SAN FRANCISCO—The Golden State Warriors have not re-invented basketball nor have they absolutely perfected the way game is played but it’s hard to imagine a team dominating in so many ways as they are in the early stages of the NBA season.
They have the league’s most explosive and diversified offence orchestrated by the current most valuable player and his era-defining skills.
They are as proficient at defence as they are at offence, ranked first in the league by most analytical metrics, a facet of their play often overlooked when compared to the strength of their play at the other end.
