With the record in hand, how do the Warriors compare to the '96 Bulls?
The record has been broken. But that's not stopping comparisons from being drawn between the Warriors and the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls.

The record has been broken. But that's not stopping comparisons from being drawn between the Warriors and the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls.

73 is the magic number.

The Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzles last night,  to claim the record for most wins in the regular season  

This honor was previously held by the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls of 1996.

Earlier I spoke with Tim Bontemps, National NBA writer for the Washington Post

He says that there is no doubt about it: if the Warriors win the Championship, they'll go down as the greatest team in the history of the NBA. If not, well... It was still a pretty amazing run.
