WARRIORS ROAD SWING CONTINUES
The Warriors continue for the second of five consecutive road games to face off against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. The five-game road swing is tied for the Dubs’ longest road trip of the season. Monday’s matchup will be the first game of a back-to-back set for the Warriors and the first of two meetings between the two clubs during the 2021-22 campaign. Despite suffering a loss on Saturday, the Dubs are 7-3 on the road this season and own the second-best record in the NBA (21-5), trailing only the Phoenix Suns (21-4).

Stephen Curry has made 2,967 career 3-pointers, seven shy of breaking Hall-of-Famer Ray Allen’s record as the All-Time 3-Point Leader. Curry, who has played 787 games entering Monday’s meeting, will complete the achievement in 500 less career games than Allen (1,300).
LAST TIME OUT
The Dubs struggled from the perimeter, splashing just 12-of-48 3-point attempts and falling 102-93 to the Philadelphia 76ers. » Full Game Recap
