Red-hot Warriors take on streaking Trail Blazers

Dec 12, 2007 - 5:24 PM Golden State (12-9) at Portland (9-12) 10:00 pm EST

PORTLAND, Oregon (Ticker) -- After taking down the reigning NBA champions at home, Stephen Jackson and the red-hot Golden State Warriors take their show to the road.

Jackson and the surging Warriors hope to continue their recent stellar play Wednesday when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers.

After losing its first six games this season, Golden State has won 12 of its last 15 contests, including Tuesday's 96-84 victory over the defending champion San Antonio Spurs.

Jackson scored 20 points for Golden State, which had not won 12 games during a 15-game stretch since the 1975-76 campaign.

The Warriors have gone 11-3 since Jackson, the team captain, returned to the lineup from a season-opening seven-game suspension.

The Trail Blazers enter Wednesday's contest on a season-high four-game winning streak.

Martell Webster scored a season-high 25 points as Portland continued its winning ways Tuesday with a 97-89 victory over the Utah Jazz.

The 21-year-old Webster, who was selected sixth overall during the 2005 NBA draft, is making vast improvements in his third NBA season, averaging 12.0 points while playing just over 33 minutes a game.
