Golden State Warriors use Google Cloud to up their game

American professional basketball team Golden State Warriors will use Google Cloud’s data-crunching technology to improve the performance of the players. Apart from improving their game on court, the NBA champions will also use Google Cloud to track analytics to crunch scouting reports and better rope in athletes. According to Google Cloud, this data can easily be shared with coaches, staff and players. It is also reported that the basketball team is planning to host a mobile app on the Google Cloud platform. This app -- which will be developed by the Warriors and Accenture -- will leverage Google Cloud technologies, such as App Engine and Firebase, for personalisation and Maps to support navigation. The app will also allow Warriors’ fans to find their seats.
