Quinten Post added 16 points and five rebounds off the bench. The victory was Golden State's second win against Portland during the preseason slate.

Collins put up 24 points and grabbed six rebounds on 7-for-8 shooting from the floor. Lopez registered 16 points and four rebounds and converted six of his eight shot attempts.
