Warriors set NBA record, win 73rd game of season

The best single-season record in NBA history belongs to Golden State. The most prolific long-range shooting year in the history of the game has been turned in by Stephen Curry.

And now, the Warriors can turn their attention toward back-to-back championships.


The Warriors won their record 73rd game of the season Wednesday night, getting 46 points from Curry and beating the Memphis Grizzlies 125-104. Golden State’s 73-9 mark tops the previous best of 72-10 set by the Chicago Bulls in 1995-96.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr played for that Bulls team, and now has taken Golden State past that mark. “I never thought anyone would break it,” Kerr said.

Curry made 10 3-pointers, giving him 402 for the season – 116 more than what was the NBA record he established a year ago.What others are clicking on:
