Warriors match NBA record 33rd road win in thriller
The Golden State Warriors tied the NBA record by winning their 33rd road game of the season Saturday, knocking off the Memphis Grizzlies 100-99.
The Chicago Bulls are the only other team to collect 33 road victories in a season, setting the mark during their infamous 72-win campaign.
The Warriors have the opportunity to break the record for road victories Sunday in arguably the most significant regular season game in NBA history. Golden State (71-9) will face the San Antonio Spurs, who can become the first team to go 41-0 by winning their final two games at the AT&T Center.
Saturday's win also brings Golden State one step closer to reaching 73 victories, needing to win their final two contests to make history. If the Warriors win Sunday, they can break the record with a win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
