Cole: I won’t blame fatigue for the loss. The Trail Blazers have assembled a very strong lineup.

The reporter went to the scene today to follow the Warriors 119-139 Trail Blazers game and attended the press conference after the game. The following is part of the interview with Warriors head coach Cole compiled by Xiaoba.

Reporter: How much do you think the level of fatigue affected the game tonight?

Cole: I think the NBA schedule is like this. Every team has to face various situations, and there will always be some difficult moments in the process. But that's not the problem tonight. It's Portland and the team they've built - their length, their athleticism, their style of play, and they're playing extremely well.

So you know, if I were sitting here blaming fatigue on my failure, I would be ashamed. Because the opponent directly impacted us and dominated the game. This game belongs to them and their wonderful performance. The city will really enjoy watching this Trail Blazers team because they play hard and have a clear identity. After going through the era of Terry (Stotts), Dame (Lillard), and CJ (McCollum), their rebuilding process was very good. While the last few years have been tough, they've made good use of that time and built a solid roster.
