Bulls path to 72 was more impressive than Warriors' run

The Golden State Warriors are looking reasonably decent when compared to the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team that won an NBA record 72 games. But, let’s temper the enthusiasm just a little bit.

Though the Bulls didn’t start 15-0 like these Warriors did, they did start 13-2. And they went from 5-1 to 41-3, which is a 36-2 stretch over 38 games.

What else does it take to get to 72-10?

They did have a big win streak- 18 games- which lasted from Dec. 29 to Feb. 2. They had a four-game stretch within the win streak in which they won by 24, 29, 26 and 27.
