The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in Oakland,

California. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member
club of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division. The team was established in 1946 as
the Philadelphia Warriors based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a founding member of the
Basketball Association of America (BAA), and it won the inaugural 1947 BAA Finals that is now
considered the first NBA Championship.[b]
In 1962, the franchise relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and was renamed as the San
Francisco Warriors until 1971, when it changed its geographic moniker to Golden State,
California's state nickname.[3][c] Since 1972, the team's home court has been Oracle Arena in
Oakland.
The Warriors hold the record for most wins by one team in a regular season with 73. They broke
a 20-year-old NBA record (previously held by the Chicago Bulls) by finishing the 201516
regular season with a W-L record of 739.[4]
The Warriors have won four NBA championships. They most recently won the NBA
championship by defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2015 Finals.
