NBA Playoffs 2019: 3 Talking Points from Golden State Warriors vs Portland Trail Blazers, Game 4

#2 The Warriors supporting cast rising to the occasion

The Warriors are playing their best basketball of the season

The Warriors were three starters down in this match. Durant, Cousins and Iguodala all may return before the start of the NBA finals but the Warriors supporting cast made sure that they were not missed in this close-out match.

Kevon Looney has been sensational for the Warriors. He finished the match with 12 points and 14 rebounds. He totally dominated against the smaller lineup of the Blazers. Alfonzo McKinnie was inserted into the starting lineup in the absence of Iguodala and he added 12 points for the Warriors, including a crucial putback on the offensive glass in the overtime period.

The Warriors All-Stars Draymond Green and Klay Thompson have been sensational since Durant's injury. Green tallied another triple-double and finished with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists.

Klay Thompson added 17 points and was great on the defensive end as well. The Warriors were superb on the boards and had a 56-38 advantage which is an indication of how badly they wanted to close-out in this game.
