>> mike: nba playoff coverage continues sunday on abc at 3:30 eastern. game four between the cavs and hawks. atlanta trying to keep their season alive. it starts at 3:00 with "nba countdown." game three here with portland this afternoon as the blazers, their talented young backcourt just sensational. >> jeff: after a struggle in the first half, c.j. mccollum has come alive. an effective pick and roll player, using baseline screens with a little fade. once again, the pick and roll,

the shot fake, the little step through. 13 big points to support lillard and al-farouq aminu. >> mike: lehigh engineer, was born and raised in camden. he broke his foot his senior year. every year he's gotten a little better. you saw signs last year, game five when they were eliminated by memphis in the first round he had 33. then they lost their starters, he got extra minutes, and boy, has he come through. nice feet inside. green with the finish. draymond green's got 30. nine rebounds, eight assists. >> mark: if i'm steve kerr, i'm concerned about the warrior team going forth. you have to do a better job on the defensive end. giving up 111 points to this

portland team is unacceptable. still got plenty of time left and i'm sure that's what steve kerr is going to be talking about, challenging his team. >> mike: obviously a key concern. the other one is when will steph curry return. said he'll be reevaluated tomorrow, maybe play in game four, nothing definitive. shock clock at seven. lillard steps back. it's good. damian lillard with 37. >> mark: wow. >> mike: draymond green banks it in. his seventh three-pointer. >> jeff: new rule, that three-pointer that banks in is a two. >> mark: how good is damian lillard though. >> mike: lillard again, bang! >> jeff: i don't say this

dismissively, but if you traded him and curry, how much difference would we see? this is what we see steph curry doing. making something out of nothing. the incredible long range shooting off the dribble. >> mike: now in three games against the warriors in portland, he's had 51, 40, and 40 here tonight. 40 points, ten assists. eight more three pointers, an electrifying performance from damian lillard. >> jeff: mike, this is against an elite defensive team and an elite defender in klay thompson. >> mark: i coached the warriors and he gave us i believe 50 at oracle and we tried everything. he's that good offensively. or great shall i say. >> mike: coming up on two minutes remaining.

davis kicks it out. crabbe a three. rebound fought for. picked up by klay thompson as we get under the two-minute mark. draymond green. oh, green nails another. he's got 37 with eight three pointers. it's an 11-point portland lead with coming up on 1:30 remaining. lillard. mccollum looks up at the shot clock. mccollum tries a three. that's good. >> mike: 17 three pointers for portland. a breathtaking shooting

performance from these two talented young guards. america, the sprint network is now more reliable than ever and i'm on a mission to prove it's the fastest. i'm traveling the country betting anyone and everyone that sprint is faster than their network. and guess who's winning? the guy with a trailer full of your stuff. i bet my space suit for that slightly oversized jacket. come on. come on. sprint wins! that was fast! yeah, sprint's killing it. the sprint lte network is now more reliable than ever. switch to sprint and save 50% on most verizon, at&t or t-mobile rate plans. if we don't win you over in 30 days, we'll refund your money. >> mark: it's the dame dollar show, making plays away from the screen and roll, knocks down the shot. isolate klay thompson, step back fadeaway jump shot. again, away from the pick and roll. knocking down shots. big-time plays all night long for damian lillard.

mama, there goes that man. >> mike: we were talking during the timeout. this three-point shooting that's going on in the post season, it's staggering. like some of the cleveland shots are good spotup looks. we're talking off the dribble. >> mike: mccollum rips it down. 22 for mccollum, 40 for the man with the ball. as portland's going to get a win in game three. lost it out of bounds. a 20-second timeout called by terry stotts. the number one question for golden state right now, will he play in game four.

oh, my gosh i . >> mike: they are loving their blazers here at the moda center, another sellout crowd. right from the opening tip they have been a raucous crowd, as damian lillard and c.j. mccollum, plus al-farouq aminu who is also turning in an impressive performance. lillard another 40 against golden state, but this time in playoff pressure situation.

team down 0-2. much like they did in the first round against the clippers, they were beaten by double figures the first two games. came back and then won four in a row. they lost by double figures in games one and two against golden state. what a remarkable performance here in game three. terry stotts putting in his reserves, as barbosa nails that one. this crowd has been delirious. >> mike: roberts' shot won't go. the blazers will be the first team to beat the warriors twice this season, once in the regular season and once here in the playoffs. as barbosa misses.

clark drives. out to rush. and that will do it. the series is now 2-1 after a brilliant performance from damian lillard and the portland trail blazers. the youngest team in the playoffs, a team that many people not only felt wouldn't make the post season here but to have them here in the second round, clearly they had some good fortune with the way it turned out with the clippers. clippers were shorthanded, good fortune for them obviously. now here against golden state without steph curry, but they have taken full advantage of their opponent's injuries and

trail 2-1. >> doris: against what has been one of the elite defenses all season long, you just got 40. how did you do it? >> just playing hard, understanding the situation that my team was in. if you go down 3-0, not a lot of teams come back from that, especially against a team as great as this team is. i wanted to come out and be aggressive and just leave it all out here and that's what i did. >> doris: it's not often one supercedes the chief. how about the effort from aminu. >> from the chief, he was big time all season long. it seems like every time we need a big night from him, he comes through. in the clipper series, he came through big for us. tonight once again he came through big for us in a must win. we had some games at the end of the season when we were trying to get a playoff spot, he came through big for us. that's been the story of our team this year, having so many guys step up. he was huge for us. >> doris: you told us prior to the game you're the second team

to -- first team to beat this team twice. the confidence you've gained moving forward, how do you sustain this? >> i'm a confident person all around. even when i step away from the game. but our team, i think we match up well with these guys. we can go small. we can score the ball. it's more of a mental thing, you know, staying locked in for the whole game because this team can run off on you with those three pointers. we joust got to play hard and smart and not let them think the game better than we do. >> doris: thank you. >> mike: always so poised and calm. portland remains undefeated at home in the post season. now 4-0. now back in the series trailing two games to one with game four coming up right back here at the moda center. san antonio up 2-1, as toronto. cleveland up 3-0.
