All eyes will be on the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday evening as the top NBA team attempts to break the league record for single-year wins and cap off the greatest season ever. For the final game of the year, the seemingly unstoppable 72-9 team will take on the Memphis Grizzlies at home in Oakland, Calif.
Should the reigning champions win the game, they will finish the season 73-9, officially breaking the 72-10 record set by the 1996 Chicago Bulls—previously considered the best NBA season in history.
And the odds are heavily in Stephen Curry and the Warriors' favor: the Grizzlies are currently playing at reduced strength due to several injuries; and earlier this season they lost by an astonishing 50 points in Oakland, even at full strength. The Grizzlies intend to put up a fight, however, as they've qualified for a playoff spot and a win could help them avoid the immensely strong San Antonio Spurs in the first round.
