He patted his chest after two straight fourth-quarter baskets and said, "I got this!"
Wizards 114, Hawks 107: At Washington, John Wall scored a playoff career-high 32 points and Markieff Morris added 21 in his National Basketball Association postseason debut to help Washington beat Atlanta in Game 1. But the Blazers shot just 43 percent of their filed goals (40-of-93) and 36.7 percent of their 3s (11-of-30) while the Warriors went 43-of-81 from the filed (53.1 percent) and 11-of-27 from long distance (40.7 percent). "It's a credit to their defense".
The Portland Trail Blazers desperately wanted it in Game 1 on Sunday, and tried everything within their power to push and prod and tempt the "Splash Brothers" into that rat-a-tat shoot-out - and nobody else in the league dares to try this.
"It's a close game, and then they have KD", Lillard noted.
Durant, playing his first postseason game for the Warriors, led Golden State with 32 points.
He scored a team-high 32 points, pulled down 11 rebounds and had two assists in the win. While the Warriors pulled away in the second half, the game went to halftime tied after an awesome scoring exhibition from the Blazers backcourt. Just the nature of the discussion on the court tonight. Patrick Beverley added 21 points, ten rebounds, three assists and two steals.

The flight was loaded and preparing to leave Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Sunday when the man was dragged off. He pledged a full review of the circumstances, and said: "No one should be mistreated this way", ABC News reported.
"We're all praying for him", Durant said. "If anything, it showed that when we play at this level, we can play them and we can beat them". "It takes four quarters to beat a great team". Game 2 of the series is on April 19, Wednesday at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Durant, who recently returned to the lineup after missing 19 games with an MCL sprain and bone bruise, suffered a strained calf in the Warriors 121-109 Game One win over the Trail Blazers Sunday. The game was tied at the half and also going into the final quarter.
Players obviously aren't keen to leave money on the table, but with Durant already making $25M-plus, he could be willing to make that sacrifice in order to help keep the Warriors' core in tact, and give himself a better chance to win a championship.
