The Curry Flurry Fuels the Golden State Warriors Record Winning Season


This year’s NBA scoring champion Stephen Curry had 46 points tonight, despite missing his 19th fourth quarter of the season. The Warriors rolled to a 125-104 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies who will face the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of this year’s playoffs.

Curry sank 286 three pointers last season, an NBA record. He shattered his own record this season with 402 three pointers made, (Comcast Sports Network) including more than eight in tonight’s record setting win. As a team, the Warriors not only had the best record in the 70 years of the NBA at 73-9, the team also finished the season as the only team in NBA history to go an entire season without back to back losses.

The road Warriors also set the NBA record for most road wins in a single season with a 34-7 mark. Their 39-2 home record tied last year’s franchise record for home wins. The San Antonio Spurs set the all-time NBA record for home wins this year with a 40-1 record. The Warriors were the lone team to beat the Spurs on their court. (CSN)
