CLOSE SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Martin Rogers breaks down Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, where the Warriors used another big third quarter to beat the Blazers for a commanding 3-0 series lead. USA TODAY
Yet they are, and they were again on Saturday night, a post-halftime explosion being the predominant reason why the two-time defending champions are now on the verge of putting the Portland Trail Blazers away. The Blazers were feeling good about their chances when they went into the break holding a 66-53 advantage, but they were up against a different opponent after the interval, or at least one with a different mindset.
It was earlier this season that the Warriors scored 49 points in a single quarter against the San Antonio Spurs. That was a third quarter. In 2015, Klay Thompson scored 37 points in a quarter. That was a third quarter. In Game 2, Golden State broke the Blazers' backs with a surging run and you can guess when it happened.

How Nuggets, Blazers can win Game 7, advance to meet Warriors in Western Conference FinalsPortland's Damian Lillard and Denver's Nikola Jokic meet again in what could be an epic finale. The winner takes on NBA defending champ Golden State. Really? They are deciding the series based on a game of 1-on-1? I’ve never heard of this before DaisyKevan2 To think that USA Today was on the Internet by the actual 2015. In the movie, however, it is presumably available only as a printed newspaper like back in the 80s. It's even supposed to have 3 billion readers by 2015 apparently. My BBC link is about Olympus Mons.
