The Warriors are now headed to the East, as they have four games left on their road trip.
Stephen Curry jokes about recording best road win of the season
The Warriors have had a weird season. Until recently, they had the best home record in the league, and the worst road record. The team looked totally different at Chase Center and the polar opposite on the road.
As they started on the five-game trip, the Warriors would be hoping to not only secure wins, but also improve their road record in the process. Tonight, they recorded a 144-113 win over the Spurs at the Alamodome. This is their fourth road win of the season, and by far, the most impressive one.
Talking about the same, Stephen Curry joked and said,
“It takes 64,000 to bring our best road performance of the year.” 😂

Well, Steph was a little off on the number there. There were 68,323 people in attendance tonight.

This takes down the NBA record Michael Jordan and his Bulls set in a game against the Hawks at the Georgia Dome.
Can the Warriors get a Top-6 seed in the West?
After tonight’s game, the Warriors sit on the 7th seed in the West with a 21-21 record. They are 7.5 games behind the top seed in the West, and two games behind the 5th-seeded Kings. With Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins back and healthy, the Dubs can make a push for better seeding.
They seem to have figured out a few of their issues, but a lot more are still bothering the team. The Warriors would have to elevate their performance to the next level to record a good seeding before the playoffs.
It’s a highly competitive Western Conference, with the 13th-seeded Lakers just two games behind the Warriors. Steve Kerr and co would have a note of the same and would look to eliminate their careless mistakes.
