Speking Of LaMarcus Aldridge
The Blazers have now gone as far into the playoffs (5 wins) in their first season without LaMarcus Aldridge as they ever did with him.
Blazers move to 80-37 at home all-time in the playoffs, 25-4 in the second round.
It was the 1st time in postseason history that two players have made EIGHT 3-pointers in the same game (Damian Lillard & Draymond Green)
Damian Lillard has broken the team record for 3-pointers in a playoff game with EIGHT
Draymond Green's 37 points, was the most he had scored in any game in his career (regular-season or postseason).

Portland is the first team to beat GSW twice this year.
