Golden State Warriors’ Scouting Report

The Golden State Warriors enter tonight’s game appearing to be the NBA’s best team.  They currently have the best record at 31 wins and 6 losses.  The Warriors have won 4 of their last 5 games and 11 of last 13 contests.  This is a talent loaded team poised to win an NBA Championship this season.

Last time out, the Warriors hosted the Memphis Grizzlies.  The Warriors built a big lead through three-quarters only to squander it away and lose 128-119 in overtime.  Below is a highlight video from that game to give you a glimpse at the Warriors current form.

The man behind the big offseason news is having an absolutely phenomenal year for his new team.  Kevin Durant spurned the Oklahoma City Thunder to join Golden State in the biggest story of the offseason.  KD has not missed a beat with his new team.  Durant is averaging 25.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.6 blocks, and 1.9 three-pointers per game while shooting 53.4% from the field, 85.7% from the charity stripe, and 38.1 from three-point territory.  Those are great numbers with supreme efficiency.  Durant added just one more rocket launcher to a team with two straight NBA Finals appearances under their belt.
