OAKLAND -- The Warriors are halfway to history after beating the Miami Heat 111-103 at Oracle Arena on Monday night for their 36th victory of the season.
Led by 31 points from Stephen Curry, Golden State improved to 36-2 in pursuit of the Chicago Bulls' 1995-96 NBA record total of 72 victories. The Warriors must win 37 of their final 44 games to eclipse the standard set by Michael Jordan and his teammates.The victory was the Warriors' 36th straight in a regular-season home game, equaling the 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers for the fourth-longest streak in league history. Golden State has not lost a regular-season game on its home floor since an overtime defeat to Chicago last Jan.
