Good morning, AdLand. Here's what you need to know today:

Golden State Warriors forward and former North Carolina standout Harrison Barnes dunks over a fan in the latest ad in Golden State's clever "We Are Warriors" campaign. The campaign, from San Francisco agency Muh-Tay-Zik Hof-fer, shows interactions between the team's players and fans:

Facebook came back at the Princeton University researchers who reached the conclusion that the site was doomed to imminent failure with a similarly contrived "study" suggesting that Princeton would cease to exist by 2021. Those Ivy League rivalries run deep.

Twitter introduced new analytics tools for its Twitter Cards that will allow publishers and developers an opportunity to track the performance of tweets containing their content.

Toyota was the world's biggest automotive seller in 2013, selling 9.98 million vehicles. Volkswagen AG was second with 9.7 million sales.

Food court stalwart Panda Express named Bailey Lauerman its creative agency of record, which seems sort of unnecessary given that the product basically sells itself.
