Historical Warriors: 72 victories. Immortality is one step away – La Gazzetta dello Sport

Steph Curry and Draymond Green hug as soon as the victory of San Antonio becomes reality. They look with the air of someone who has done it, and it is exactly that: Golden State has just made history, becoming only the second team ever with 72 wins in the regular season. As the Bulls of Michael Jordan 1995-96 version, such an incredible achievement that no one, in 20 years, had never approached.



The Warriors They may even improve it: Wednesday close the season at home against Memphis, and winning in front of their audience can become the best team ever. On 92-86 with which Golden State goes to San Antonio for the first time since Feb. 14, 1997 is the trademark of Steph Curry: the mvp of yesterday and tomorrow is 37 points, 26 of them at a later time in the unreal which alone has destroyed the best defense in circulation. The indigestible menu with which Curry stuns opponents is always the same: improbable triple and penetrations after crazy rallies near the iron. But it is impossible to stop it: the Spurs do come up with their first home defeat of the season. Farewell perfect year at home (would be the first in history), but you know that in Popovich another matter.

record – pending chasing immortality, Golden State takes two firsts: 34 away wins, records torn right at the Bulls 1995-96, and the first team in history to close a season without two straight losses. And ‘confidence, the desire to legend who has made a difference in the Warriors of recent times, able to stand up by two slaps taken from Boston and Minnesota in the house, to convince coach Kerr, the only man to be part of both teams 72 victories in NBA history (of those Bulls was a key reserve 8.4 points per game), who chase the story was more important than the rest for the playoffs.

And ‘the mental strength of the Warriors that brought them to this record, that winning mentality conveyed by Kerr and exemplifies golf Draymond Green and Curry, the first to speak of the Bulls record and those who have He dragged his companions in these 72 hits. “We enjoy the moment, but our goal remains the title” said Steph ecstatic after the game, the ball of the match closely to the body like a relic from which they separated again.

Game – it served the best Curry Golden State to move to San Antonio, especially after 4/19 shooting of a first quarter to just 14 points. But the Spurs in the second just do not find the basket, and 5/26 of the bandwidth roll Pop send back the two best teams of the season to take a breather on the 35 par. The San Antonio 8-0 in the opening of the second half is the story of a game that could be; two triples with whom Curry awakens her what really happens. Steph is devastating, sowing panic in the Texan defense trying to stand on Leonard, so good to try to put as a disastrous piece on offense (20 points with 7/22 shooting). San Antonio breathes only when it finds Aldridge (24 points) by medium and short distance, try the experiment Marjanovic at the start of a last quarter started under 62-61 but finds a way to make really bad, aided by the 3/17 three. Golden State instead know how to do evil: his weapon is the jersey number 30, the air to be irreverent good guy Curry. With him even the tight marking works (8/12 on uncontested shots) and when at 2’22 “from the end slips toward the basket for the 88-77 the story is served. Golden State as the Bulls 1995-96, Curry rock star also loved by opposing fans (the only exception is precisely the AT & T Center) as it was Jordan. Immortality is there now one step.
