They were definitely already thinking about it during their alone time.
There were even whispers between players during quiet times.
But interim head coach Luke Walton on Friday night finally gave the Warriors the full go-ahead to talk about chasing the best start in league history and the mandate “to go get” the record.
“We talked about it,” Walton said. “We hadn’t talked about it at all yet, but we’re close enough now. Let’s try to go get that best start ever.”
The league’s best-ever start of 15-0 was set by the Washington Capitols in 1948 and matched by the Houston Rockets in 1993.
