FEAST ON THE EAST
It’s already been a very successful regular season for the Warriors when it comes to their interconference road schedule, and they have a chance on Thursday night to cement themselves in the NBA record books. Golden State has played 14 road games against Eastern Conference teams this season, losing only one (at Boston on November 16th). With a win on Thursday in Indianapolis, the Warriors would tie the 2006-07 Phoenix Suns (14-1) for the best road record by a Western Conference team against the Eastern Conference in a single season in NBA history.
TEAM LEADERS
INDIANA SCOUTING REPORT
The Pacers are trying to become the first Eastern Conference team to win both regular season meetings against the Warriors since Charlotte did so in the 2013-14 season. They defeated Golden State by a score of 92-81 at Oracle Arena on March 27th, which represented the latest in a season the Warriors had ever faced an opponent for the first time. The Dubs were without Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in that game, however, and the latter three of that foursome has since returned to action and played a large role in Golden State’s current winning streak. With a record of 46-32, the Pacers have already clinched a playoff spot, and currently sit two games behind Philadelphia for homecourt advantage in the first round. Victor Oladipo scored a game-high 24 points in Indiana’s previous win over Golden State and leads the Pacers with an average of 23.4 points per contest. If the Warriors can make life tough on Oladipo on the offensive end, it could go a long way towards securing a fourth-straight victory.
