The Golden State Warriors may have lost its chance to beat the LA Lakers’ 33-game win streak this year, but they are going to make history one way or another.
The defending NBA champion saw themselves hauled back to reality after suffering an upset to the Milwaukee Bucks last year. This loss stopped their historic run to beat the 33-0 record of the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers.
However, the Warriors are still in good position. The team have already made history by starting the season with 24 straight wins, shattering the previous record of 15 straight wins to start a season held by the 1948-1949 Washington Capitols and 1993-1994 Houston Rockets.
And at the current 36-2 standing, they are well on pace to beat the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ 72-10 record. It is just a prediction, but I am pretty confident saying that the Warriors breaking the 72 wins, a record, that most people thought could never be broken, is slowly becoming an inevitability, much like winning another championship.

Some studios in Pakistan’s nascent but growing gaming industry have become a standout on gender diversity in a country where only about 13 percent of the non-agriculture workforce is female. At “We R Play Studios,” an open office plan and “play room” are a direct cultural import from Silicon Valley.

China’s war on underground banking is having great success, particularly in the province closest to the world’s top gambling hub, Macau.
According to the Guangdong provincial Department of Public Security, police in China’s most populous province cracked 83 cases involving underground banking transactions between April and December 2015, seven times the number of cases than police recorded in all of 2014.
Huang Shouying, director of the Department’s economic crime investigation bureau, told China Daily that police had exposed 79 illegal banking sites, detained 231 suspects, seized RMB 37.1m (US $5.6m) in cash and froze 3,491 accounts containing RMB 665m ($101m).
Shouying said underground banks were channels for “online gambling, telephone fraud, moving suspected drug trafficker’s money in and out of the mainland and domestic corrupt officials sending their bribes abroad.” That last category includes a pair of officials from Jiangxi province who used a Guangdong underground bank to send RMB 12.8m to an account in Macau last June.

Lottery ticket buyers have to suspend their belief in math to drop $2 on an infinitesimal chance to win the Powerball jackpot, but in Nevada, they also have to drive across the desert and wait in lines that can stretch for hours. As if the 1 in 292.2 million odds of winning weren’t inconvenient enough, people who live in the six states that don’t participate in Powerball must put in considerable extra effort to get a ticket.
