2013–14 Golden State Warriors season

The 2013–14 Golden State Warriors season was the 68th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 52nd anniversary of their time in the San Francisco Bay Area. Alongside as well as being their 42nd year at Oakland Arena. They finished the regular season with a record of 51–31, clinching the sixth seed in the Western Conference. This was three wins under their projected wins of 54-28. By reaching the 50-win milestone, the Warriors ended the second-longest 50-win drought in the league, behind Washington, which last won 50 games in 1978-79.The Warriors finished the year at a season-high 20 games above .500, their most games above the .500 mark since finishing the 1991-92 season with a 55-27 record. Part of the reason the Warriors were able to get to 50 wins this season was their success on the road. The Warriors tied a franchise record by winning 24 games away from home this season finishing with a 24-17 record on the road for their eighth winning road record in team history.  Golden State followed up last season’s 47-35 run with a 51-31 mark this year, giving the franchise back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 2006-07 (42-40) and 2007-08 (48-34). In the playoffs, the Warriors faced the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round, and lost in seven games. Prior to their breakout season the next year and the subsequent dynasty years that followed and lasted until the end of the decade, this was the last season that the Warriors would fail to qualify for the NBA Finals until 2020, as well as the last season that the Warriors would get eliminated in the playoffs before the NBA Finals until 2023.

Following the season, Mark Jackson was dismissed as the Warriors head coach, and Steve Kerr became the new head coach.
