The 2016-17 Golden State Warriors were on a mission. Just one season earlier, the defending NBA Champions had embarked on a historic campaign that saw them win a league record 73 games and storm through the Western Conference Playoffs before surging to within just one elusive victory of a second straight crown at the 2016 NBA Finals. Disappointed but not broken, the Warriors would regroup, strengthened by the off-season addition of four-time NBA Scoring Champion, Kevin Durant. This talented core group with two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry, All-Stars Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, as well as the 2015 Finals MVP Andre Iguodala, helped transform Head Coach Steve Kerr's squad on another memorable historic pursuit. Golden State piled up win after wind own the stretch, setting an NBA record with 12 consecutive post-season victories to advance to the NBA Finals and a third consecutive showdown with the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James. But this time, the Warriors were not to be denied. Relive the championship run from the first day of training camp and go behind the scenes with exclusive access to the team.
