Before the Warriors won three NBA Championships in four seasons and before Stephen Curry was an All-Star or an MVP, there was the 2013 NBA Playoffs.
The Warriors were making their first playoff appearance since the 2007 ‘We Believe’ team, and they went into the postseason as the No. 6 seed (47-35), taking on a Denver Nuggets (57-25) team that had won 23 of their final 26 regular season games. The Warriors entered the playoffs as an exciting, yet unproven, team with what then Head Coach Mark Jackson proclaimed – controversially at the time – as the greatest shooting backcourt in NBA history, while the Nuggets boasted a team with a solid mix of youth and experience that won 23-straight games on their home court.
