New book details the science and skill that built the Warriors dynasty

The Warriors are good at basketball. The Golden State Warriors stand astride the entire NBA, a merciless, point-hoarding, championship-generating machine with Finals reservations seemingly booked in every June from here until the heat death of the universe. It seems impossible to remember now, given the gargantuan shadow that Golden State casts over the entire NBA, but there was a time not so long ago — six years, to be exact — that the Warriors weren't even an NBA joke.
