History was created Tuesday with the Los Angeles Lakers on the court.

The Warriors not only set a record for consecutive wins to start a season but also tied the franchise record for consecutive wins in a single season. Where things go after these comments from Young and in terms of Kobe’s role on the floor will be something to watch in the immediate future and even the rest of the season.
In other news, Hill believes that talk of the Warriors getting to 72 wins is premature.
Bryant shot 1-of-14 from the field, including 1-of-7 from 3-point range. I could have scored 80 tonight, it wouldn’t have made a damn difference.
They’re so damn good, it’s kind of boring.
“He reminded the guys what those values were, and he emphasized to them how proud he was watching them, because we’re hitting all four of those values”, Walton said about Kerr before the game. “We have to keep it going and we’re on the right track”. So is it likely?
Only three teams have won more than 20 National Basketball Association games in a row.
Their talent, depth and hunger will exceed most obstacles. That’s even more impressive when you factor in that only four players have made more total passes than Green on the season, and only four have turned more of those opportunities into assists.
They know it, too, which is why they weren’t popping champagne bottles in the locker room.
Kobe Bryant is impressed by these Warriors, to say the least.
“At the end of the day, it’s still 16 regular-season wins”.
“There is no championship hangover for us”, Curry said.
“It’s tough to teach someone to have that type of feel and vision”, Warriors interim coach Luke Walton told the San Francisco Chronicle about Green’s passing ability.
“We probably won’t go 82-0 and we probably will lose a couple games in the playoffs, but if we develop the habits and continue to focus on details of how we are winning these games, those will all come out when they need to, to get us out of any holes that we are in or any stagnant stretch we see”, Curry said. They both had 27 and 28 points respectively.
Then he missed his next nine shots after making a three-pointer. That is a prognostication based on what usually happens.
And maybe the Lakers should just concede – why stand in the way of history when you can become a part of it as a footnote?
The 16-win challenge is done.
Backup guard Leandro Barbosa (13 points) and shooting guard Klay Thompson (11) also scored in double figures for the Warriors, who shot 48.9 percent from the field en route to recording a sixth straight home win over the Lakers. They’ve been on that build-a-dynasty challenge.

Bryant said his off night had to do with the team’s overall play – blown defensive coverages, unnamed players not running the offense, etc.
