The Golden State Warriors are in danger of relinquishing their most impressive regular season record of 73-9 in 2015-16, given how the Oklahoma City Thunder are playing nowadays.
The defending champions improved to 21-1 after last night’s 124-112 result in San Francisco. After the game, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green said he wouldn’t be surprised if the Oklahoma City Thunder breaks their record.
“It’s hard, man, but I do think they’re capable,” Green explained via NBC Sports Bay Area. “You just need so many things to go right, though. Like health, which they kind of plow right through health, so it really don’t matter. You need a lot of breaks to go your way.
“They’re on the right track. And like I said, they’re more than capable. I think 73 wins took some years off my life. It’s hard. But like I said, they’re capable of a lot,” he added.

The Golden State Warriors, despite losing Jimmy Butler in the first half, tried to mount a late comeback last night. However, the Oklahoma City Thunder responded like a true champion, manufacturing an 18-5 run over the final 4:40 to close out the game.
“They’re 21-1 for a reason,” Kerr said of the Thunder via NBC Sports Bay Area. “Shai is the MVP for a reason. He goes 5 of 6 from three; the step back at the top of the circle was a huge shot. And it’s one you kind of have to live with.”
“You don’t want him getting to the rim. And they made big shots. Isaiah Joe made a corner three. Jalen Williams made a big shot,” he added.
