The Golden State Warriors only lead the 2017 NBA Finals series 2-0, but they already won a place in the history books.

With Sunday night’s 132-113 Game 2 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Warriors earned the 14th straight postseason win, breaking the League record for most consecutive NBA postseason wins. The previous record holders were the 1988-1989 Los Angeles Lakers with 13-straight wins.

The Cavaliers were contenders for the title this season, but the Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals ended the streak at 13 games.

History for the Warriors.

The 2017 NBA Finals will resume in Cleveland for Game 3 on Wednesday and Game 4 on Friday.
