Warriors Set Record For Most Victories In A Season
Subcribe For More: https://goo.gl/bVWuKG
Coach Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors had largely resisted
acknowledging the importance of his team’s pursuit. For his players, the
number 73 had sparkled for months like a diamond amid the confetti of so
many lopsided wins. They wanted to make history. Kerr was more concerned
with chasing another championship.
On Wednesday, though, with the Warriors preparing to wrap up their regular
season against the Memphis Grizzlies, Kerr recognized the unique
opportunity at hand — an opportunity his players had earned by winning 72
games, by refusing to take nights off, by possessing the work ethic of iron
welders while performing with the deft hands of magicians.
“More than anything,” Kerr said before the game, “I’m proud of our guys for
laying it all out there, all season long, for putting themselves out there
and trying to achieve something that’s never been done before — but more
important, something that is truly great. It’s amazing that our guys have
been able to put themselves in this position.”
The Warriors went on to clobber the Grizzlies, 125-104, for their 73rd win,
setting an N.B.A. record for the most victories in a single season. They
eclipsed the mark that they had shared for three days with the 1995-96
Chicago Bulls.
Another win for the Warriors (73-9) also meant another chance for Stephen
Curry to do ridiculous things. He made 10 3-pointers, giving him 402 for
the season. Having long ago obliterated the record he already held for
3-pointers in a single season, he had sought 400 as a nice round number.
The crowd went ecstatic when he reached the target early in the third
quarter.

Curry finished with 46 points, shooting 15 of 24 from the field, and Klay
Thompson added 16 as the Warriors shot 52.9 percent over all.
The Warriors packed the regular season with firsts, becoming the first team
in league history to open a season with 24 straight victories; the first to
win 34 games on the road; the first to go an entire season without losing
to the same team twice; the first to avoid losing consecutive games; and
now the first to 73.
In the process, the Warriors took care of more menial tasks, like winning
three of four games against the San Antonio Spurs while also handing them
their only home loss of the season. As if the Warriors were not busy enough
assembling their own catalog of achievements, they moonlighted by spoiling
the potential feats of others.
As their victory total grew, so did the number of reporters following the
team. The Warriors issued roughly 350 credentials to the news media for
Wednesday’s game. Fans at Oracle Arena found T-shirts draped over every
seat back with the phrase, “Not on Our Ground.” The game itself was more
celebration than competition.
The Warriors will enter the playoffs as the top seed in the Western
Conference and as the prohibitive favorites to repeat as N.B.A. champions.
“The decision on resting or not, it was a pretty easy decision for me,”
Curry said this week. “I’m not nursing any injuries. I don’t think I put
myself in a position to be a step slow by the playoffs. So why not go out
and take advantage of an opportunity that may not come again?”
The result was that they needed to win their final four games to break the
Bulls’ record, and they did so with style. When the Warriors played in
Memphis on Saturday, they trailed by as many as 10 points in the fourth
quarter before escaping with a 100-99 win. They survived only after the
Grizzlies’ Lance Stephenson launched two colorful misses in the closing
seconds.
Curry recalled going to his father’s games and waiting in the tunnel hoping
to cross paths with Jordan.
“That was just something that was a special time as a kid,” said Curry, who
added that he always tried to emulate Jordan’s competitive drive. “Every
night you could look at his face and know he was never rattled, never
unprepared for the moment.”
Jordan’s teams, Curry said, are remembered because they won titles. All
their gaudy win totals meant little without trophies. So for the Warriors,
work still remains.
“The goal,” Curry said, “is to win a championship.”
