But on Tuesday nigh t, the Warriors - with some help from their opponent - added one of those records to their collection. Golden State routed the Blazers 119-97 at Chase Center, and when Quinten Post made his first 3-pointer of the night with 35 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, that set a new record for most players to make a 3-pointer in a single game with 21 according to Warriors director of statistical information Daryl Arata. .

SAN FRANCISCO -- Portland Trail Blazers reserve center Yang Hansen walked off the court on his own after a scary collision and head injury midway through the fourth quarter against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. Hansen scrambled for a loose ball under the Blazers' basket with 6:55 remaining and was trying to pass it out when Golden State's Will Richard made contact to the back of Hansen's head with his knee.

If it feels as if Golden State plays Portland every few weeks, there is a reason for that. Counting the preseason, Golden State will be facing the Trail Blazers for the eighth time in the past 12 months. when the teams square off in a game with a rare 8 p.m. start time. Though they have played three times already this regular season, figuring out how to beat the Blazers is something Golden State has yet to do.

SAN FRANCISCO Steph Curry flew around the court and buried improbable, high arcing 3-pointers. Jimmy Butler used his smarts and muscle to carve out space for tricky shots and deft passes. And every other Warrior did . not much else on Sunday evening at Chase Center. Curry scored 31 and Butler poured in 30, but De'Anthony Melton (10) was the only other Warrior in double-figures as the Hawks beat the home team 124-11.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Golden State Warriors are expected to be without Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green for their Friday night home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources told ESPN.

Butler wasn't initially listed on the injury report, but popped up on Friday with an illness.

But 2026? Oh, 2026 is special. It's a calendar year stuffed with so much narrative weight it's threatening to create a new fault line. It's the year of last chances and new eras. And star power: Boy, do we have it. Here is what you, the beleaguered, overcharged Bay Area sports fan, have to look forward to. The winter of our discontent The 49ers' annual January ulcer The 49ers are in the playoffs.

Golden State has a top 3 defense this season, and it is once again due to the defensive brilliance of Draymond Green, as well as just an overall well-designed defensive scheme. Jimmy Butler and Green are the focal points of Golden State's defense, but even the subpar defenders on the Warriors make up for their faults by being good team defenders, meaning they know what space to fill and when, and they know how to quickly get out of unfavorable defensive matchups.

The worst aspects of a wretched stretch of Warriors play were on full display in Phoenix on Thursday night. The turnovers, the stagnant possessions, the missed boxouts and slow defensive rotations: the usual suspects of the Warriors' losing skid were accounted for in the second half. And yet, somehow, thanks to more Dillon Brooks shenanigan's and clutch Curry and Butler shotmaking, the Warriors got to lose an 99-98 heartbreaker instead of being blown out for the team's third consecutive loss.

Perhaps Steve Kerr is trying to manifest a reality that doesn't exist. Because if the Warriors coach has said it once this season, he's said it a dozen times: He believes this group can be a top-tier defensive unit. He says it with conviction. He says it like it's a foregone conclusion, just waiting for the rest of us to catch up. I'm not buying what he's selling. And honestly, neither should you.

The Golden State Warriors have been waiting for this moment for half a decade, if not longer: Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are heading for a divorce. He is likely to be traded in the coming weeks or, at the very latest, this upcoming offseason. Folks, it's on. And the Dubs can't get him. Unless the Greek Freak proclaims that he wants to play for the Warriors and only the Warriors a demand that has not been made and isn't expected Golden State will have to watch its (okay, Joe Lacob's) dream of pairing Steph Curry with Giannis drift away.

Melton suffered a partially torn ACL early last season after a misstep against the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 11. He said he knew something was wrong at halftime of the game, but he played through it. After tests revealed the partial tear, Melton spent several weeks consulting with doctors before ultimately deciding on season-ending surgery. He had the procedure on Dec. 4, 2024. His season debut on Thursday night will be exactly one year after the surgery.
