In what Klay Thompson called a "road trip from hell," the Golden State Warriors made history as the first defending champion to start the season 0-6 on the road.

But as they return home to San Francisco, they are maintaining a positive attitude. Warriors coach Steve Kerr noted the team's 2-9 slump in February and March last season before they went on to win the title.

"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 (3-7) lost at Phoenix on Oct. 25, and after a win at home over the Miami Heat two days later, they dropped five consecutive games at Charlotte, Detroit, Miami, Orlando and New Orleans. The Warriors are adamant that they could have won most of those games, nearly all of which came down to the final few minutes.

During the road trip, forward Draymond Green said the Warriors couldn't fix all their problems right now and needed to zero in on the ones costing them games. Kerr reiterated that Sunday, saying boxing out and fouling were the two biggest areas of concern and that they would be emphasized during practice this week.
