MANILA, Philippines - Magic was in the air at the Alamodome as the Golden State Warriors moved to within one win of a singular place in history with a win over the San Antonio Spurs.
The Warriors won their 72nd game with a 92-86 victory over the Spurs on Sunday, April 10 (US time), giving them a shot at breaking the Bulls' '95-96 regular season record when they meet the Memphis Grizzlies in the season finale later this week.
Defending MVP Stephen Curry scored 37 points, but could have tallied a clean 40 had a shot from the Spurs' 3-point line at the end of the third quarter beat the buzzer. Still, it was an unbelievable visual.
Then again, Curry highlights are becoming increasingly harder to be impressed by due to their regularity, as pointed out by New York radio host Robin Lundberg who said: "Curry bank shots shouldn't count anyhow. That's cheating."
Looking for a Curry highlight that did count? Here's Curry dribbling around the entire Spurs team and then looping around for a layup.
