With a victory in San Antonio on Sunday night, the Golden State Warriors earned their 72nd win, tying the record held by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls for most wins in a season.
The Warriors defeated the Spurs 92-86, led by Stephen Curry with 37 points. The last time the Warriors beat the Spurs in San Antonio was Feb. 14, 1997, and before their loss on Sunday, the Spurs had won 48 consecutive regular season games at home. The Warriors will play the Memphis Grizzlies at home on Wednesday in their final game of the season. If the Warriors win, they'll finish 73-9, and break the Bulls' record.
