Game 12: Portland at Warriors Monta Ellis on Friday night has single-handedly willed the shorthanded Warriors to a 56-52 halftime lead over Portland.

The Golden State Warriors had been looking to deal Stephen Jackson for months after the disgruntled guard demanded a trade in the offseason, and they were finally able to ship their second-leading scorer out of town Monday.

Coach Don Nelson deemed the Warriors' 118-90 loss Friday night an embarrassment, and his players parroted the message after being thoroughly outplayed by the Clippers in front of 18,788 at Oracle Arena.
