5 Best NBA Teams from the 2010s

#1 Golden State Warriors, 2016-17

2017 NBA Finals - Game Five

Playoff starting lineup (without injuries) - Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Zaza Pachulia

Other than the Boston Celtics from 2008-11, no other team has had the luxury of 4 All Stars on the same squad, and even the Celtics' All Stars included a young Rajon Rondo and 3 aging stars on the wrong side of 30 with their best days behind them.

The Warriors ran riot on the Western Conference, completing series sweeps against the Portland TrailBlazers in the first round and Utah Jazz in the Conference Semifinals before meeting the Spurs in the Conference Finals.

Kawhi's Spurs led the Warriors by a good 20+ point margin till the 3rd quarter of Game 1, when Zaza Pachulia took up Kawhi's landing space and forced him off the floor and out of the playoffs with an ankle injury. The Warriors made no mistake from there on, putting the game and the series to bed with another sweep to become the first team in the best-of-7-in-the-first-round era to emerge from the Conference playoffs with an unbeaten record.

Facing the Cavaliers in the Finals, they racked up huge wins in Games 1 and 2, before staging a 4th quarter comeback late in Game 3 to win 15 consecutive playoff games. They would've finished the job in Game 4 but for a Finals record performance from the Cavs, who shot 45 and made 24 of their 3-pointers to win 137-116 at the Quicken Loans Arena.

The Warriors, however, finished the job off at the Oracle Arena with a 129-120 win to win the series 4-1 and finish the playoffs with the best playoff winning percentage of all time at 94.1%. Kevin Durant was named Finals MVP after averaging over 35 points per game on 55/47/93 shooting splits over the 5-game series.
