The 2014-15 Golden State Warriors season marked a turning point in the franchise’s history, establishing them as a dominant force in the NBA. Under the guidance of first-year head coach Steve Kerr, the team implemented a dynamic style of play centered around three-point shooting and ball movement. This approach led the Warriors to a league-best 67-15 record, making them the top seed in the Western Conference.
Key to their success was the emergence of Stephen Curry as a bona fide superstar. Curry won the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, averaging 23.8 points and 7.7 assists per game while setting a then-record for three-pointers in a season with 286. His backcourt partner, Klay Thompson, also played a crucial role, making up the “Splash Brothers” duo known for their sharpshooting prowess.
The Warriors’ depth was another factor in their success, with significant contributions from Draymond Green, who provided versatility and defensive prowess, and Andre Iguodala, who offered experience and leadership. In the playoffs, Golden State defeated the New Orleans Pelicans, Memphis Grizzlies, and Houston Rockets to reach the NBA Finals.
In the Finals, the Warriors faced the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James. Despite falling behind 2-1 in the series, Golden State made strategic adjustments, including starting Iguodala, which helped them win three consecutive games to clinch the championship in six games. Iguodala was named Finals MVP, underscoring his impact on both ends of the floor. This championship was Golden State’s first since 1975, heralding a new era of success for the franchise.
