Warriors' 2025-26 schedule includes 3 latest home tipoffs since 1999, record national TV games
The Warriors are booked to play a franchise-record 34 games on national television this NBA season, eclipsing the mark of 31 set in 2017-18, they announced Thursday afternoon in conjunction with the league's schedule release. Amazon Prime will carry 10 matchups, NBC and ESPN have seven apiece while ABC has the rights to six and Peacock sports the rights to four.
Golden State's opener, announced earlier this week, is Oct. 21 at the Los Angeles Lakers. Its home opener is Oct. 23 against the Denver Nuggets at Chase Center. All but four weekday home games are slated to start at 7 p.m., the aberrations Oct. 28 against the Los Angeles Clippers (8 p.m.), Dec. 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder (8 p.m.), Christmas against the Dallas Mavericks (2 p.m.) and Jan. 13 against the Portland Trail Blazers (8 p.m.).
Tipoffs that late (11 p.m. EST) are abnormal for the Warriors, who last played an 8 p.m. home game April 24, 1999. The three such games this season are set for broadcast on NBC, a rightsholder again with Amazon Prime – along with incumbent ESPN/ABC.
Weekend home games start at 5:30 p.m., save for showdowns Jan. 3 against the Utah Jazz (7 p.m.) and Feb. 22 against the Nuggets (12:30 p.m.). The Christmas clash against Dallas represents the 13th straight holiday billing for the Warriors, who host the Miami Heat for Martin Luther King Jr. Day -- on which they'll play the 24th time in the last 26 years.
Their season concludes April 12 versus the Clippers in Los Angeles.

Lee5 leads Evian champ Kim at LPGA Portland Classic
South Korea's Lee5 Jeong-eun fired six birdies in a five-under par 67 on Friday to grab a one-shot lead over Evian Championship winner Grace Kim and Gurleen Kaur in the second round of the LPGA Portland Classic. Lee5, a 36-year-old chasing her first LPGA Tour title, thrived again at Edgewater Country Club, where she finished tied for second in 2021. She rolled in five straight birdies from the fifth through the ninth, and added one more at 12 before her lone bogey of the day at 13, moving atop the leaderboard with a 12-under par total of 132. Australia's Kim, who won her first major title last month with a playoff victory at the Evian, had an eagle and six birdies in her seven-under 65 for 133 while Kaur posted a 68. Lee -- whose numeral 5 designation differentiates her from five other players with the same name -- said she tried to stay patient in chilly morning conditions, but after a birdie at the par-five fifth she just rode the momentum and "great energy to continue making birdies until hole nine." She needed just 25 putts in a stellar performance on the greens. "Honestly, all my birdie chances were a short putt, so I think that was the reason I was able to make those birdies and have a low putting stroke today," she said. Kim wasn't thrilled with her performance off the tee, but said her shots into the greens and putting "really backed up my game. "Had a lot of good range, mid-range to long putts today, so that was nice," said Kim. "Just rolled it well." She teed off on 10 and had three birdies and a bogey in her first nine holes. After a birdie at the second she eagled the fifth, then closed with back-to-back birdies at eight and nine. "This week is always a bit of a birdie fest," Kim said. "Knowing that, I'm going to try not to get too ahead of myself and be greedy." Kaur also finished strong, closing birdie-birdie for a four-under 68 to join Kim on 11-under -- one shot clear of Akie Iwai, Pajaree Anannarukarn and Ashleigh Buhai. Overnight leader Adela Cernousek of France carded a three-over par 75 to fall seven shots off the pace. LPGA Hall of Famer Juli Inkster, 65 and playing her first LPGA event since 2022 as she prepares for the US Women's Senior Open, came up just shy of a slice of LPGA history. She followed an opening 69 with a two-over 74 and missed breaking the record for oldest player to make an LPGA cut by one stroke. bb/jgc

Lee5 takes Portland Classic lead. Inkster falls shot short in bid to make cut at age 65
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Jeongeun Lee5 shot a 6-under 67 on Friday to take the lead in The Standard Portland Classic, while 65-year-old Juli Inkster fell short in her bid to become the oldest player to make a cut in LPGA Tour history. Lee5, the 36-year-old South Korean player, had a 12-under 132 total at Columbia Edgewater. Winless on the LPGA Tour, she birdied the final five holes on her front nine in the morning round. 'When we are playing well, we expect it to continue,' Lee5 said. 'So, I want to really concentrate and focus going into the weekend. The past two rounds I had great energy, good shots, and good putts.' Inkster, the Hall of Famer who won the 1999 event, followed her opening 69 with a 74 to miss the cut by a stroke. JoAnne Carner was 64 when she made the cut in the 2004 Chick Fil-A Charity Championship. 'Wasn't very inspiring,' Inkster said. 'I didn't drive the ball as well as I did yesterday. Kind of a grind out there today.' She played to prepare for the U.S. Senior Women's Open next week. Grace Kim of Australia and Gurleen Kaur of the United States were a stroke back on the tree-lined course. Kim had a 65, and Kaur shot 68. Akie Iwai had her second straight 67 to join Pajaree Anannarukarn (67) and Ashleigh Buhai (68) at 10 under. Amateur Kiara Romero had a 69 to get to 8 under. The University of Oregon star won the 2023 U.S. Girls' Junior and 2025 Big Ten title. 'It feels really good just to see my game match up against some of these pros, just getting more comfortable playing in front of crowds and stuff,' Romero said. 'My first time playing in front of a big crowd I kind of got a little bit shaken up and was nervous out there.' Two-time champion Brooke Henderson, a stroke back after an opening 65, had a 73 to fall to 6 under. The Canadian star is winless since January 2023 and has dropped to 52nd in the world. First-round leader Adela Cernousek followed her opening 64 with a 75 to drop to 5 under. Angel Yin, the top-ranked player in the field at No. 7, was 2 under after a 70. No. 9 Haeran Ryu also was 6 under, shooting 72. Defending champion Moriya Jutanugarn missed the cut with rounds of 73 and 74. The tournament is the longest continuous event on the LPGA Tour except for the majors, dating to 1972. ___ AP golf:
