Overview
The 2015–16 Golden State Warriors season was the 70th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 54th in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Warriors entered the season as the defending NBA champions and set the best ever regular-season record of 73–9, breaking the 1995–96 Chicago Bulls record of 72–10.
Golden State broke their franchise record of 28 road wins in a season which they set in 2014–15; they ended the season with 34, passing the same 1995–96 Bulls team led by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen for the most road wins in NBA history. Warriors' head coach, Steve Kerr, has a significant connection to that Bulls team, as he previously served as a point guard during that specific season. Throughout the 2015-16 NBA season, Golden State broke over twenty-five NBA records and more than ten franchise records, including most wins ever recorded in an NBA season ; with 88. However, they lost in the NBA Finals to the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers in seven games, despite initially leading the series with a 3–1 advantage.
