Warriors make NBA history as first team to start season 16-0
Warriors beat Lakers 111-77
The defending champions set the record for best start in league history at 16-0, as Curry had 24 points and nine assists in a 111-77 rout of the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
With their coach sidelined, the Warriors surpassed the 15-0 starts by the Washington Capitols of 1948-49 and the 1993-94 Houston Rockets.
Confetti streamed down when the final buzzer sounded and Golden State's players barely celebrated.
"It's a special accomplishment any time you can do something that hasn't been done before," Curry said. "It's not going to be total dominance for 82 games."
Draymond Green added 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists as the Warriors extended their franchise-record home winning streak to 27 games with coach Steve Kerr watching from behind the scenes while recovering from complications following two back surgeries.
