Warriors rally to beat Grizzlies and sustain hopes of breaking 1995-96 Bulls’ record of 72 wins

Draymond Green scored on a tip-in in with one minute left Saturday night, and the Golden State Warriors rallied from 10 points down early in the fourth quarter and defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 100-99, in Memphis, Tenn., to match at least one NBA record held by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.

Golden State now has 33 road wins, tying those Bulls, who went 33-8 away from Chicago. The Warriors (71-9) have two games left and need one win to tie the ‘95-96 Bulls’ NBA single-season record of 72 victories. The Warriors play Sunday night in San Antonio, where they have lost 33 straight.

Green, whose winning tip initially was disallowed for basket interference before the call was reversed on replay review, finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Klay Thompson had 20 points, Stephen Curry 17 and Harrison Barnes 14 for the Warriors.

Matt Barnes had 24 points, 15 rebounds and four assists for Memphis. Lance Stephenson missed two shots in the final seconds on a drive and again on a flip toward the basket.

at Atlanta 118, Boston 107: Paul Millsap had a season-high 31 points and 16 rebounds, Jeff Teague scored 24 points, and the Hawks moved one game ahead of the Celtics for sole possession of third place in the Eastern Conference. With two regular-season games left for both teams, Atlanta moved 1 1/2 games ahead of Southeast Division rivals Miami and Charlotte, while Boston was left with just a half-game lead over the Heat and Hornets.

at Chicago 105, Cleveland 102: Jimmy Butler scored 21 points, four teammates reached double figures and the apparently lottery bound Bulls hung on to beat the Eastern Conference leaders. LeBron James scored 33 points and J.R. Smith had 24 for the Cavaliers, who rallied to within 104-102 in the final seconds after trailing 104-96 with a minute to play.

Phoenix 121, at New Orleans 100: Archie Goodwin scored 24 points and Mizra Teletovic had 22 for the Suns, who won their second straight two days after snapping a seven-game losing streak with a win at Houston. Toney Douglas scored 23 for the Pelicans, who suffered their largest losing margin at home this season.
