Meanwhile, defending champions Golden State Warriors remain undefeated in the 2015-2016 NBA season. According to a tweet by the team's official account, the Warriors now hold a 15-0 record after defeating the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night.

The victory now has the Warriors matching the best start to a season in league history.

In another report by USA today, reigning Most Valuable Player Steph Curry describes his team's recent accomplishment has been a goal for quite a while already.

"It's a goal that's right here and now, and that's something that we want to experience," said Curry, who finished with 19 points and seven assists against Denver. "It would be a huge accomplishment, because obviously doing something that hasn't been done in the history of the league is special, but you never know if this opportunity will come back again."

"There's so many variables that go into winning this many in a row, especially at the start of the season. So we want to accomplish that, since we're here," he added.

The last team to ever put up a remarkable NBA regular season record was the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls team, who ended with a 72-10 win-loss slate.
