Steve Kerr called himself the luckiest coach in the NBA.
In his first coaching job, his Golden State Warriors have set a franchise record with their 12th straight victory and improved to a league-best 10-1 on the road.
"They're easy to coach. They're really talented. They're unselfish," Kerr said. "I'm just lucky."
Draymond Green scored a career-high 31 points and the Warriors beat the Chicago Bulls 112-102 on Saturday night. Klay Thompson added 24 points for the Warriors, who extended their league-best record to 17-2.
Jimmy Butler led the Bulls (12-8) with 24 points. Pau Gasol added 22 points and 20 rebounds.
The Warriors previously won a franchise-record 11 straight games from Dec. 29, 1971-Jan. 22, 1972.
"You're talking about a franchise that was historically known for losing," Green said. "A new ownership group came in, and it completely changes the entire organization. It's a great feeling. We feel like we have a lot left in the tank."
The Bulls fell to just 2-5 at home.
The Warriors had lost five straight and 11 of 12 and were 6-28 over 35 years in Chicago.
