PORTLAND, Ore. -- On the road in the playoffs, the Golden State Warriors are (expletive) giants.
Of everything this team has accomplished over the past five years, a number that personifies their dominance is the streak they extended Saturday night when they defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 110-99 to take a 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference finals.
They now have 22 consecutive series with at least one road victory. That's already an NBA record, and it may stand for a long time. The Warriors are already flirting with the Boston Celtics' eight straight titles in the 1960s and the Chicago Bulls six championships in eight years for greatest team of all-time status.
