The Golden State Warriors are the best team in basketball.
They proved it last year -- electrifying fans by winning 67 games (out of 82) and then grabbing their first National Basketball Association championship in four decades. They did it again this year by winning 73 games in the regular season, an all-time NBA record. That history-making achievement served notice: Last year was no fluke.
The success of the Warriors, who beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-89 last night in the first game of the finals, can partly be attributed to a five-year bet on technology. The wager has helped transform a perennial cellar dweller into an annual contender.
