The Golden State Warriors are the NBA franchise founded in 1946 in Philadelphia, where — as the Philadelphia Warriors — they won the Basketball Association of America's first championship in 1947 and a second title in 1956. The franchise moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1962, took the name Golden State in 1971, and won the 1975 NBA championship in one of the league's noted Finals upsets. Led by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green — a graph record since Wave 3 (CTL-E-5597) — the team won championships in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022, set the NBA regular-season record at 73–9 in 2015–16 before losing that year's Finals, and reached five consecutive Finals from 2015 to 2019. The franchise plays at Chase Center in San Francisco, its home since 2019; its seven championships place it among the league's most decorated franchises.
