Once again, the defending-champion Warriors are on top of the NBA with an impressive 55-5 record, which means they are capable of surpassing the 1995-96 Bulls' NBA record of 72 wins in a season.
However, coach Steve Kerr would rather his players be rested for the postseason than break the Bulls' record, Yahoo Sports reported.

"Resting, that will take precedence," Kerr said. "We will rest guys if they need it before we will go for any kind of streak or record, that's for sure."
Warriors star Stephen Curry isn't surprised by Kerr's stance and said the focus should remain on winning another championship.
"That is how I assumed he would handle it," Curry said. "Obviously, the big picture is always the most important, trying to win a championship. Case in point, like (Thursday against Oklahoma City), they put Andre (Iguodala) on a minutes restriction knowing he is probably the best matchup for KD (Kevin Durant). Not worrying about that per say but making sure he is going to be healthy long-term.
"Little decisions along the way like that are about keeping us healthy, keeping us fresh as opposed to … what might be best for that particular night to get a win. We will see how that manifests. Hopefully, there won't be too many decisions that he will have to make along the way."
Kerr's decision to give the team more rest has already started. The starters' minutes have been reduced as the season winds down.
"In the end, it's still the title that matters the most," Kerr said. "Having said that, this team, one of the reasons they are special is they take so much joy in the process of each game. They don't talk much about records. But our guys have a lot of fun from one night to the next.
"I think that's part of our success. It comes from enjoying everything every day."
