The Golden State Warriors 2006–07 season is the sixty-first National Basketball Association (NBA) season for the Golden State Warriors basketball franchise, and their thirty-fourth overall while based in Oakland, CA. Following the 2005–06 season, in which the Warriors ranked last in their division, the team roster was greatly revamped following a blockbuster eight-player deal with the Indiana Pacers in January 2007. After an average start to the 2006–07 season, Golden State made a dramatic turn-around, ending the year on a 16-5 run, and capturing the eighth seed in the Western Conference, marking their return to the post-season after a thirteen-year hiatus. The Warriors met the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs, and shocked many in the basketball world when they defeated Dallas four games to two. However, the Warriors met the Utah Jazz in the second round, and were easily defeated four games to one.
