The Golden State Warriors look to finish .500 on a road trip for the first time this season when they visit the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday
night.

Golden State (23-26) is closing its second six-game trip of the season, tying its longest stretch of road games in 2006-07. The Warriors are in position to complete a trip without a losing record after beating Indiana 113-98 on Monday.

Stephen Jackson scored a season-high 36 points in his first meeting with his former team for Golden State, which is 6-18 on the road and went 2-4 on the first six-game swing from Dec. 15-23.

The Warriors' road record is third-worst in the NBA, ahead of only Seattle (4-19) and Memphis (3-20). Golden State is allowing a league-high 112.0 points on the road, 5.1 more than the closest team - Washington.

Golden State is looking forward to ending its trip and returning to Oracle Arena, where it plays like a different club. The Warriors, who host Chicago on Friday and play five of their next seven at home, are 17-8 in Oakland.

"Home sweet home," Harrington said after Monday's victory.

First, Golden State will try to end a three-game losing streak at the Target Center.

The Warriors hope for a repeat performance from Jackson as they try to end that skid and close out their trip on a positive note. The swingman is averaging 17.0 points in nine games since the Warriors acquired him and Al Harrington in an eight-player trade with Indiana on Jan. 17.

Jackson averaged 14.1 points in 37 games with the Pacers.

"In this offense, it is easy to get going," Jackson said after Monday's victory. "Everybody can get involved and that's how I was able to get into a rhythm."

Jackson and the Warriors will be facing a slumping Wolves team. Minnesota (22-26) fell behind by 20 points at halftime and was routed 105-77 at Houston on Monday, its fourth consecutive loss and 10th in 12 games.

Timberwolves interim coach Randy Wittman, 2-6 since replacing the fired Dwane Casey on Jan. 23, ripped his team after the game and was especially unhappy with his guards, who combined for 12 of Minnesota's 17 turnovers.

Starters Ricky Davis and Mike James combined for just 13 points on 5-for-13 shooting, and Davis had six of the turnovers.

"Our guard play was atrocious," Wittman said. "There was no direction at all. I didn't recognize what we were doing offensively."

Minnesota has fallen two games behind Denver for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference.

For the Timberwolves to halt their skid, they'll need their backcourt to play better in support of Kevin Garnett, who's averaging a team-high 22.6 points and a league-best 12.4 rebounds.

Despite the poor game Monday, Davis is second on the team with 15.8 points. James - the point guard - has struggled of late, with just 7.4 points and 2.6 assists over the last five games. He's averaging 11.1 points and 4.1 assists on the season.
