Monta Ellis 39 points lead Warriors past Blazers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
But did have a monstrous game Saturday that could help him make a leap toward stardom, using the nationally televised game as his personal playground and leading the Warriors to a 109-102 victory over Portland.
Ellis had 39 points on 26 field-goal attempts and seven assists in front of a Santa-hat-wearing crowd of 19,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],596 at Oracle Arena and anyone who wasn't drunk on basketball after watching four games throughout the day on TV.
"He's doing the job that is necessary from a player like him who can do so many things for his team," coach said. "He's our MVP, and he's moving up into that selective group of players in the NBA."
Ellis led a fourth-quarter surge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], during which Portland shot 30 percent and the Warriors finished on an 18-5 run. He was so good that it didn't matter that the Warriors had a negative-21 rebound margin and yielded 62 points in the paint.
"He's the best player I've ever played with," power forward said. "I think we had about 55 different guards in my five years in New York,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he's the best I've played with. I think he's up there with any of the best scorers in the league."
Ellis has scored at least 34 points in four of his past five games,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and his 119 points over his past three games is the best scoring binge of his career. Late in the fourth quarter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he made three of three free throws. After Lee blocked ' runner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], made his fourth three-pointer on as many attempts to tie the game at 97-97 with 3:34 remaining.
Wright followed up by swiping a pass and finishing with a dunk at the other end. After an jumper went awry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ellis found for a three-pointer that gave the Warriors a 102-97 lead with 2:38 left.
The Warriors (11-1 have won three of their past five games and won consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 8 and 10. Portland (15-15) had won seven of its past 10 following a six-game losing skid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Lee added 21 points,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seven rebounds and five assists in his most complete game for the Warriors since an elbow infection sidelined him for eight games last month. His extension on jump shots seems to have returned, as he had his second 8-for-11 shooting night in the past three games.
Lee also played adequate defense on Portland big man LaMarcus Aldridge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who needed 21 shots to score 15 points. Lee, often criticized for his lack of defense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has now made a defensive impact in back-to-back games after pushing around DeMarcus Cousins in Tuesday's win at Sacramento.
played for the first time since spraining his right ankle at San Antonio on Dec. 8. His shot looked rusty (2-for-15) and he had trouble stopping dribble penetration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he did have a good lead-guard game with 11 assists and two turnovers.
Ellis had 24 of the Warriors' 56 first-half points behind a brilliant stretch in the second quarter. He scored 10 consecutive Warriors points from the 4:05 to the 0:43 mark,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including a made-for-national-TV dunk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an over-the-head flipped-in layup and an acrobatic tip-in.
Warriors opening tip Holiday cheer: Saturday's game was the first hosted by the Warriors on Christmas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They have played 11 times on the holiday since moving west in 1962-63 but hadn't been scheduled to play on Christmas since a 1984 game at Portland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Festive feet The Warriors wore red shoes and green socks Saturday to celebrate Christmas, and even power forward David Lee got into the spirit.
The league allowed the players to wear black and orange shoes for their Halloween game at the
At the time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lee said he was too much a creature of habit to swap shoes. So what changed in less than two months?
For one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Nike issued Lee personalized Christmas shoes with "D Lee" stamped on the tongues. Also, there's this: "It's not like I'm averaging 25 points and 10 rebounds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Lee joked. "Maybe if I was doing that, I wouldn't want to change my habits."
