No team in NBA history has won more consecutive regular season games in their home arena than the Golden State Warriors.
Stephen Curry and Co. accomplished the feat Monday with a 119-113 victory over the Orlando Magic — their 45th in a row at Oracle Arena — surpassing the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who hold the record for most wins (72) in an NBA regular season. As the Warriors (56-6) shift their attention toward chasing down the 72-win marker with 20 games to play, here's how their home win streak has compared to the standard-bearing Bulls team.
