The biggest story of the NBA's regular season has reached its resolution. It ends with the Golden State Warriors holding a 73-9 record, a new league record for wins in a single season.
The Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 125-104 at Oracle Arena on Wednesday to end the season on a four-game winning streak that puts them one win ahead of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls
for the new mark. If the Warriors can repeat as champions, they will
certainly be remembered as one of the greatest teams in NBA history and
will be considered a budding dynasty.
This final win concludes a thrilling regular season for Golden State in
which they dominated the NBA landscape. They started the season with a record 24 victories in a row, continued a home winning streak that ended with an all-time high 54 straight
at Oracle Arena, became the second team to win 70 games in one season
and 65 games in consecutive seasons (and the only one to improve on a
65-win season), and avoided losing two straight games for the first time
in league history. They also did it with a style that won fans all over
the basketball world, thanks in large part to the dominance of
presumptive back-to-back MVP Stephen Curry.
