NBA Playoffs 2019: 3 Talking Points from Portland Trail Blazers vs Golden State Warriors, Game 2

#2 Disparity in the outside shooting in the two matches

Damian Lillard shot 5-12 from the 3PT line

The Portland Trail Blazers could not shoot properly in the first game of the series. That match turned into a blow out win for the Warriors. But the Blazers were totally spot on from outside in this match.

They were far better than the Warriors also in this match when it came to shooting. The Blazers shot 18-39 from the 3PT line while the Warriors shot only 9-29 from the 3PT line. It is very rare in today's NBA that a team having such advantage from the 3PT line ended up losing the contest.

Damian Lillard shot 5-12 from the 3PT line for his 23 points. CJ McCollum shot 3-7 from the 3PT line for his 22 points. Harkless also started the match nicely. He eventually provided good support with his 12 points.

The Blazers need to win game 3 at their home court to make this a series.
