周一在2016-2017赛季NBA季后赛首轮第四场比赛中，金州勇士队客场以128比103战胜波特兰开拓者队，以四场全胜的成绩晋级西部联盟半决赛。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Stephen Curry scored 37 points and Golden State beat the Trail Blazers 128-103 Monday night to advance to the conference semifinals. The Warriors will face the winner of the series between the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers, which is tied at 2.

    Golden State was energized despite playing for the second straight game without coach Steve Kerr, who has been experiencing a flare-up of symptoms stemming from back surgery a couple of years ago. Assistant Mike Brown has served as head coach in Kerr’s absence.

    报道中的flare-up就是“突然发作、突然恶化”，例如：

    I tend to suffer a flare-up of my asthma on smoggy days.

    在雾霾天我的气喘往往会加剧。
