Warriors tie Bulls record with 72nd win, end Spurs' home streak
Warriors have one more game to beat the Bulls' record
The Golden State Warriors got a momentous victory in the one place they hadn't won in nearly two decades.
Now, they're one victory away from topping Michael Jordan and the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
Stephen Curry had 37 points and the Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs 92-86 on Sunday night for their 72nd victory, tying Jordan's Bulls for the season record.
"We can get to 73," forward Draymond Green said. "That's the significance for me of 72."
The defending champions will finish the regular season at home against Memphis on Wednesday night.
"Obviously, we're in the moment, enjoying the ride," Curry said. "The goal is to win a championship. That's the goal. But we put ourselves in a great position to end the season with a win and do something no team has done in the history. That's an amazing accomplishment."
The Warriors got No. 72 by doing what nobody else had this season - beating the Spurs in San Antonio.
The Spurs had won 48 consecutive regular-season games at home, including an NBA-record 39 straight to this season. Golden State also ended a 33-game skid in San Antonio that dated to 1997.
"Definitely sweet because we broke the streak," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. "That's all the media would talk about for the last few years. It's tough to win here. It definitely was huge for us."
