“Splash Brothers Sink the Blazers in Thriller at Chase Center 2025
Golden State fans got a taste of classic Warriors basketball last night as the Splash Brothers lit up the scoreboard and the Blazers in a high-energy 103–86 win at the Moda Center. Despite being on the road, the Dubs looked right at home, playing with rhythm, fire, and some serious defensive grit.
🔥 Jimmy Buckets
Okay, first things first — Jimmy Butler III is making his presence loud and clear. He led the Warriors with 24 points and 7 dimes, showing off not just scoring ability but some real leadership vibes too. He’s been gelling seamlessly with the team, and last night, he looked like he’d been wearing blue and gold his whole career.

🎯 Buddy Buckets and Classic Steph
Buddy Hield came off the bench shooting lasers, knocking down 16 points with that sweet, quick-release three-point shot that Warriors fans love. Steph Curry added 14 points, but in true Curry fashion, the story wasn’t just about buckets — it was about heart. He took a knock to his thumb, left the game briefly, and returned with it taped up, ready to go. Just Steph things.
🛡️ Defense Wins Games
The Warriors’ defense deserves serious love. They held Portland to a season-low 86 points, clamping down hard, especially in the second half. The Blazers just couldn’t get any rhythm going, and when the Warriors crank up that kind of intensity? It’s game over.

📈 Playoff Picture Heating Up
This W moves Golden State to 48–33, putting them in a tie with the Timberwolves for the sixth seed — and yes, the Warriors own the tiebreaker. They’re now nipping at the heels of both Denver and the Clippers, just one game back. And guess who’s next on the schedule? That’s right — LA is coming to Chase Center on April 13 for what’s shaping up to be a potential playoff-deciding showdown.
If Golden State grabs that W, they could leapfrog into even better positioning heading into the postseason. Not bad for a team that’s been counted out more times than we can remember.
Final Word
The vibes are good. The Splash is real. And the Warriors are heating up at exactly the right time. If you’re a fan, buckle in — this playoff race is about to get wild.
