Stephen Curry stole the show again on Wednesday night as he led the Golden State Warriors to a massive Game 5 victory over the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is keeping in mind the relatively short amount of rest between the next game of their first-round series against the Sacramento Kings, as it’s a factor in how he would distribute the minutes of his players, especially the most important of them all,  superstar guard Stephen Curry. Ahead […]

The Golden State Warriors had a maddening tendency to play down to their level of competition throughout the regular season, losing to bottom-dwelling foes like the Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic. It was toughest for the Dubs to avoid that penchant outside the friendly confines of Chase Center, where they went a dismal […]

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr couldn’t help but troll Sacramento Kings tactician Mike Brown about the Dubs’ playbook during their Game 4 showdown at Chase Center on Sunday.

The Golden State Warriors managed to claim their first win of the 2023 NBA Playoffs in Game 3 of their quarterfinals series against the Sacramento Kings, and, what’s more impressive, is that they did so without their heart-and-soul big man Draymond Green in the rotation. Due to a controversial incident between him and Kings star […]

Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors got back in the series in front of the home crowd on Thursday night, blowing out the Sacramento Kings even without Draymond Green — and Kerr will be celebrating accordingly. When jokingly asked in the postgame press conference if there was some type of celebration involved for the […]

There’s no denying that Draymond Green has put the Golden State Warriors in an unenviable situation due to his actions in their Game 2 loss against the Sacramento Kings. After delivering a painful foot stomp to Kings star big man Domantas Sabonis, the league has decided to punish Green with a one-game suspension that will […]

Draymond Green got himself in a lot of trouble for his antics in Game 2. Not only did he get himself thrown out in the fourth quarter of Monday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings after stepping on Domantas Sabonis while the latter was on the ground, but the league has not decided to slap Green […]

The Sacramento Kings pulled off another huge win on Monday night against a Golden State Warriors side that had not previously lost back-to-back games in the NBA Playoffs for quite some time now. Well, the Kings changed all that on Monday as they escaped with another hard-fought victory at home, 114-106, to give themselves a […]

The Golden State Warriors suffered a close but tough defeat against the Sacramento Kings in Game 1 — but it’s nothing they can’t come back from. Steve Kerr’s men played well for the most part and even had a second-half 10-point lead in front of what was only an electric Sacramento crowd experiencing its first […]

The Golden State Warriors suffered a Game 1 defeat against the Sacramento Kings. As always, with losses come questions that players, even Stephen Curry, are tired of hearing.

The Golden State Warriors and head coach Steve Kerr threw Andrew Wiggins right into the fire.

Donte […]

The Sacramento Kings are legit.

It was reported on Thursday that Andrew Wiggins is now expected to make his much-awaited return to action for the Golden State Warriors on Sunday in their Game 1 showdown against the Sacramento Kings.

The Golden State Warriors ended 2022-23 on a ringing high note Sunday, blowing out the tanking Portland Trail Blazers 157-101 to clinch a playoff berth. The defending champions have avoided the play-in tournament despite a topsy-turvy regular season, setting the stage for a highly anticipated battle with the Sacramento Kings in the first round of […]

Andrew Wiggins is still working toward his long-awaited on-court return to the Golden State Warriors. As the postseason finally dawns, though, the importance of Wiggins getting some additional practice time by his team avoiding the play-in tournament still looms large. Steve Kerr updated Wiggins’ status on Sunday before his team’s regular-season finale against the tanking […]

The Golden State Warriors still need to beat the Portland Trail Blazers in the season finale to clinch a playoff berth. Even if they somehow fall to the league’s most brazenly tanking team, though, relegated to the play-in tournament, Steve Kerr knows the defending champions must take better care of the ball come the postseason. […]

Andrew Wiggins won’t make his long-awaited on-court return for the Golden State Warriors until the postseason tips off. Tough as it may be for him to quickly acclimate to the speed, physicality and overall intensity of playoff basketball after two months away from game action, Wiggins’ baseline level of conditioning sure seems like it won’t […]

The Golden State Warriors had to overcome a surprise absence from Klay Thompson en route to a 136-125 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but it wasn’t an easy endeavor. After all, head coach Steve Kerr didn’t seem to possess the right answers to this conundrum at first when he decided to roll with a […]

Andrew Wiggins has rejoined the Golden State Warriors, but don’t expect Steve Kerr and the coaching staff to play the star forward soon following his long absence. Including the Warriors’ Tuesday showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Wiggins has now missed 23 straight games. He last played in February before taking some time away from […]

The Golden State Warriors suffered another deflating loss on Sunday night as their hopes to secure a guaranteed spot in the playoffs took another blow.

Andrew Wiggins’ status moving forward remains unknown as he continues to be away from the Golden State Warriors.

[…]

With everyone at the franchise remaining tight-lipped about what exactly is going on, many observers […]

The Golden State Warriors are at their best when Draymond Green is their emotional fuel. Their defensive leader is also arguably the heart and soul of this NBA dynasty. Head coach Steve Kerr knows this too, and showered him with praise after an exhilarating 120-109 comeback win over the New Orleans Pelicans in the Chase […]

The Golden State Warriors still don’t know when Andrew Wiggins may make his long-awaited return to the team.

Before his team’s pivotal matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans […]

After the Warriors earned their biggest win of the season […]

There were a number of moments that had both Dallas and Golden State up in arms during the crucial Mavs-Warriors clash on Wednesday night. None stood out more than the 5-on-0 power play the Warriors were able to convert on late in the third quarter. Coming off a Mavs timeout, the Warriors were given the […]

It’s all coming together for Jonathan Kuminga.

Kuminga shot 9-of-11 from the field and drained two of his three tries […]

There weren’t too many things to be happy about in the Golden State Warriors’ 133-119 loss against the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. Apart from the fact that this was the Dubs’ 10th straight road loss, this was also Memphis’ second consecutive victory over the defending champs. In spite of another devastating loss for […]

There’s no doubt that Dillon Brooks had a major hand in Steph Curry’s struggles on Saturday night.

The result? Curry needed 15 […]
