Golden State Warriors fixed on wins record

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is ready to talk 73.

The Warriors are nine wins from breaking the single-season wins record set by the 72-10 Chicago Bulls in 1995-96.

"We're right there," said Kerr, the Warriors head coach who missed more than three months recovering from complications due to back surgery, "that's pretty enticing."

The Warriors beat the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday and have a 64-7 record with 11 games to play.

Klay Thompson and Draymond Green openly discussed chasing down the Bulls during All-Star Game media sessions. Green said it was a way to immortalize the team and what it has accomplished not only this season, but last season and in the years ahead with most of the team's core locked up contractually and 2015 NBA MVP Steph Curry ready to cash in with a massive contract.

Green said last week after a loss in San Antonio that the goal remained setting the wins mark. The Warriors draw the Spurs twice in a three-game span next month -- at home April 7 and in San Antonio on April 10.

The Spurs enter Thursday 60-11, four games back of the record-tracking Warriors. San Antonio could tie the all-time wins record by going 10-1 the rest of the season.

"I'm not going to shy away from saying we want the record," Green said. "We want the record, and we're going after it."

Golden State was 39-4 under the watch of assistant coach Luke Walton. When Kerr came back Jan. 22 for the Warriors' home game against the Indiana Pacers, the team responded with its 38th consecutive win at Oracle Arena and a 122-110 victory.
