The Warriors were led by superstar center Wilt Chamberlain and renowned playmaker Guy Rodgers, both of whom were named to their second-consecutive all-star games during the season. The Warriors were also aided by rookie draft pick Nate Thurmond as well as veterans Tom Meschery and Al Attles, and were coached by newcomer Alex Hannum. The Warriors won 48 games in the regular season, and beat the St. Louis Hawks in a tough seven-game series during the conference finals to advance to the NBA Finals, in only their second season as a San Francisco team. They were ousted in five games by the Boston Celtics in the NBA Championship.
