Oakland (United States) (AFP) - The Golden State Warriors blazed to a record 73rd victory of the NBA season, thrashing the Memphis Grizzlies 125-104 to eclipse the 72-win campaign of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry on Wednesday scored 46 points as the reigning champions broke the mark set two decades earlier by that Michael Jordan-led Bulls team, finishing the regular season 73-9.
The chase for the record, launched by the Warriors' 24-0 start to the season, came down to the final game of the campaign and fittingly saw Curry reach yet another once unthinkable milestone as he surpassed 400 three-pointers for the season.
