This is our first five game winning streak in the playoffs.  The previous high was four games in 2008, beginning in Game 5 against the Pistons and extending through Game 2 of the Finals.

Also, our four-game road winning streak is by far the best we've played on the road in the KG era.  During the last two playoff years, we couldn't string together consecutive road wins, let alone put together a long winning streak.

'Tis glorious.  :D

Why do you think the team focuses so much more on the road this year?

While true, we're just playing better basketball regardless if it's on the road or not.

Secondly, most of our road problems in 2008 where more of a team experiencing the playoffs for the first time more than anything. We played well on the road against Detroit and the Lakers.

Last year, we also played good on the road, and our failures were more of a consequence of fatigue and lack of KG than a focus/effort thing.

We've also won as many road games this year (5-2) as we did the past two seasons combined (5-13).
