Warriors go for record 16-0 start Tuesday night
Golden State matches the start of the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and the ’93-94 Houston Rockets. Don’t forget the 2007 Patriots.

There was no champagne in the Golden State Warriors locker room Tuesday night. The Warriors are cementing their legacy as one of the best teams to play and if they do beat the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record, then Curry will definitely be in conversation for the best player to play the game. Bryant was quoted in saying, “We might go up there and we might play like gangbusters up there, you never know”. Their first loss of the season came against the Atlanta Hawks 133-111.
The Hawks are slight favourites to win this game at home in the Philips Arena. Meanwhile, they faced limited opponents throughout the playoffs and also didn’t have to face the Spurs or Clippers who many people thought could challenge the Warriors.
Another win over the Lakers will see them hold the new record and it should be interesting if the pressure will get to the champions.

He recalls when they were winning almost every night. “I’ve seen stranger things happen”, Bryant said after Sunday’s loss.
“I don’t know if it’s too early”, Scott said. Neither played in the fourth quarter and still finished with a plus-minus of +36.
