NBA’s Warriors record bid falters after Minnesota upset (AFP)

The Golden State Warriors' bid to surpass the Chicago Bulls' regular season record suffered a setback as they crashed to a shock overtime defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Warriors, chasing the legendary 1995-1996 Bulls team's mark of 72 victories, slumped to a 124-117 reverse against the Timberwolves, who have the third worst record in the Western Conference. The Warriors' defeat means they must now win all four of their remaining games -- which include two meetings with the second-ranked San Antonio Spurs -- to get to 73 victories.
