Golden State Warriors Begins Season With A Record-Breaking Start to 2024-25 Season

October 26, 2024 – The Golden State Warriors are once again making headlines, and this time, it’s for a historic achievement after just two games into the 2024-25 NBA season. With back-to-back wins featuring both offensive explosions and defensive prowess, the Warriors have set a league record, becoming the first team in NBA history to start a season by scoring over 140 points in two consecutive games while holding opponents under 100 points each time. Their performances have not only captivated fans but have also reasserted their potential dominance as a top title contender.

Led by their iconic trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, the Warriors’ offense has been nothing short of explosive. In the season opener against the Sacramento Kings, the Warriors poured in 143 points, with Curry dropping 40 points and hitting 10 three-pointers. Klay Thompson added 25 points, showing that the “Splash Brothers” are still very much in sync. The Warriors shot an incredible 56% from the field, including a scorching 47% from beyond the arc. On the defensive side, they held the Kings to just 95 points, capitalizing on Green’s leadership and newly acquired center Kevon Looney’s shot-blocking ability.

The next night, Golden State faced the Los Angeles Clippers and replicated their dominance. Curry and Thompson combined for 68 points, while forward Andrew Wiggins contributed a crucial 22 points. The Warriors again shot over 50% from three-point range, ending the night with a 141-98 blowout victory. Their intense defensive efforts kept the Clippers to just 39% shooting from the field and forced 18 turnovers, allowing Golden State to extend its lead early and control the game throughout.

This remarkable start speaks to head coach Steve Kerr’s refined approach this season, balancing the fast-paced, high-scoring style that has defined the Warriors while enhancing their defense, thanks to the addition of versatile players like veteran Chris Paul and up-and-comers like Jonathan Kuminga. The Warriors’ roster depth is also showing, with strong bench contributions from Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, and rookies filling in seamlessly when the stars rest. The bench depth allows Kerr to keep high defensive intensity without sacrificing offensive efficiency, making the Warriors more versatile and unpredictable.

This two-game display not only sets a record but also sends a clear message to the league: the Warriors, though seasoned, still have plenty of firepower left and have the personnel to push for another championship. For a team that has won four titles in the past decade, each season comes with high expectations, but this early history-making run may signal an even stronger commitment to chasing glory.

NBA analysts are already buzzing, noting how this version of the Warriors seems to merge the explosiveness of their peak years with a newfound defensive grit. “They’re playing with a chip on their shoulder,” says former player and analyst Shaquille O’Neal. “They’re making a statement: don’t count them out.”

As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how far the Warriors can take this momentum. For now, though, the 2024-25 Warriors have already etched their names in the history books, proving once again that Golden State is a force to be reckoned with.
