Even when the Blazers have had double-digit leads coming into the second half, the Warriors have proved too powerful and efficient.
Nothing can stop the nucleus of Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, especially not the injury-worn Trail Blazers.

Lillard is fighting a suspected rib injury which has kept to him a meagre average of 20 points per game, but the critical stat is turnovers.
The Oakland native has made 15 field goals, but has turned the ball over 14 times, which is why the Blazers have struggled this series.
History suggests it is impossible to come back and win a series after starting 0-3, as no team in the NBA Playoffs has ever achieved the feat.
The Trailblazers will hope to give their home crowd something to cheer for before they start preparing for next season.
Warriors vs Trail Blazers Game Four betting tips
Meyers Leonard Over 5.5 Rebounds @ +120 with Nags.bet
For a centre to play 30 minutes and only pull down three rebounds is a disgrace, regardless of whether Leonard plays the traditional role. Blazers head coach Terry Stotts will make Leonard aware of what needs to be done in order to defeat the Warriors – rebound strong on both ends.
CJ McCollum Over 29.5 Points @ +300 with Nags.bet
You can count on the Trail Blazers to provide a last-ditch effort, one where CJ McCollum and Dame Lillard will be front and centre. With Lillard playing through injury, it would be suspected that McCollum begins his game from the first possession. He has found space to shoot all series, but has struggled to make the shots. McCollum will bounce back in Game Four and give Portland a chance.
Draymond Green Pts+Reb+Ast Over 35.5 @ +170 with Nags.bet
If you were to pick an MVP from this series, you would give it to Draymond Green, who has been nothing short of brilliant in the absence of Kevin Durant. Green has been a wall on the defensive end and has averaged 16 points per game in this series – more than double his regular season average of 7.4.
Portland Trail Blazers Win 1-10 @ +234 with Nags.bet
Being swept in the Western Conference Finals would be the most embarrassing outcome for the Trail Blazers, who have been far better than what they are producing. The pride of the city and its players will get Portland over the line in this match.
