The 2015–16 Golden State Warriors season is the ongoing 70th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 54th in the San Francisco Bay Area.[2] The Warriors entered the season as the defending NBA champions and they went on to make NBA history by setting the best ever season record of 73–9, breaking the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls record of 72–10.[3] This team and their regular-season is now considered by many analysts, players, and fans, to be the greatest in NBA history and one of the greatest in professional sports history.[4][5][6][7] The 73 wins this year broke their franchise record of 67 set in 2014–15 for most wins in a season, and they became only the second team in NBA history to pass the 70 win threshold.[8] The Warriors stand alone holding the best record in NBA history for 51 of the total 82 games in the regular-season.[3] They slipped off their record setting pace for only four games of the regular-season, and were tied for the other 27 games with the pace of such championship winning teams as the 1966–67 Philadelphia 76ers, 1971–72 Los Angeles Lakers and 1995–96 Chicago Bulls.[3] Golden State have the best start in NBA history for every number of losses from 1 to 9 except 3: 29–1 (.967), 36–2 (.947), 48–4 (.923), 55–5 (.917), 62–6 (.912), 68–7 (.907), 69–8 (.896) and 73–9 (.890).[3]

The Warriors began the 2015–16 season by winning their first 24 games, eclipsing the previous best start in NBA history, set by the 1993–94 Houston Rockets and the 1948–49 Washington Capitols at 15–0.[9][3] Their record-setting start ended when they were defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks on December 12, 2015.[10] The Warriors broke a 131-year-old record of 20–0 set by the 1884 St. Louis Maroons baseball team, to claim the best start to a season in all of the major professional sports in America. They also won 28 consecutive regular-season games dating back to the 2014–15 season, eclipsing the 2012–13 Miami Heat for the second longest winning streak in NBA history.[3] The team set an NBA record 54-straight regular-season home game winning streak, which spanned from January 31, 2015 to March 29, 2016. The previous record of 44 was held by the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls.[11] Golden State broke their franchise record of 28 road wins in a season which they set in 2014–15; they ended the season with 34, passing the same mid-90s Chicago Bulls team led by Michael Jordan for the most road wins in NBA history.[12] The Warriors surpassed the 1969–70 New York Knicks for the best road start in NBA history at 14–0, which is also the joint-third longest road win streak.[13]

Golden State won the Pacific Division and finished top of the Western Conference for the second successive season. The team became the first in NBA history to go the entire regular-season without back-to-back losses and to go a full season without losing to the same team twice.[14] Steve Kerr was named Coach of the Year, the third coach in Warriors history to win the award.[1] Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson were all named to the All-Star Game, the first time the Warriors have had three All-Stars since 1976. Green had thirteen triple-doubles, which broke the Golden State season franchise record of nine.[15] Curry broke his own NBA record for made three-pointers in a season of 286, finishing with 402. He has also made a three-pointer in 152 (175 including playoffs) consecutive games, which broke the NBA record of 127 set by Kyle Korver in 2014. Curry won the scoring title, averaging 30.1 points per game and led the league in steals and had the best free throw percentage. He became the seventh player to enter the 50–40–90 club (he shot 50% for field goals, 45% for three-pointers and 91% for free throws during the entire regular-season.) On February 27, 2016, Curry tied the NBA record of twelve three-pointers made in a single game, jointly holding it with Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall.[16] The Warriors became the greatest three-point shooting team in NBA history by breaking the single-season record of 933 set by the 2014–15 Houston Rockets, they finished with 1,077.[17]

The Warriors also ended the Spurs' NBA record 39 home wins to start the season (in total a 48-game home winning streak dating back to the previous season.) Golden State became the first team in NBA history to go the entire regular-season without back-to-back losses and to go a full season without losing to the same team twice.[14]

Notes

  1. ^ Luke Walton served as interim head coach from October 27, 2015 to January 20, 2016 while Steve Kerr recovered from back surgery complications. He led Golden State to a 39–4 start.[1]
  2. ^ Statistics for steals and blocks were not kept in the NBA until the 1973–74 season, so NBA five-by-fives were only possible from that season onward. Stat based on records since 1983–84 season. There may be other players who achieved this before that date.
  3. ^ The longest, 33 games won by the Los Angeles Lakers, also ended in Milwaukee.[26]
