the Warriors were the first team not to lose back-to-back games all year long.

Warriors Set NBA Record With 73-Win Season

April 14, 2016 1:11 a.m. ET

Curry was the league’s MVP last year, and that makes it all the more remarkable that he has outdone himself in almost every way this year. He is a lock to win the league’s top individual honor again—the only uncertainty is whether he’ll be the first unanimous MVP ever—but he has taken such a leap even from last season that there is a real case that Curry deserves the Most Improved Player award, too.

Last year he averaged 23.8 points a game and made an NBA record 286 threes. This year he averaged 30 points a game and became the first player ever to 300 and then 400 threes in one of the most efficient seasons in NBA history.

What the Warriors did as a team this season, though, was exactly what wasn’t supposed to happen any more in the NBA. The season is a slog, and occasional clunkers are inevitable, but the Warriors were the first team not to lose back-to-back games all year long. The sheer enormity of 73 wins—or nine losses—was another reason that not even Warriors executives thought it was a possibility until recently.
