The Warriors' fourth game against the Spurs was also extremely anxious, with 30 seconds left in regular time, Klay Thompson made a key shot to drag the game into overtime, in overtime, the Spurs' offense suddenly short-circuited, and only Danny Green made a three-pointer in 5 minutes of play, and no more points were scored, while the Warriors scored 13 points with all their players, and finally the Warriors defeated the Spurs 97-87 to tie the score again.

In this game, both teams did not shoot well, the Spurs were 35.5%, while the Warriors were 38.0%, the Spurs Ginobili scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks The best performance of the team, Duncan scored 19 points and 15 rebounds, but the shooting was only 7 of 22, the Warriors Barnes scored 26 points and 10 rebounds on 9-of-26 shooting, Curry scored 22 points and 6 rebounds, and Boggart scored 5 points and 18 rebounds, Jarrett Jack played 37 minutes off the bench and finished with 24 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

In the last sixth game, the Warriors still did not make much achievements on offense, the shooting percentage of the whole game was less than 40%, Curry only got 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists on 25 shots, Thompson only exchanged 10 points for 12 shots, Jack scored 15 points, Landry scored 11 points and 6 rebounds, and the Spurs' starting five Tigers all scored double-doubles, Ginobili scored 5 points on 1-of-6 shooting but handed out 11 assists and grabbed 6 rebounds, and finally the Warriors lost the sixth game 82-94, Thus ending the season's journey.

The Spurs are recognized as an old powerhouse, and they can really test the composition of a team, compared with the regular season, Curry and Thompson are limited by the Spurs' team defense, and their performance has dropped significantly compared to the regular season, while Harris Barnes is beginning to emerge, although the same shooting rate is not high but dare to shoot, becoming the most stable firepower point outside the two major shots, Jack and Landry on the bench are as stable as ever on the offensive end, but they don't do much on the defensive end, Boggart played the role of the anchor, but was also miserable on the offensive end, with Draymond Green still versatile, but not efficient on the offensive end, and David Lee, Richard Jefferson, Bazemore, Biedrins and Ezeli were completely discarded.

In the offseason, the Warriors made another strong signing, sending Richard Jefferson, Andries Biedrins and Brandon Rush to the Jazz, the Jazz sent Randy Foye to the Nuggets, and the Warriors got Andre Iguodala and Kevin Murphy, the latter of whom was cut by the Warriors within a month, while Iguodala was offered a four-year, $48 million contract by the Warriors.

Iguodala is nicknamed "Little AL", was originally the leader of the 76ers Iverson in the later era, and was later abandoned because of his lack of scoring ability, although Iguodala is not strong in offensive desire, but he is a representative figure of the all-round forward in the league, the defensive ability is very outstanding, the leadership temperament in the early years is not outstanding, and he only has the right to speak in the locker room after working hard in the league for a few years, Iguodala can average 9.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season,

The Warriors' road to reinforcement continues, and they signed center Marris Speights, who averaged 6.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, to a three-year, $11 million contract, and Jermaine O'Neal, who averaged just 7.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in the new season, and played a huge role in the injury troubles of Boggart and David Lee. In January, the Warriors sent Tony Douglas to Jordan Crawford and Marshon Brooks, a player who was very famous in college but didn't mix well in the NBA. He averaged 8.4 points per game and shot a low percentage from the field in the new season, so he did not receive a contract from the Warriors at the end of the season, and Marshon Brooks was sent to the Los Angeles Lakers a month later with Kent Bazemore, where he was acquired by veteran point guard Steve Blake, who averaged 4.4 points and 3.6 assists per game in the Warriors' system.

This season, Curry averaged 24.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game, Klay Thompson officially became the team's second leader, averaging 18.1 points per game, and David Lee averaged 18.2 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, which allowed them to get a full 51 wins, but in the West that year, every team was a luxury roster, and although the Warriors could rank third in the East, they could only finish sixth in the West. In the playoffs, their first-round opponent was the Los Angeles Clippers led by Doug Rivers.

At that time, the Clippers had the league's No. 1 point guard Chris Paul, the division was the sharpshooter JJ Redick, the brutalist interior Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan sat on the inside, and there was a "super sixth man" Jamal Crawford on the bench, and other players such as Matt Barnes, Darren Collisson, Glenn Davis, Danny Granger, and Sido Turkoglou are also very strong players. Balanced inside and out, with a championship-caliber book, injuries to Chris Paul, JJ Redick and Crawford have led to a drop to third place in the West this season.

The first game between the two teams was very dramatic, one minute and 30 seconds before the end, Griffin hit two free throws to help the Clippers tie the score at 105, and the subsequent game was spent in a "clanging" iron sound, Draymond Green hit the iron with three points, Griffin shot the iron, and still didn't put the basketball in the basket after grabbing the rebound in the front court, Paul stole Klay Thompson, Darren Collison dribbled and sent the Warriors a gift, Curry hit the iron again, at this time, it was Collison who stood up to break the deadlock, His team Draymond Green fouled the latter to the free throw line, Green made both free throws to stretch the score to 107:105 in the final 24 seconds before the end, and then Paul made a mistake to give the Warriors a second big gift, with only 14 seconds left, Matt Barnes hurried Harrison Barnes to foul, Harrison made one of two free throws, the Warriors led by 3 points at 108:105, the Clippers had 12 seconds to kill, Mark Jackson adopted a more conservative tactic and came back from a timeout, The Warriors' Klay Thompson fouled Chris Paul and traded two points for valuable possession, and that's when a miracle happened! Chris Paul, who has shot 86% of his free throws this season, missed two free throws at a critical moment! Give up the ball to the Warriors again! Looking back, Matt Barnes immediately fouled Draymond Green, and Green missed both free throws as well! Luckily, Chris Paul's final three-pointer was missed, and the Warriors won the dramatic battle.

Paul's play in this game was actually very good, 28 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals on 10-of-23 shooting, except for 6 turnovers and two missed free throws at the last moment, everything was perfect, but unfortunately the mistakes at the last moment wiped out his efforts throughout the court, sharpshooter JJ Redick scored 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting, Griffin was troubled by fouls all over the court, and played for 19 minutes scattered and scored 16 points, Jordan scored 11 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, But there were as many as 7 turnovers, Warriors Thompson scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists on 7-of-20 shooting, David Lee performed very well in this game, scoring 20 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 turnovers on 8-of-13 shooting, and did not fall behind in the interior competition with the Clippers, Stephen Curry scored 14 points and 7 assists on 6-of-16 shooting, and he also made 7 turnovers, Jermaine O'Neal started the game, scoring 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting, Iguodala made his first trip to the playoffs with eight points and three assists on 3-of-6 shooting, while Harrison Barnes added 14 points and eight rebounds on 4-of-11 shooting.
