With no hoops on the calendar, Warriors Wire is rewinding the tape through Golden State’s history for memorable matchups, standout performances and everything else in between. However, the Warriors are expected to be back in Chase Center soon.
After an extended absence from the court, the Golden State Warriors end their eight-month layoff from game action in December. The Warriors are slated to start the 2019-20 campaign on Dec. 22.
With only 72 games on the calendar, how the Warriors start the season will likely play a significant factor in their return to postseason contention.
In 2015, the Warriors started the season on a record-breaking clip.
November 24, 2015
Following a scorching undefeated start to the season after 15 games, the Warriors welcomed Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers to Oracle Arena in late November of 2015.
With the chance to make history, the Warriors delivered a stifling defensive effort to cruise by the Lakers with a 111-77 victory in Oakland.
Stephen Curry tallied a game-high 24 points on 10-of-21 shooting from the field with nine assists, four rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes. Draymond Green added 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field with seven boards, five assists, two blocks and a steal.
Off the bench, Leandro Barbosa tallied 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting with three steals, a block and a steal in 17 minutes for Luke Walton’s rotation.
After surpassing the 1947-48 Washington Capitols and the 1993-94 Houston Rockets in the record books, the Warriors extended their winning streak to a 24-0 record. A 108-95 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks ended Golden State’s impressive streak through the NBA.
