with win vs. Trail Blazers, 118-103
Despite missing players like Andre Iguodala, Damion Lee, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, the Golden State Warriors secured their sixth consecutive win with a victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Following an explosive 16-2 run to end the first half, the Warriors surged to a 118-103 win against the Trail Blazers. All five of Golden State’s starters tallied double-figures in scoring.
Steph Curry led the Warriors with a game-high 32 points on 12-of-25 shooting from the field with eight assists and seven boards. Golden State’s MVP candidate drilled six triples on 15 attempts from beyond the arc.
Andrew Wiggins followed his teammates with another impressive performance, scoring 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting from the floor.
Led by Draymond Green, the Warriors’ defense didn’t allow an individual member of the Trail Blazers to reach 20 points. Anfernee Simons led the Trail Blazers with 19 points on 7-of-13 shooting in 29 minutes off the bench. With 16 points, the Warriors held Damian Lillard to his lowest-scoring performance in his last nine games.
After the Warriors improved to a league-best 17-2 record, the NBA community on Twitter chimed in with different reactions. Below is a look at what fans and analysts were saying about Golden State’s performance on Friday night.

More and more often Jordan Poole is finding the right pass. He and Steph are developing some serious chemistry. pic.twitter.com/IJSvH3nTkX

Draymond just looks so fresh and energized right now, and pretty much the whole season so far

Warriors just playing really high level basketball right now dawg idk what to tell you

You can see that now Jordan Poole is playing under control and less chaotic, the game is slowing down for him and his court vision/playmaking is getting better

Steph is playing like the MVP, Draymond is motivated and looks great — but the Warriors have a roster full of guys who play hard. The camaraderie that was present in the preseason grows a little bit more each game.

Warriors are legit, but Portland is making it so easy for them.

Warriors are up to 17 assists, and once again are playing championship defense.
Still, I can't get over Portland bringing this core back.
