--The Warriors' 108-94 win over Portland on Friday night was their ninth in a row over the Trail Blazers in Oakland. Golden State's last home loss to Portland was more than five years ago -- Nov. 4, 2004.

--The Warriors snapped a three-game losing streak.

--The Warriors' previous three wins (against Memphis, New York and Minnesota) were over teams with a combined 7-28 record through Friday's games. Portland entered the contest with a 9-4 mark.

--The Trail Blazers had held each of their last six opponents to 85 points or fewer in regulation. The Warriors had 83 points by the end of the third quarter.

--Because of the team's injury situation, the NBA allowed the Warriors to sign a 16th player to their roster. Chris Hunter, a 25-year-old center who averaged 19.3 points per game in the NBA Developmental League last season, joined the Warriors to be an eighth healthy body in uniform. Without the benefit of a single practice with the team, he played 14 minutes, contributing four points, three rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot to the win.

--The WNBA has expressed an interest in moving the Sacramento Monarchs franchise, which folded Friday, to the San Francisco Bay Area, but so far Warriors ownership hasn't shown any interest in buying. The Monarchs were owned for 12 years by the Maloof brothers, who own the Kings.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "It was just a fun game. It's what we've been missing." -- Monta Ellis, after Friday's 108-94 home win over Portland.
