OAKLAND, Calif. -- After getting outgunned at home by the top team in the Western Conference, the Portland Trail Blazers tip off a five-game trip against the West's second-best when they visit the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
In the Warriors, the Trail Blazers will encounter a team just home after a historic road trip of its own.
Golden State went 6-0 on the 10-day journey, becoming just the ninth team in NBA history to have a perfect six-game trip.
The Warriors have played 10 of their past 13 games on the road, squeezing a four-day, three-game homestand between four- and six-game trips.
