" There was talk before last night&amp;#039;s Warriors-Grizzlies game about Steve Kerr&amp;#039;s obligations as a coach.\u00A0If Steph Curry has six threes in the third quarter, the analysts wondered,\u00A0do you take him out to rest him for the playoffs? Normally, the answer would be an easy yes. But there was some vital context in play: Curry needed to make eight three-pointers to have 400 for the season. Do you leave him in to chase the record and risk an injury?\u00A0 Oh, and by the way: his team was\u00A0out to secure the best\u00A0regular-season record of all time. Curry, of course, had no regard for hypotheticals or pre-game debates. He came out in the first quarter and promptly sunk five threes. One in particular, where he pulled up off\u00A0the dribble from at least five feet behind the line to bury it,\u00A0seemed to showcase the best of his talents.\u00A0He finished the game with 10\u00A0threes on 19 attempts, and finished the season with a total of\u00A0402. This achievement borders on the absurd when you consider that earlier this season Curry became the first player ever to make 300 threes in a season. He\u00A0now owns three of the top four seasons, in terms of total threes made, in NBA history.  Those treys helped him to another staggering performance, with 46 points on 24 shots. It also helped his\u00A0team to a historic victory\u2014one that, in truth, was rarely in doubt. Curry&amp;#039;s first-quarter flurry was part of\u00A0a now-characteristically dominant Warriors performance.\u00A0Klay Thompson\u2014who, this year,\u00A0had the third-best three-point shooting season of all time\u2014got hot in the second quarter and made a Grizzlies team\u00A0too preoccupied with Curry pay the price. Draymond Green ran the offense from the forward position for most of the night, leading fast breaks and generally doing it all as he flirted with yet another triple-double. Five Warriors scored in the double digits. It was a team performance, but one led by their sharpshooting talisman. By the end, they&amp;#039;d done it. 73-9 is the new benchmark for a team&amp;#039;s\u00A0season record. The 2015-16 Warriors surpassed the 1995-96 Bulls\u2014that Jordan-Pippen juggernaut\u2014to stamp an exclamation point on nearly six months of brilliant, exhilarating\u00A0basketball. That, combined with Kobe&amp;#039;s 60-point farewell fireworks, was enough to make last night a truly special end to the regular season. Now it&amp;#039;s time for the playoffs.
