The Warriors are keeping the dream alive.
Golden State rallied from 10 points down with 6:20 remaining for a 100-99 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies Saturday night at FedEx Forum.

Andre Iguodala scored his only five points of the game in the final minutes after the Warriors trailed 90-80. Even as Stephen Curry, who finished with 17 points, missed three of his final four shot attempts, Draymond Green scored six of his team-high 23 points to help the Warriors set an NBA record with their 33 road victory of the season.
Golden State (71-9) also kept its hope of setting a new single-season wins record. The Warriors will have to win at San Antonio on Sunday and then beat the Grizzlies again next Wednesday to best the 72-10 mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
Saturday's win didn't come easy, especially with a controversial ending as Grizzlies guard Lance Stephenson appeared to be fouled on two shots in the waning seconds, but no foul was called.
The Warriors held a 53-50 halftime advantage, but Memphis (42-38) took control in the third quarter to lead 78-70 going into the final quarter.
"Tonight was a weird one," Curry told ESPN following Saturday's game. "We played pretty good in the first half, but then couldn't find any mojo."
Matt Barnes scored a game-high 24 points for Memphis and, while, it wasn't exactly the "Vinsanity" of old, 39-year-old Vince Carter showed Saturday night he still has a little left in the tank with 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists and zero turnovers.
Of the six games on the NBA slate Saturday night, four were decided by three points or less, including playoff-bound Portland and Oklahoma City both losing to the lowly Timberwolves and Kings, respectively.
Highlights:
Stephenson had two chances at a potential game-winning shot.
LANCE STEPHENSON... FOR THE GAME ?!

The Atlanta Hawks got a 118-107 win over the Boston Celtics thanks to shots like Dennis Schroder's deep buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter.

Studs of the night:
Atlanta's Paul Millsap came up big with 31 points, 16 rebounds and five blocked shots in Saturday's win over the Celtics. The win pushed the Hawks ahead of the Celtics for third in the Eastern Conference.
Dud of the night:
LeBron James did his part, scoring 33 points on 13-of-17 shooting, but Kyrie Irving did not do his part. Irving was just 5 of 17 from the floor and finished with 11 points and four turnovers in Cleveland's 105-102 loss to the Bulls. Irving did have eight assists and wasn't the only Cavaliers player to have a cold shooting night. Kevin Love was just 6 of 17 from the floor, but did finish with 20 points and 13 rebounds.
Tweet of the night:
The Warriors know how to play defense down the stretch.
Warriors' opponents are now 0-13 on go-ahead field goals in the final 10 seconds of the 4th quarter and overtime this season.

What's next:
Mavericks (41-38) at Clippers (51-28), 3:30 p.m. ET — The Mavericks can avoid the Warriors in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs if they can hang onto the Western Conference seven seed. Of course, that would mean a first-round matchup with the Spurs, so pick your poison. The Clippers are firmly entrenched as the four seed in the West.
Warriors (70-10) at Spurs (65-14), 7 p.m. ET — The Warriors can still set the NBA single-season wins record, but will have to beat a Spurs team that has yet to lose at home this season. Golden State then plays Memphis, which beat the Grizzlies on Saturday, in the regular-season finale.
