Fourteen wins and counting, and now, finally, the Warriors are talking about the streak, too.
“At this point, you do,” forward Draymond Green said (via CSN Bay Area). “Because all you’re doing now is thinking about one game, which you have to do anyway.”

As the defending NBA champions built their season-opening streak, the team — led by high-scoring Stephen Curry — stayed true to a "one game at a time" mantra. The next game is all that mattered.
The next game is Sunday night against the Nuggets, and a victory in Denver would tie the Warriors (14-0) for the most wins to start a season with the 1993-94 Houston Rockets and the 1948-49 Washington Capitols.
“We haven’t brought it up at all yet, but we’re close enough now,” interim coach Luke Walton said. "Let’s try to go get that best start ever.”
It's within reach.
“It’s a motivational tool for us,” guard Shaun Livingston said. “As you keep going through the games, you try to come up with a new speech as a coach.
“For us, it’s something special. It’s history. We can mark our place. And if we’ve got the chance to do it, why not?”
A win Sunday and then in Game 16 is at home Tuesday against the Lakers?
“That’s history right there,” big man Festus Ezeli said. “That’s a huge accomplishment for us, and it’s a great start to the season.
“Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, our ultimate goal is to win the championship or chase it right now. We’ve got to continue to get better and improve every game.
“But that right there (the record) is a huge accomplishment. To have your name in the history books of the NBA, that’s big. That’s bigger than any of us here.”
