So glad the Warriors lost they don’t deserve to beat the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls record. GO SPURS GO!
But Golden State is on track to at least tie that legendary Chicago team. I think they’re gonna do it.
I agree I also think they’re very likely to at least tie that Bulls team and they’re a game ahead of the Bullies right now so they might just beat it. It depends on the way they finish the season as far as resting guys for the playoffs go.
