Feb 23 (Reuters) - The Golden State Warriors have reached 50 wins faster than any team in National Basketball Association history although the players are far from complacent as they work towards their goal of repeating as league champions.
Golden State improved to 50-5 with a 102-92 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, eclipsing the mark set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls who needed one more game to get to the milestone en route to landing their fourth NBA title in six seasons.
But the Warriors, chasing the record 72-10 mark put up by the Michael Jordan-led Bulls in that same season, are more focused on perfecting their game to ensure they are the last team standing when the NBA championship is decided in June.
