The Golden State Warriors Make NBA History

With a 118-105 victory against the Denver Nuggets, the reigning champion Golden State Warriors have made NBA history by tying the NBA record of a 15-0 start. The only other teams to have ever done this are the 1948-1949 Capitols team and the 1993-1994 Houston Rockets. With the best shooting duo the NBA has ever seen in Klay Thompson and defending MVP Stephen Curry, the Warriors have been red hot since the season started after winning the NBA Finals last year against the injured Cleveland Cavaliers. The Warriors look very hungry to repeat last year's season, and no team has been able to slow them down. Golden State has pretty much demolished every team that's been put in front of them, with their only close games coming against the Raptors and both games against their rivals the Los Angeles Clippers. The defending champs are also favored to win 65 of their remaining 67 games. The only time they aren't favored to win games this season are the two games they play on the road against the San Antonio Spurs. If the experts are right, which is highly unlikely but not impossible, the Warriors would finish the season 80-2 which is an incredibly remarkable record. While I'm not quite sure that can happen, anything looks possible with this team. It will be interesting to see which team can finally end this incredible streak, if anyone actually can.
