The Warriors' 22nd straight regular-season victory -- a
streak that includes four wins at the end of last season -- tied the 2007-08
Houston Rockets for the third-longest such streak in NBA history, trailing only
the 33 straight by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers and 27 in a row by the
2012-13 Miami Heat.
It was also their 28th straight regular-season home win (a
streak that also began last season), becoming the 10th NBA team to accomplish
that feat and the first since the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls, who won 32 in a row at
home en route to their second of three straight league titles.

season low, as his teammates did most of the work.
Klay Thompson scored 15 points and Speights added 13 for the
Warriors, who had six players in double figures.
Rudy Gay scored 20 points for the Kings, who again played
