Portland defeated Golden State 139–119 on October 24 at the Moda Center, with Dario Avdija leading the Trail Blazers with 26 points and Jerami Grant adding 22 in a balanced offensive attack. The Blazers shot 53.8 percent from the field and made 16 three-pointers while controlling the tempo with 30 assists and forcing 25 Golden State turnovers. Golden State's Stephen Curry posted 35 points in a losing effort, but the Warriors managed only 43.8 percent shooting and committed 25 turnovers themselves, undermining their offensive rhythm. Portland's defensive rating of 108.0 proved decisive against Golden State's 108.0 offensive rating, particularly in the second quarter when the Blazers outscored the Warriors 41–28 to seize control. The Warriors' bench production through Jalen Kuminga's 16 points could not compensate for Golden State's ball-security issues and shooting inefficiency. Portland's dominant performance, built on ball movement and defensive pressure, positions them favorably in early-season Western Conference standings.
