--The Blazers shot .476 from the field, but started the game 4 of 15. McMillan felt they never found a rhythm offensively.
"At times we didn't get the movement or cutting to give the ball room to penetrate," the Portland coach said. "With their small lineup, (the Warriors) force you to play an isolation game. They switch everything and fall back into a zone and force you to shoot the ball. You have to make shots, and we just didn't do enough of that." --In the first two meetings of the team, Golden State guard Steven Jackson made a combined five of 24 shots from the field. On Sunday night, Jackson buried six of 11 from three-point range and collected a game-high 29 points and nine rebounds.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Early in the game, we had good looks, but we didn't knock down the shots. That's what we did to win the first two games (against the Warriors). Tonight we didn't." -- Nate McMillan, on the Blazers' loss at Golden State.
