In the enchanting world of NBA lore, the Warriors conquered the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson rained majestic three-point shots, as usual, and Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen promptly took a seat.
Seventy-two wins is the record no more.
The Warriors won No. 73, punctuating a season-long stampede through the world of professional basketball. They steamed to a 125-104 victory over Memphis at raucous Oracle Arena, emphatically securing the NBA record for most wins in a season.
Golden State finished 73-9 to eclipse the standard previously held by the 1995-96 Bulls (at 72-10), led by Jordan and Pippen.
