The Golden State Warriors have revolutionized the NBA with their up-tempo style of play. It is a brand of basketball that seemingly every team in the league is now trying to emulate, but have had some trouble trying to duplicate.

The Warriors' star-studded cast of selfless players has helped put this team on the brink of becoming the NBA's next dynasty. However, one aspect of their game still has head coach Steve Kerr feeling bittersweet about their performance thus far in the 2017-18 NBA season, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

“We lead the league in assist-to-turnover ratio and we're eighth in turnovers,” Kerr said. “That's probably never happened before in the history of the league.”

The numbers are certainly telling of how the Warriors have been so effective despite the massive amount of turnovers they have committed. Golden State has registered a league-leading 709 assists through the first 23 games of the year. To put these numbers into perspective, the Orlando Magic trails behind them in second with 552.

Although it is impressive to see the Warriors be so reliant on scoring as a team, it is also indicative of the number of turnovers they also commit on a nightly basis. However, seeing as how they are still the most dominant team in the league, Steve Kerr may just have to take the good with the bad on this one.
