Warriors ready for a fresh start after “the road trip from hell”

The Golden State Warriors are ready for a fresh start after the road trip from hell.
The Golden State Warriors are 3-7 and lost the six games on the road played this season, five straight in Charlotte, Detroit, Miami, Orlando and New Orleans.

Per ESPN, “There are times in the NBA season when things can go off the rails a little bit,” Kerr said after practice Sunday. “A big part of being a great team, being a solid organization, is just understanding how to work through that.”

The Warriors rank 25th in the NBA in points per shot allowed in transition and 23rd in field goal percentage allowed in transition, according to Second Spectrum tracking. Last season, they allowed the lowest field goal percentage in transition.
Golden State is also 24th in defensive rebounding — a category in which it ranked sixth last year.
“We just need to bring more of a sense of urgency,” Thompson said. “We had a long run last year, but 2022 is over. It’s time to kick into high gear and play that championship level of basketball that we’re used to. I fully expect us to do that.”

“We know how good we are in this building,” Thompson added. “So I think we’re going to be off to a fresh start.”
