Warriors grant veterans important rest in avoiding brutal Trail Blazers fate

The Golden State Warriors have avoided what would have been a brutal series sweep against the Portland Trail Blazers, claiming a blowout 119-97 win in the teams' fourth matchup of the season at Chase Center on Tuesday night.

In doing so the Warriors gifted their veteran stars important rest during the fourth-quarter, with Stephen Curry scoring just seven points on 2-of-9 shooting in his less than 25 minutes.
