The Golden State Warriors clinched their third straight Pacific Division title on Thursday following their victory over the Orlando Magic.
Splash Brothers Steph Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 54 points in the win as Golden State blew out the Magic 122-92.
Golden State already clinched the earliest berth in NBA history last month, beating their own record by two days.
It's just the fifth time in the franchise's history that they've won the Pacific Division, going 39 years without a title at one point.
The Warriors now sit a game-and-a-half over the San Antonio Spurs for the No. 1 seed in the West, winning their last two contests following last week's three-game losing skid.
