NBA star Steph Curry says it will be tough to eclipse the LA Lakers and set a new record for consecutive NBA wins in a season.

The Warriors have won 16 in a row but are still well adrift of the Lakers, who won 33 straight matches in the 1971-72 season.

"We are going to play hard and hopefully close in on that record," said Curry. "But it won't be a disappointing effort if we don't get there because there are so many talented teams in the league."
