Warriors closer to 73-9 record after handing Spurs’ first home loss

LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines – The Golden State Warriors entered the invincible fortress of the team many expect to be their biggest challengers to a championship repeat and came out hands held high in victory, a win away from marking their own territory in NBA history.

Led by another superb performance by reigning NBA MVP Steph Curry, Golden State handed San Antonio its first loss at home this season and improved to a 72-9 record, 92-86, on Sunday, April 10 (Monday, April 11 in the Philippines).

With a victory in their regular season finale against Memphis, Golden State will finish with a 73-9 record that would break the 1996 Chicago Bulls (72-10) record and become the best in league history.

San Antonio, which is now 65-15 for the season, fell to 40-1 at the AT&T Center, with their goal of becoming the first team to go undefeated at home now out of reach. If the Spurs beat the OKC Thunder in their home finale, they will tie the 1986 Boston Celtics (40-1) for best home record in a regular season. – Rappler.com
