The Warriors\u2019 perfect 5\u20130 home start shows early signs of a clearer team identity. However, should fans worry about their poor away performances? With just five games at home so far, the Warriors have made the most of their limited opportunities at Chase Center. That dominance, however, comes in sharp contrast to their struggles away from the Bay, where inconsistencies and turnovers continue to hinder them. How long can they keep this momentum going?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5\u20130 at Home, Weak on the Road: Warriors\u2019 Early-Season Analysis<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s Behind the 5\u20130 Home Start<\/h3>\n
\n
The Warriors’ impressive home record may come as a surprise to some, especially considering how inconsistent they’ve looked on the road this season. But at Chase Center, they’re unstoppable, as they continue to control games with confidence and clarity.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With one of the best home records in the NBA, the Dubs consistently show out in front of their fans. Their ball movement sharpens, their spacing improves, and their defense even hits another level. In fact, they’re one of only two teams in the NBA to be undefeated at home so far this season. The other team is the first-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, who are 7\u20130<\/a>. Dub Nation clearly gives them the extra lift they need to close out tight games.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Their first home game of the season set the tone. In an overtime win against the Nuggets, Stephen Curry<\/a> and company showcased their resilience and fire that runs deep in the franchise’s history. So far, the Warriors have beaten the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Suns, and Pacers. With each win, they reinforce the idea that they play their best basketball when in San Francisco. They boast an average of 120 points per game at home<\/a> while shooting nearly 50% from the field.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But why do their performances on the road feel like such a stark juxtaposition?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Through 12 games the Warriors are outscoring opponents by 80 at home and being outscored by 79 on the road.<\/p>\n

That difference is the largest by a team through 12 games this century. https:\/\/t.co\/s1HTjOrlK1<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/HkDTGpvWsq<\/a><\/p>\n
