Trail Blazers-Warriors Preview
The Golden State Warriors have avoided losing three in a row for almost 17 months, but such a skid is on the horizon following back-to-back road losses to motivated opponents. NBA-best Golden State looks to end its rare losing streak by winning its 15th consecutive home game Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers, who are trying to gain home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. The Warriors (63-15) appear to be in a good position to avoid their longest skid since November 2013 with a return to Oracle Arena, where they've won by an average of 14.2 points during their current run. Golden State has scored 112.9 points per game while shooting 41.1 percent from 3-point range en route to a league-best 35-2 home record, but has averaged 96.0 points and made 36.0 percent from beyond the arc in its last two road defeats.
