Bass/Fuchs (Ione) Tuesday, May 3, 2016 BLAZERS: Continued from 1B Back home in the East Bay, Lillard was hoarse as he has been battling a chest cold in recent days but noted Monday: “I’ve always said there are no excuses. The bottom line is my team needs me to perform better than I did. Tomorrow, I’ve got to be better. I will be. Our team will be better.” He said the Blazers must match Golden State from the tipoff. “We’ve just got to under- stand that they are a good irst-quarter team. We’ve got to be better from the start of the game,” Lillard said. “So once we ix that and continue to compete the way we did, we’ll have a chance.” A look at Game 2 on Tuesday night at Oracle Arena: Kerr expects Portland to push all game, never surren- dering on the offensive end even if the Blazers trail by double digits. That’s what makes Golden State’s defensive energy for 48 minutes so important if the Warriors are going to take a 2-0 series lead at home. “They’re not going to be a team that’s going to panic and all of a sudden it goes from 25 to 35 and it’s game over,” Kerr said. “They’re the kind of team, they’re going to stay with it. They’ve got such great shot-makers, they’re always going to be on your tail, so our defense has to be locked in for 48 minutes.” Slowing down Klay Thompson, who scored 37 points while handling the load of guarding Lillard, must be a top priority for Portland. Portland coach Terry Stotts is eager to see his team bounce back. The Blazers not only fell way behind in the irst quarter and shot just 40 percent — 10 for 31 on 3-pointers — they also were outrebounded 55-40 and gave up 16 offensive boards. “Well, we can’t get down 20. Anything less than 20 would be a better start,” he said Monday. “They’re a irst- quarter team. They’re the best in the league at getting off to good starts. So, we have to be able to match that.” TIME TO STEP UP TO A STIHL. SAVE $ 50!
