Road Warriors get home comforts

The Golden State Warriors begin the schedule-equalising portion of their season on Nov 21 (Nov 22, Singapore time) when they get a revenge matchup at home against the Portland Trail Blazers in an NBA Cup game.

- 

The Warriors will play more than two straight home games for the first time this National Basketball Association (NBA) season after concluding a 10-day, six-game trip that vaulted them to the league lead in road games with 12. They have gone 4-8 in those games.

Golden State now embark on a five-game homestand that will equal the number of home dates the team have had this season.

Three of those five earlier games were standalones, while the only previous two-game homestand was scheduled as a back-to-back.

The Warriors visited Portland on the second night of a home/road back-to-back in the first week of the season and suffered a 139-119 defeat on a night when the Trail Blazers shot 53.8 per cent from the field and 47.1 per cent on three-pointers.

Golden State will also face the Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, New Orleans Pelicans and Oklahoma City Thunder at home before their next road outing on Dec 4 at the Philadelphia 76ers.
