The Warriors' NBA record for most wins a season is safe for another year.
The Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, 113-103, on Friday night, dropping their season record to 53-10, meaning they can't match the Warriors' 73-9 record from the 2015-16 season.
The best the Bucks can do is 72-10, which would equal the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.

"I would take the Bucks as the favorite, but not the field," Haberstroh told Bob Fitzgerald and Kelenna Azubuike. "I'm on Team Bucks, over the Lakers and the Clippers. I think the Bucks are on another level. They're like the 2016 Warriors right now. Yes, the Warriors didn't win the title in 2016, but it took a lot of injuries and attrition to make that happen."
