The NBA ended its regular season Wednesday night with two historic moments: The league said goodbye to the iconic Kobe Bryant while the Golden State Warriors won their 73rd game—a new single-season record. Bryant scored 60 points in his final NBA game, rounding out the Los Angeles Lakers season with a 101-96 victory over the Utah Jazz. “I can’t believe how fast 20 years went by... I love you guys... Mamba out!” Bryant said, thanking his teammates, fans, and family after the game. Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors topped off a historic season with a 125-104 win over the Memphis Grizzlies at Oracle Arena, breaking the single-season record held by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. Stephen Curry also became the first player in NBA history to sink 400 three-pointers in a season.
