Share

The 1995-96 Bulls are no longer the only team to win 72 games in a single season.

The Warriors matched the NBA's all-time record for wins in a regular season with their 72nd win of the year Sunday night, defeating the Spurs, 92-86, in San Antonio.

With one regular-season game remaining on their schedule, the Warriors can break the '96 Bulls' all-time record and set a new mark with 73 victories. Golden State takes on the Memphis Grizzlies in its regular-season finale on Wednesday in Oakland.

In Sunday's win, reigning league MVP Steph Curry scored a game-high 37 points. The Warriors also ended the Spurs' pursuit of another NBA record, with San Antonio losing for the first time at home this season.

The Warriors are looking not only to set a new record for regular-season wins but also to repeat as NBA champions.
