Stephen Curry and the Warriors secure an NBA-record 73 wins Wednesday night while Kobe Bryant ends his career by scoring 60 points against the Jazz.
The last night of the 2015-16 NBA season will forever be known for two numbers: 73 and 60.
Two teams. Two sets of historic achievements that came together simultaneously on what's already being called the greatest single night in league history.
While Kobe Bryant turned the clock back and dropped 60 on the Jazz in his final game in Los Angeles, five hours away, the Warriors captured their 73rd win, an NBA record, and Steph Curry hit his 402nd three-pointer, also an NBA record.
All of that happened basically at the same time, between 10:30 p.m. ET and into the early morning hours Thursday.
Every second of the crazy night was followed on social media. Here's how it all unfolded.
The leader of the free world is checking in.

The Warriors were given top billing on ESPN, while Kobe was relegated to ESPN2, putting viewers in a bind before the games even started.
Kobe's final game featured plenty of pomp. Virtually every step Bryant took in the run-up to his last game was chronicled on social media.
