Portland shooting guard Seth did not fare so well with a 1-7 shooting night.<br />

Speaking after the game, </span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;I know what I&#8217;m capable of on the floor. The situation calls for me to be a little bit more aggressive and hopefully that&#8217;ll continue,&#8217; said Curry, who came in shooting 37.1 per cent on 3 pointers this post-season.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;Obviously it&#8217;s nice to see the ball go in. I didn&#8217;t shoot the ball well for 4 1/2 games the last series and got off to a good start tonight. I want to maintain that. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;Every game is different, you&#8217;ve got to re-establish yourself. That&#8217;s my perspective no matter how I play.&#8217;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: inherit;">Meanwhile Stephen Curry shot 12 for 23 in his fourth 30-point performance this post-season, finding far more open looks than he had in the last round against Houston.</span></div>

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon">The two-time NBA MVP outplayed the Portland duo of Lillard and CJ McCollum, who combined to go 11 for 31 against a strong Golden State defense.</div>
<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;It&#8217;s good to see Steph have a game like that at a time that obviously we need him most,&#8217; Draymond Green said.</span></div>
<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Klay Thompson had 26 points, including a late one-handed slam. Green established the energy on both ends early for the well-rested Warriors, finishing with 12 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals.</span></div>
<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Lillard scored 19 points back home in Oakland, just miles away from where he grew up. He appreciated all the support but wants to stick to basketball.</span></div>
<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;That&#8217;s part of what makes it special, I&#8217;m from here,&#8217; Lillard said. &#8216;I could walk home from here if I wanted to, that tells you how close it is.&#8217;</span></div>
<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">McCollum had 17 and missed five of his six 3s as the cold-shooting Blazers went just 7 for 28 from long range.</span></div>

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Game Two is on Thursday night, and the Warriors are unlikely to have Durant back from a strained right calf. An update on Durant&#8217;s status is expected that day once the two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP is re-examined.</span></div>
<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;I think we played a terrible game and we still had a chance going into the fourth quarter,&#8217; McCollum said, &#8216;so we need to tighten some things up and look forward to the game on Thursday.&#8217;</span></div>
<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Warrior Curry came off screens with authority and matched his post-season career high for 3s, also accomplished in Game One of last year&#8217;s finals against Cleveland. </span></div>

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Little brother Seth struggled with three points for Portland, which shot 36.1 per cent overall.</span></div>
<div class="mobile-gallery-icon"><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;It&#8217;s not one-and-done. We&#8217;ve got a series, it&#8217;s one loss,&#8217; Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. &#8216;We&#8217;ve got to play better, particularly at the offensive end, but we&#8217;ve got to be better at both ends.&#8217;</span></div>

</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;This series is going to get tougher and tougher,&#8217; Green said.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Between warm-up shots, Seth Curry stole a glance to the other end as his big brother went through his own pre-game routine.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Back in the locker room, Stephen Curry said, &#8216;That was wild.&#8217; Then, he joked, &#8216;Only me and Seth are going to score, the whole series.&#8217;<br />

<p><span style="font-size: inherit;">Coach Steve Kerr certainly thought the rest benefited the Warriors.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;The schedule favored us but I thought we took advantage of the situation and got off to a good start,&#8217; Kerr said.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">The Blazers traveled straight to the Bay Area from Denver after winning Game Seven on Sunday rather than return to Portland.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">&#8216;Denver seems like a week ago now,&#8217; Stotts said.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Portland committed four quick turnovers and finished with 21 for 31 Golden State points. G Rodney Hood, who suffered a bone bruise in his left knee Sunday against the Nuggets, scored 17 points. Portland are 1-9 all-time against Golden State in the playoffs.<br />
