The Golden State Warriors went a perfect 4-0 on their road trip that took them from Toronto to Indiana. Here are five takeaways from that stretch.
The Golden State Warriors went a perfect 4-0 on a tough road trip. They visited the Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, and the Indiana Pacers. They found a way to win each game.
Last season when Golden State went on a similar trip, they were taken to double overtime by the Celtics and they lost their record 24 game winning streak to the Bucks. It was a trip that pushed them to the limit and gave them a loss. This season, they made sure that they only came away with wins.
They’re on an eight game winning streak, bouncing back after losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in Staples Center. They’ve started to show flashes of what this team can be on both ends of the floor. Each game had a different feel to it, but the one constant was that the Warriors were scoring a lot of points (118.76 average over four games).
To be fair to their opponents, both the Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers were hobbled. So while it is difficult to get a real feel for what those teams can do and how they matchup with the Warriors, the Dubs still did a lot of things right on their own. They played who was in front of them.
The new-look Golden State Warriors are still a work in progress. They’re getting better every game. Here are five takeaways from that perfect road trip.
