The Warriors have officially listed Kevin Durant as questionable for Game 2 with a strained left calf.
"I'm not 100 percent".
"I'm not sure if he felt it at the end of the game or if he felt it after", Kerr said.
But until Sunday, neither team had seen its rival without its frontcourt star.
Lillard and McCollum became the first Portland teammates to score 34 or more points in a postseason game since Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter accomplished the feat in 1992.
The Blazers played the Warriors well in Game 1 and were within five to seven points for most of the game before Golden State pulled away in the fourth quarter and won 121-109.

The video, which was posted on Sunday by OH man Steve Stephens, showed the graphic murder of 74-year-old Robert Godwin Sr. Steve Stephens , 37, had been the subject of a nationwide manhunt in the wake of Sunday's killing in Cleveland .
Meanwhile, Portland's three starting frontcourt players - Evan Turner, Moe Harkless and Noah Vonleh - combined for only 25 points on 9-for-25 shooting. According to the simulation, the Warriors will easily roll over their opponents in the first three rounds with wins over the Portland Trail Blazers (4-0), Los Angeles Clippers (4-1), and Houston Rockets (4-1).
Golden State should still have plenty of firepower even if Durant is shelved for a night, with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala still being a formidable quartet.
"We've been in this situation very recently, so we understand "next man up" and the way that we need to play when certain guys are out", Curry said.
The Warriors shouldn't be overly concerned right now.
Without knowing how hampered Durant is it's hard to say whether this is just a precautionary status update, but if it's a legitimate concern there may be no better time than now to get ahead of it.
