Golden State Warriors close in on NBA wins record

Warriors guard Steph Curry is likely to win this season's NBA MVP award

The Golden State Warriors became only the second NBA team to win 70 games in a regular season when the reigning champions beat the San Antonio Spurs.

Steph Curry scored 27 points in a 112-101 win as the Warriors hit back from their second loss in three home games.

The victory secured them home-court advantage throughout the play-offs.

The California-based team can break the Chicago Bulls record of 72 wins - set in the 1995-96 campaign - by winning their remaining three games.
