CONGRATULATING THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS ON BREAKING NBA REGULAR-SEASON

                           HON. ERIC SWALWELL

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 15, 2016

  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, together with Congresswoman 
Barbara Lee, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, 
Congressman Sam Farr, Congressman Michael Honda, Congresswoman Zoe 
Lofgren, Congressman Jerry McNerney, Congressman Mark DeSaulnier, 
Congresswoman Jackie Speier, and Congressman Mike Thompson, I rise 
today to congratulate the Golden State Warriors on breaking the 
National Basketball Association (NBA) regular-season wins record on 
Wednesday.
  With the whole world watching, the Warriors' 73rd victory broke the 
Chicago Bulls' record that stood for twenty years. This achievement is 
a prime example showing the Warriors' resilience, ``Strength in 
Numbers,'' and status as among the best teams ever.
  This incredible journey began with the best start to a season, with 
24 wins in a row, and ended with 39 wins and just 2 losses at home at 
Oracle Arena.
  We are so proud to represent the Golden State Warriors in Congress as 
well as the best fans in the NBA, #DubNation.
  Throughout this season, the Warriors have been a thrill to watch. 
They have truly reinvented the game of basketball.
  But, it is not just their skills that shine. Both on and off the 
court, they have shown the power of hard work and unity.
  Time after time, the Warriors have proven their love for our 
community and served as powerful role models. We are so honored to have 
these incredible athletes and men in our community.
  Thank you to owner Joe Lacob, president Rick Welts, head coach Steve 
Kerr, interim head coach Luke Walton, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, 
Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes, Andrew Bogut, Andre Iguodala, and all 
of the talented players, coaches, and staff who made this record 
possible.
  We look forward to our Warriors bringing home the Larry O'Brien 
Trophy once again this summer. Go Warriors, and Go Dub Nation.
