PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS vs. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS GAME NO. 16 --- Friday, Nov. 29, 1996 WARRIORS IN THE GARDEN --- The Trail Blazers, 9-6, will be looking for their sixth victory in their last seven outings when they host Golden State in the Rose Garden Friday. They also will be out to post their fifth consecutive success at home. A win over the Warriors wou ld be Portland s 10th in November, the most for the month since the team went 12-1 to start the 1990-91 season. At 9-6, the Blazers have their third consecutive winning month (going back to last season), a span during which they have posted a collective record of 28-12. Portland s 120-109 win at San Antonio Wednesday earned a split on their two-game Texas invasion and evened its road record at 5-5. That is a considerable improvement over a year ago when the fifth win away from home didn t come until early January, the season s 31st game and the 16th on the road. The Blazers 9-6 start is the best in Coach P.J. Carlesimo s tenure and is noteable given the rugged opening schedule in which 10 of the first 15 games were on the road, the most travel in the first month in more than a decade for Portland.
