SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors are defending better, playing faster and reaping the all-court benefits of deploying more athletic lineups. Adding even more encouragement for the Dubs as those developments drive their midseason turnaround?

Former NBA big man Kendrick Perkins didn’t hold back in sharing his rather harsh thoughts on Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors amid their recent hot streak. The Warriors are on a three-game winning streak and seem to be finding their groove, a situation that likely convinced the Dubs to stay relatively silent during […]

The trade deadline came and went with the Golden State Warriors barely lifting a finger.

The window has closed for the Golden State Warriors to make the type of blockbuster move at the trade deadline that once seemed necessary to save their season.

For the past 13 years or so, Klay Thompson has helped define an era of Golden State Warriors basketball. But alas, everyone (except LeBron James, perhaps) succumbs to Father Time.
