2002–03 Golden State Warriors season

The 2002–03 NBA season was the Warriors' 57th season in the National Basketball Association, and 41st in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the 2002 NBA draft, the Warriors had the third overall pick and selected Mike Dunleavy Jr. out of Duke University. In November, the team signed free agent Earl Boykins. Under new head coach Eric Musselman, the Warriors got off to a slow start losing six of their first seven games. However, they began to show signs of life by winning six straight games between February and March. For the first time in nearly a decade, the Warriors reached the .500 mark late in the season with a 30–30 record as of March 4. However, they would win just eight of their final 22 games to finish sixth in the Pacific Division with a 38–44 record.
