In the 1955-56 season, the Warriors once again made it through to the finals of the NBA Championship. They defeated the Fort Wayne Pistons 4-1 in the finals and acquired the NBA championship for the second time.
In the 1974-75 season, the Warriors won their only championship on the west coast. With the likes of Rick Barry, Jamaal Wilkes, and Phil Smith, the Warriors went on to defeat the Washington Bullets and achieved their third NBA championship title.
In the 2006-2007 season, the Warriors played their first playoffs after a long period of 13 years. They beat the Dallas Mavericks in the first game of the playoffs but later were crushed down in the 2nd game.
Then the Warriors found their strength and bounced back in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th by winning the series 3-2. On May 3, 2007, once again the Warriors beat the Mavericks and became the only 8th-seeded team in the history of the NBA to beat the 1st-seeded team.
This was the Warriors first playoff series win in 16 years.
