With Stephen Curry taking NBA Most Valuable Player honors and rookie coach Steve Kerr setting the tone, the Golden State Warriors are on the verge of their first title since 1975. The Warriors led the league with a 67-15 record, setting a team record for wins, and used deadly 3-point shooting, skilled passing and persistent defense to ignite a moribund team. Golden State had not won more than one round in the playoffs since taking the title in 1975, and their 40-year gap between trips to the NBA Finals is a league record.
