The Golden State Warriors continue their quest for back-to-back NBA championships as they opened their conference semi-finals match-up with the Portland Trailblazers this afternoon [Sunday, May 1], rolling to a 118-106 win.
The Warriors appeared in sync—scoring, shooting and passing at will. Even Drake’s friend Chubb‘s would be proud of Draymond Green‘s triple double performance. But what could possibly make the Warriors happier besides their performance Sunday? A healthy Steph Curry, who thinks he can be back by game 3.

Stephen Curry has resumed light shooting without movement on his injured right knee, with the hope that he can get into scrimmages by the end of the week, perhaps in time to be ready for Game 3 of the Golden State Warriors‘ Western Conference semifinal series against Portland.
And during a sideline interview with ESPN’s Lisa Salters during Sunday’s Game 1 win against Portland, Curry said the chances of him returning for Game 3 are “pretty good.”
“To me they’re pretty good so I’ll do anything I can this week to make that happen,” Curry said.
Coach Steve Kerr said earlier Sunday, May 1 the odds that the reigning MVP would be ready for Game 2 on Tuesday at Oracle Arena are “pretty slim.”
“It just depends how his week goes,” Kerr said of Curry’s status for Game 3. “We’ll just monitor him and see how it goes and hopefully get him back at some point. It’s nice to have that long break between 2 and 3.”
