TOUGH HOME TEST FOR ROAD WARRIORS

Having played the most away games, Golden State start long home run against NBA champs
-
The Golden State Warriors will put their newfound home-court success to the ultimate test on Jan 2 (Jan 3, Singapore time) when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder in San Francisco.
The Warriors have won five of their last six National Basketball Association (NBA) games overall, including their last three at home over the Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic and Dallas Mavericks.
The league leaders in road games played (20), the Warriors tip off a stretch of 10 of 11 at home, starting with a team who have already won at the Chase Center this season.
But the Thunder have won pretty much wherever they have gone, running up a 12-3 road record with losses only to the Portland Trail Blazers, Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs.
The latter two defeats have come in Oklahoma City’s most recent road contests against the Spurs and Timberwolves. Having played six of their last eight games at home, as well as one in Las Vegas during the NBA Cup competition, the Thunder have not won a true road contest in almost a month, since a triumph at the Utah Jazz on Dec 7.
