The 2020-21 Golden State Warriors season was a pivotal one as the team aimed to bounce back from missing the playoffs the previous year. They were led by head coach Steve Kerr and a rejuvenated Stephen Curry, who returned to MVP form. The Warriors finished the regular season with a 39-33 record, securing the 8th seed in the Western Conference standings, but they had to participate in the newly introduced play-in tournament to secure a playoff spot.
Stephen Curry was the standout performer, leading the league in scoring with an average of 32.0 points per game, earning him the NBA scoring title. Despite the absence of Klay Thompson, who was sidelined for the entire season due to an Achilles injury, Curry’s performances were complemented by contributions from forward Andrew Wiggins and rookie center James Wiseman until his season-ending injury. Draymond Green also played a crucial role, offering defensive prowess and playmaking ability.
In the play-in tournament, the Warriors faced the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies. Despite pushing the Lakers in a closely contested game, they ultimately lost 103-100. The subsequent game against the Grizzlies resulted in a 117-112 overtime defeat, which ended their playoff hopes. The season highlighted Curry’s brilliance and marked a period of transition as the Warriors aimed to rebuild into a championship contender. Despite falling short of the postseason, the team showed promise for the future with emerging talents and the anticipated return of Thompson.
- Regular Season Record: 39-33
