Overview
The Golden State Warriors are a professional basketball team based in San Francisco, competing in the NBA's Western Conference. Founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors, the franchise moved to the Bay Area in 1962 and has become known for its high‑pace offense and three‑point shooting. The team has captured four NBA championships since 2015, driven by stars such as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, and remains a cultural touchstone for modern basketball.
This season
Entering the 2025‑26 campaign, the Warriors sit near the middle of the Western Conference with a 12‑9 record, aiming to rebound from a missed playoff berth last season. Recent games show improved defensive cohesion, and the club is focused on integrating rookie forward Moses Moody while maintaining chemistry with veteran core players.
