Game 6 will take place Thursday night back in Indy. NBA-WARRIORS Back to San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Golden State Warriors apparently left their hearts in San Francisco.

The Warriors hope to build an arena at the waterfront site near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and just blocks from the Giants' ballpark. Club owners have been working to return the team to the City by the Bay since buying the Warriors for a league-record $450 million in 2010. The Warriors played in San Francisco from 1962 to 1971.
