NBA-Warriors top Spurs for record-tying 72nd win

April 10 (The Sports Xchange) - There are records and then there are monumental records.

The quest for one record was thwarted Sunday when the Golden State Warriors beat San Antonio 92-86 to end the Spurs' chance of completing the first undefeated home schedule in NBA history.

However, the Warriors' victory kept alive their pursuit of setting the NBA's single-season win mark. The defending champions cemented their place as one of the greatest teams in league history.

The Warriors (72-9) matched the victory total of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. Golden State can set a new mark with a home win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, the season's final night.
