Other NBA records that the C's could tie or surpass

Not that Boston only cares this season about capturing records. Because repeating is what's primarily on their minds I would think. These present records could be brought up at some point the closer Boston comes to possibly tying one or more of them.

7. Road Warriors = 33 Wins
No team had won more on the road than the Bulls who established yet another NBA record with 33 wins. The Bulls didn’t just show up in visiting arenas, it was how they showed up. They were the undisputed No. 1 road draw having converted the hometown faithful fans in visiting cities (see No. 23, 33 and 91 jerseys in the stands). Home or on the road, it didn’t matter, the adoration the ’96 Bulls enjoyed was unprecedented. It was Beatles-esque. Everyone wanted a piece of this team.
6. Most Wins With Only Three Losses – 40-3
The Bulls tied the ’72 Lakers with the most wins with three losses when they notched its 39th win over the Rockets in Houston. The Bulls bested that record the next night in Sacramento, rolling to a 40-1 mark.
5. 50 Wins With Fewest Losses
The torrid pace continued when the Bulls reached the 50 win plateau with only six losses. The previous record was held by the ’67 76ers who compiled a 50-7 mark.

With their 94-74 defeat against the Celtics on Tuesday, the Rockets' 22-game winning streak came to an end.
Houston passed the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks last Friday for the second longest stretch in NBA history. The 1971-72 L.A. Lakers possess the longest winning streak in NBA history with 33 straight victories.
