ROAD WARRIORS
With their 112-96 win over the Kings on Saturday night, the Warriors improved their road record to 27-10 so far this season. In doing so, they became the first team in NBA history to win at least 27 road games in four consecutive seasons. Golden State’s success on the road should come in useful throughout the rest of the regular season, as after Sunday’s home game against the Suns, the Dubs will have only one remaining home game (the final game of the regular season).

PHOENIX SCOUTING REPORT
This season isn’t over yet, but the Suns already have their eyes set on next year. At 19-58, Phoenix currently possesses the worst record in the entire NBA, and will once again miss the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season. They enter Sunday’s game against Golden State riding a season-long 14-game losing streak, and have won only one of their last 25 games. The faced the Warriors twice over that span, losing both times, including a 129-83 Golden State victory at Oracle Arena on February 12. The Suns have actually lost each of their last 13 games against the Dubs, and haven’t prevailed at Oracle Arena since 2011.
