4. Warriors Make History Against Bulls (Nov. 20. 2015)
The 2015-16 Warriors were an offensive juggernaut that made history weekly. From being led by the first unanimous MVP, securing a head coaching position for Luke Walton, and finishing the year 73-9, the team ran through the NBA during the regular season.
Their first bench mark of history came against the Chicago Bulls at Oracle Arena. The Warriors were 14-0, looking to tie the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics for second best start to the NBA season. The Bulls, on the other hand, were looking to continue their win streak without star point guard Derrick Rose.
Curry made sure that the Bulls momentum would halt in Oakland.
Curry started the game cold from three, but was finding shooters with ease. This was the first season where his off-ball movement became second nature, forcing teams to chase him around the court, leaving one person open at all times.
For the Bulls, it was Jimmy Butler and Kirk Hinrich who had the luxury of chasing Curry around. In the pick and roll, Pau Gasol was the defender left to check Curry, reminding Bulls fans that he was not the Lakers version of Pau Gasol. The most memorable moment from this game was when Curry ripped the ball out of Joakim Noah’s hands and proceeded to throw a lob to Andre Iguodala.
The Warriors won the game and went onto win eight more, starting the season and an NBA all-time best 24-0.
