Klay Thompson scored a game-high 28 points and Stephen Curry added 27, and the Golden State Warriors rolled to a 126-106 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night in San Francisco.

Brandin Podziemski had 15 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, and fellow rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis added 13 points, helping Golden State extend its winning streak to five games, tying a season high.

Anfernee Simons had a team-high 25 points to pace Portland, which fell for the ninth time in its last 10 games.

The Trail Blazers ended Curry's NBA-record 268-game streak with at least one 3-pointer when the clubs met in Portland on Dec. 17. Curry knocked down a 3-pointer on Golden State's first possession Saturday as his new run reached three games.

Despite playing without Shaedon Sharpe, out with a strained groin, the Trail Blazers sprinted to a 30-19 lead with 1:52 left in the first quarter before Golden State dominated most of the rest of the game.

Held to 23 points in the first quarter, the Warriors scored a combined 66 points in the second and third quarters, building a double-digit lead that they used to coast to victory on the second night of a home back-to-back set.

Golden State made only 10 3-pointers in the game, with Thompson knocking down six in 10 attempts. Curry finished 2-for-7.

Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody added 11 points apiece, Kevon Looney a game-high 11 rebounds to complement seven assists, and Chris Paul a team-high 11 assists along with three steals for the Warriors, whose two earlier wins over Portland had come by a total of just eight points.

Portland's Malcolm Brogdon scored 17 points and added 12 assists, six rebounds and three steals.

Jerami Grant also had 17 points, Deandre Ayton added 13 points and six rebounds and Scoot Henderson scored 12 points for the Trail Blazers, whose only victory this month came Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns.
