ATLANTA (AP) – Stephen Curry pumped a fist, wagged a finger and even gave a little shimmy with his shoulders.

Chalk up No. 50 for the Golden State Warriors.

On a night when Curry scored 36 points – in other words, just another day at the office – the Warriors became the fastest team in NBA history to 50 wins in a season with a 102-92 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

They surpassed the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who needed one more game to reach the milestone. Of course, that’s the team Golden State is chasing for one of the league’s most iconic marks.

Seventy-two wins.
