The 2000-01 Golden State Warriors season was a challenging chapter in the franchise’s history. Under the guidance of head coach Dave Cowens, the team struggled significantly, ending the season with a disappointing 17-65 record. This placed them at the bottom of the Pacific Division and tied with the Chicago Bulls for the worst record in the NBA that year.
The Warriors faced numerous obstacles, including injuries and a lack of team cohesion. Key players like Antawn Jamison, who averaged 24.9 points per game, and Larry Hughes, who contributed 16.5 points per game, were unable to turn the tide for the struggling franchise. The lack of a consistent supporting cast further exacerbated the Warriors’ difficulties on both ends of the court.
Golden State’s performance was hampered by their defensive inefficiencies, as they allowed an average of 102.4 points per game, ranking among the lowest in the league. Offensively, the team had limited success, with an average of 96.0 points per game. Despite their efforts, the Warriors were unable to compete with the stronger teams in the NBA, resulting in a season marked by frequent losses and low morale.
The 2000-01 season highlighted the need for significant changes within the organization. The struggles of this period ultimately led to a restructuring of the team in subsequent years, as the Warriors sought to rebuild and reestablish themselves as a competitive force in the NBA. The season remains a reminder of the challenges faced by the franchise during this era.
