PORTLAND — Oakland native Damien Lillard scored a career-high 51 points and finished with seven assists leading the Blazers to their fourth straight win with a 137-105 over the Golden State Warriors Friday night in both teams’ first game after the All-Star break.

Lillard was absolutely tremendous, shooting 18-of-28 from the floor, including 9-of-12 from three-point range. Lillard also added six steals.

C.J. McCollum, Lillard’s backcourt mate, scored 21 points on 9-of-18 shooting and knocked down 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. McCollum finished with seven assists

Mason Plumlee and Gerald Henderson each scored 12 points, while Maurice Harkless chipped in 11 points off the bench.

Reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry led all Warriors with 31 points on 12-of-23 shooting. Curry drilled 7-of-11 of his 3s, but the Warriors looked a bit rusty coming back from nine days off.

After having just six turnovers in the first half, Golden State committed 13 turnovers in the third quarter. Portland (28-27), took advantage of the sloppy play from Golden State and built a 104-79 midway through the third quarter.

Draymond Green had a near triple-double night, finishing with 14 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists.

Newly crowned three-point shooting champ from All-Star Weekend Klay Thompson scored 23 points, but Golden State (48-5) just couldn’t get the winning mojo tonight leading Portland to snapping the Warriors’ 11-game winning streak.

Golden State must quickly rebound as they will travel to Los Angeles to take on their bitter rival in the Clippers before a national television audience Saturday night at Staples Center.
