SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jimmy Butler scored 16 points, capitalizing on Stephen Curry's sharp passing night that featured 11 assists, and the Golden State Warriors ran away from the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers for a 119-97 win on Tuesday night.
Curry scored seven points on 2-for-9 shooting and notched his second game of the season with 10 or more assists, the 148th of his career. Butler also had six rebounds and five assists.
The teams combined to have an NBA-record 21 different players make at least one 3-pointer, according to Elias.
De'Anthony Melton scored a season-best 23 points off the bench for his fifth game in the last six reaching double figures and fourth in a row — and his second 20-point performance. Gui Santos contributed a career-high four steals.
Shaedon Sharpe scored 19 points and Caleb Love 17 and seven assists for the Blazers, who had won all three previous matchups this season but were missing leading scorer Deni Avdija — and his 26.1 points per game — because of lower back soreness and started a pair of two-way players.
Portland lost a second straight after a defeat to New York on Sunday night that ended a five-game winning streak.
Golden State, coming off a 124-111 loss to the Hawks on Sunday night that snapped a three-game home winning streak, held a season-best 26-point halftime advantage.
The Warriors made 14 of 22 shots to begin the game — going 8 for 15 from deep — to build a 38-22 lead.
Moses Moody's 3-pointer at the 5:54 mark of the first quarter moved him past current Golden State general manager Mike Dunleavy for 12th place in franchise history for 3s with 364.
Trail Blazers: Host the Hawks on Thursday night.
Warriors: Host the Knicks on Thursday night.
