PORTLAND, Ore.(AP) \u2014 Jerami Grant and Shaedon Sharpe scored 35 points apiece and the Portland Trail Blazers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 136-131 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night. <\/p>\n
Stephen Curry had 48 points for the Warriors. He hit a season-high 12 3-pointers, the NBA-leading 28th time he’s had 10 or more in a game. <\/p>\n
In a back-and-fourth final quarter, Toumani Camara’s alley oop dunk from Donovan Clingan tied it or the Blazers at 121, but Curry answered with a 3-pointer and a layup. <\/p>\n
Portland went up 127-126 but again Curry came back with a 3. Grant’s basket and free throw gave Portland a one-point lead and Deni Avdija added a pair of free throws with 19.9 seconds left to stretch it to 132-129. <\/p>\n
Moses Moody dunked to get the Warriors to 134-131 with 13.2 seconds to go but Grant’s free throws pushed the lead to 136-131. Grant finished with a season-high seven 3-pointers. <\/p>\n
Curry was playing in his second game after missing five straight with a left quadriceps contusion. He scored 39 points in Golden State’s 127-120 loss at home to Minnesota on Friday night. <\/p>\n
Draymond Green started for Golden State after missing the game against the Timberwolves for personal reasons. He missed two games before that with a right foot sprain. <\/p>\n
Portland led by 34-23 late in the opening quarter after Caleb Love’s 3-pointer, but the Warriors closed the gap and took a 62-61 lead into halftime. <\/p>\n
Curry made back-to-back 3-pointers that stretched Golden State’s lead to 79-70 in the third quarter, their biggest lead of the game to that point. <\/p>\n
Green had eight turnovers, including four in the third quarter, and was called for a technical foul. <\/p>\n
The game was added to the schedule when both the Blazers and Warriors were eliminated from the NBA Cup. <\/p>\n
