The Golden State Warriors moved a step closer to the Western Conference Finals in the NBA play-offs after winning game two against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The defending champions needed a 34-12 fourth quarter to seal a 110-99 victory at the Oracle Arena on Tuesday.

Still without reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry (knee), the Warriors hold a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semi-finals.

Klay Thompson again stepped up in Curry's absence, finishing with a game-high 27 points for the Warriors.

Draymond Green had a double-double of 17 points and 14 rebounds, while Andre Iguodala had 15 points off the bench.

Damian Lillard top-scored for the Trail Blazers with 25 points, while C.J. McCollum had 22.
