The Warriors made NBA history in their 137-116 victory against the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday at Chase Center.
Golden State scored 137 points against Memphis with just two made free throws, breaking the previous record of 126 points on two or fewer free throws set by the 1979-80 Los Angeles Lakers. (h/t Reddit user u/nowhathappenedwas)

The Warriors previously accomplished a similar feat eight years ago when the infamous 73-9 team scored 108 points in a win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Jan. 30, 2016, with just one free throw.
The feat shouldn’t be all that surprising considering Golden State (36-32) averages the seventh-most points per game (118.6), but the 25th-most free throws (20.8 ) per game in the NBA this season.
