Golden State Warriors Tie NBA Record With 72nd Win Of Season

The Golden State Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, 92-86, tying the NBA record held by the Michael Jordan's 1995-'96 Chicago Bulls for most wins in the regular season, with 72. Stephen Curry poured in a game-high 37 points for the Warriors. The Warriors (72-9) will get a chance to break the record Wednesday in their final regular-season game, when they face the Memphis Grizzlies at home. With Sunday's win, the Warriors snapped a 33-game losing streak in San Antonio, dating back to 1997, and also dealt the Spurs their first home loss of the season, denying them a chance at setting an NBA record of their own. The Warriors also set an NBA record for most road wins in a season (34) and became the first team to ever go through a season without losing consecutive games.
