It’s been an absolutely phenomenal start for the Golden State Warriors.

Coming off a wild road victory over the Brooklyn Nets, who were preseason title favorites, the Warriors were thought to be in a perfect spot for a letdown game, and after the first quarter, it looked likely.

The Golden State Warriors have the NBA’s best record, sitting at 13-2, and there are many clear and obvious reasons as to why they’re dominating.

Playing a severely injured Cleveland Cavaliers, the Warriors struggled out the gate as near ten-point favorites. They played like the best team in the NBA in their last quarter, covering the spread with their 15-point victory despite entering the quarter down double digits.

They are the best team in the NBA, and they continue to prove it. The Warriors are the only team in the NBA without three losses. They’ve been defeated by the Charlotte Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies, both close, hard-fought battles.

They’re now 2-1 in their road trip. They cap their four-game stint away from the Chase Center with a game against the Pistons. Ending 3-1 on the trip that included Charlotte, Brooklyn, and Cleveland is extremely impressive.

That said, the Warriors have been, by far, the best team in the NBA through 15 games. Let’s dive into a few numbers proving just that.
