What’s that? It’s as bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Andrew Bogut!

Their two remaining games are against the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets, and it will be interesting to see if the Warriors can push their record to an incredible 67 wins. Only four teams in NBA history have hit that many wins (last being the 2006-07 Dallas Mavericks), and only five teams have had more than 67 wins. So while the Warriors don’t have anything to play for right now as far as seeding and things, they are playing for their spot in history.
Their most recent victory came against the Minnesota Timberwolves in an exciting 110-101 showdown. Stephen Curry had another monster game with 34 points (52 percent shooting), seven assists, four rebounds and four steals. It just seems inevitable at this point that he will become the league’s MVP.
Andrew Bogut didn’t have a monster game as he only had seven points (38 percent shooting) and six rebounds, but he did connect with Curry for a nasty alley-oop dunk.
Bogut rarely shows that much athleticism, so that was beautiful to see.
In the loss, Minnesota rookie Zach LaVine had a monster game with 37 points (62 percent shooting), nine rebounds and four assists.
