Stephen Curry scored 46 points, despite not playing in the fourth quarter, as the Golden State Warriors dismantled the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night 125-104, and earned their record-setting 73rd win of the season. It was a magical night for the defending NBA champions and some pretty high-profile guys sent out their congratulations.
Congrats to the @Warriors, a great group of guys on and off the court. If somebody had to break the Bulls’ record, I’m glad it’s them.

While it’s not all that surprising to see President Obama offer his congratulations, I kind of have a hard time believing that Jordan wrote that statement. He might be the most competitive person there’s ever been and I’m sure he’s not all that happy that the Warriors broke one of his records. That being said, they have a long way to go to match his six rings.
