Summary

The Warriors look to take their win streak to four games heading into the All-Star Break, with their last game up in Portland against the Trail Blazers. The Blazer may be without Jusuf Nurkic tonight, while the Dubs will have Draymond Green returning to the lineup. Look for Steph Curry and Klay Thompson to light it up before they head down to LA with Kevin Durant and Draymond to represent GSW at the All-Star Game. This season, the Warriors have nearly identical stats at home and on the road. That's rare, even for a very good team. The Warriors have already lost 7 games at home this season, and could be on their way to more home losses if they don't pick up their focus and defensive intensity. Separation in home-road splits would be a great sign going into the home stretch of the season. Around the NBA, the Rockets are on a 9-game win streak, and the Jazz have won ten in a row. The Raptors have overtaken the Celtics for the top spot in the East, and the new-look Cavs have dominated multiple game opponents. Perhaps the Warriors can use rest from the break to get into a little win streak of their own. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	You are Locked on Warriors, your daily Golden State Warriors podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.
0:29.8	Greetings, Hoops Heads, welcome to Locked-on Warriors, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network.
0:34.2	It's Wednesday, February 14th, happy Valentine's Day to y'all. Happy Hump Day. I'm your host,
0:40.1	Alico Carter. Tonight is the last game of the Warriors schedule before the All-Star break. They're
0:46.1	on a three-game winning streak looking to make it four up in Portland against the Trailblazers.
0:52.1	We're going to get into that in the first segment. There are a pretty
0:55.7	good defensive team and a middling offensive team. They're dynamic at the guard positions and
1:01.5	the Warriors are going to have to be locked in defensively to be able to get that four-game
1:05.7	winning street going into the All-Star break, especially because the Rockets rumped yesterday
1:10.8	against the Minnesota Timberwolves and because the Rockets romped yesterday against the Minnesota
1:11.8	Timberwolves and are right there behind the Warriors. So the Rockets will play tonight against
1:17.3	Sacramento and the Warriors are going to play Portland. And if the Rockets win and the Warriors win,
1:22.2	or the Rockets lose and the Warriors lose, then both teams will be going into the All-Star Break tied, which means
1:30.3	the Houston Rockets will have the edge in the tiebreaker.
1:33.6	So the only way the Warriors go into the All-Star break with the number one overall seed
1:38.4	is if they win tonight and the Houston Rockets lose, which is unlikely.
1:43.1	I thought the Wolves were going to give the Rockets a little bit of trouble,
1:46.4	and for most of the game they did, but in the fourth quarter,
1:49.0	the Rockets just ran away with it,
1:51.5	especially because Carl Anthony Towns and Jeff Teague had very good games,
1:55.8	but Jimmy Butler was just okay, and I think that was the difference in the game.
1:59.8	Everyone came to play on the Rockets
