TORONTO (Ticker) - The Golden State Warriors begin a five-gameroad trip Sunday when they face the Toronto Raptors.

After losing their first six games, the Warriors broke into thewin column with Friday's 122-105 triumph over the Los AngelesClippers. Andris Biedrins collected 23 points and a career-best18 rebounds and Al Harrington scored 27 points to pace GoldenState.


"A great feeling," Harrington said. "Now we've got tobuild on it. One game at a time. It was a good sign, a good winfor our fans and a good sign for us. We got that monkey offour back and now hopefully we can start getting wins and playingWarriors' basketball."


The Warriors should also receive a huge boost from StephenJackson, who returns after serving a seven-game suspension forfiring a handgun outside of an Indianapolis strip club last yearwhile with the Pacers.


"We get Captain Jack back, (Jackson) and hopefully we startmaking some moves," Harrington added.


Toronto won for the third time in four outings after holding offthe Indiana Pacers, 110-101, here on Friday. Chris Boshcarried the load with 22 points.


Raptors coach Sam Mitchell hopes last season's No. 1 overallpick Andrea Bargnani snaps out of his disappointing early slump.The 22-year-old is averaging just 7.8 points after scoring atleast 20 in the first two games of the season.
