While it may offer little consolation, by losing to the Kings in the play-in tournament, the Warriors became one of the best teams ever to miss the playoffs. Their 46-36 regular season record ranks No. 6 all-time among non-playoff squad.
The ranking is dominated by Western Conference squads, with Phoenix Suns teams occupying the top two spots.
