Last night, the Golden State Warriors defeated the San Antonio Spurs 92-86, handing them their first loss at home the entire season, a pretty astounding feat by the Spurs. Yet, with that said, the game was more special for the Warriors because it was their 72nd win of the season, tying them with the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls.
With one more game left in the season, the Warriors have two days of rest before playing against the Memphis Grizzles and a shot at history. Michael Jordan, who was the centerpiece of the Chicago Bulls dynasty in the 1990s, especially their 72 win season, wants to see his team’s record broken. Speaking with ESPN, Warriors forward Draymond Green shared that Jordan gave him a lot encouragement to break the record.
Mike told me at All-Star, ‘Go win the record. Go get the record. If y’all don’t win this record, I’m going to be hot, and I’m blaming you.
Golden State’s showdown with the Grizzles on Wednesday night will definitely be one of the most watched regular season games in recent memory. For what its worth, the Grizzles are not pushovers, as they almost walked away with a victory last Saturday against the Warriors in a game that came down to the final seconds.
