71-9! Warriors rally from 10 down to beat Grizzlies 100-99
One record matched, one more to go for the Golden State Warriors. Draymond Green scored on a tip-in in with 1 minute left, and the Warriors rallied from 10 points down early in the fourth quarter and beat the Memphis Grizzlies 100-99 on Saturday night to tie at least one NBA record held by the 1995-96 Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. Golden State now has 33 road wins, tying those Bulls, who went 33-8 away from Chicago. The Warriors (71-9) visit the Spurs on Sunday night, and their next win will tie the Bulls' NBA...

Clearly drained Warriors escape with 71st win: 5 things to know
The Golden State Warriors escaped FedEx Forum with a 100-99 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, improving to 71-9 on the season. They are two victories away from breaking the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls' record for regular-season wins, and they should feel quite fortunate. For whatever reason, they have not looked like the same team for a few weeks. Golden State ended the game on a 20-9 run and was led by Draymond Green's 23 points on 10-for-14 shooting, plus 11 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and a steal. Warriors star Stephen Curry scored just 17 points on 7-for-22 shooting, missing 11 of his 14 3-point attempts, but he had nine rebounds and eight assists. The gritty Grizzlies...

NBA: Warriors rival Jordan's Bulls for greatest season
Oakland, United States, June 11, 2016 (AFP) - One victory shy of defending their NBA title, the Golden State Warriors might just be on the verge of completing the greatest season in the league's 70-year history. A triumph over Cleveland in Monday's fifth game of the best-of-seven NBA Finals would give Golden State a repeat crown to cap a campaign that had the best start in league history, 24-0, and saw the Warriors win a record 73 regular-season games, one more than the old mark of the Michael Jordan-led 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. "I never in a million years would have guessed that record would be broken," said Steve Kerr, the Golden State coach who won his first NBA title as a guard on that...

NBA: Record-setting Warriors aim for back-to-back titles
LOS ANGELES: The Golden State Warriors etched their name in the NBA's record book with an epic 73-win regular-season and head into the playoffs seeking a championship repeat to cement their status among the greatest teams in league history. "Who knows how far we can take this thing?" the Warriors' sharp-shooting superstar Stephen Curry said after Golden State eclipsed the single-season record of 72 wins set by the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls of 1995-96. But Curry and the rest of the Warriors know the astonishing achievement will count for little if they can't go on, as the Bulls did, to win it all.

The Golden State Warriors Are the Greatest NBA Team Ever
Nov. 19, 2015—The Golden State Warriors, reigning NBA champions, beat the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center in L.A., 124-117, running their record to 13-0. Down 23 in the first half, the Warriors outscore the Clippers 70-49 in the second, shooting a ridiculous 8-for-9 from behind the three-point line in the fourth quarter.

Warriors' young stars embrace chance at record 73 wins
