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.
LeBron James (29 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists) and Steph Curry (32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists) recorded a triple-double in Sunday’s matchup, while Kevin Durant finished with a double-double, 33 points and 13 rebounds.
The 2017 NBA Finals will resume in Cleveland for Game 3 on Wednesday and Game 4 on Friday.
