The 75-Win Season
The Golden State Warriors broke the NBA's regular-season wins record behind historic three-point shooting.
The 2015-2016 Golden State Warriors finished the regular season 73-9, breaking the record of 72 wins set by the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls.
The team's success was built on ball movement, switchable defense, and historic three-point shooting volume led by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, a duo nicknamed the 'Splash Brothers.'
Despite the record-setting regular season, the Warriors lost the 2016 NBA Finals after leading 3-1, a result frequently cited alongside the win record itself as part of the same, closely linked story.
