Defending champion joined in history that Washington and Houston, respectively in 1948-49 and in 1993-94, had also won their first five matches, before conceding a first defeat.
       

         And see their serenity face the Denver Nuggets, this series could very well continue for a long time. Tuesday, Golden State will seek in his room against Lakers still lackluster, a sixteenth victory, which would make it the only record holder. As from the beginning of the season, Golden State does not dominate outrageously his opponents, but discouraged by his incredible self-confidence that allows them to win with a mean difference of 14.4 points. Even hung, the Warriors always manage to find the solution. She comes very often Stephen Curry, the best player of the 2015-16 season, which runs at the maddening average of 32.7 points per game and is increasingly compared to the legendary Michael Jordan.
       

         Curry has scored “only” 19 points in 28 minutes Sunday, but a sign of superiority of the franchise from Oakland, it can also rely on Klay Thompson (21 pts), Harrison Barnes (17 pts) or Andre Iguodala ( 12 pts). Relegated to nine points before the end of the first quarter (32-23), Denver is however gradually returned to the height of the Warriors, and even took the lead 51-50 with two minutes remaining in the second period. But Golden State then quietly resumed distances and regained its nine-point lead.
       

         
           
         
       

         Denver did not get delivered and counted up 19 points behind (108-87) in a last period when the champion Curry place and allowed to rest on the bench. “Getting to fifteen straight wins is something fabulous, but we want to continue, already winning the next game in our sall e,” said Curry. Where will the Golden State? Some observers see Curry and his teammates beat another record, even prestigious, the Chicago Bulls of Michael Jordan: in 1995-96, they won 72 of their 82 regular-season games, the never-seen before or since.
