Warriors win 70th game of season, close in on Bulls' all-time record
The Golden State Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs 112-101 on Thursday night, improving their league-best record to 70-9, and closing in on the all-time record of 72-10, set by Michael Jordan's 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. If the Warriors win their final three games — two against the injury-hobbled Memphis Grizzlies, and one more in San Antonio, where the Spurs are 39-0 at home this year — they'll break the Bulls' record. "Two teams in the history of this game have reached where we are right now," said Warriors star Stephen Curry, a lock to win his second straight MVP award. "It's a proud moment and something that should be recognized."
