The Golden State Warriors are one win away from basketball immortality.Led by Stephen Curry's 19 points, one of five players in double figures, the Warriors became the third team in NBA history to start a season 15-0 after a 118-105 win over the Denver Nuggets in the Pepsi Center on Sunday night.The 2015-16 Warriors joined the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets as the only teams to hit the 15-0 mark. On Friday, Golden State became the first team since the 2002-03 Dallas Mavericks to start 14-0.No team in NBA history has ever won its first 16 games to start the season, but the Warriors now find themselves in position to do just that. The defending NBA champions will return to Oracle Arena on Tuesday for a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers.The Warriors' official Twitter account shared this after the win in Denver:The Warriors' talent and depth were on full display early. Golden State jumped out to a 34-23 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Warriors took a six-point lead into halftime and a 12-point lead into the final frame.Golden State made 15 three-pointers and shot 53 percent from the floor.Klay Thompson contributed with 21 points, and Harrison Barnes chipped in with 17 points and four assists in the historic win.The most impressive aspect of Golden State's historic start is that the team has accomplished it under interim head coach Luke Walton.

Ten of their 15 wins have come by double digits, including Sunday's victory over the Nuggets.Golden State continues to show it's by far the best team in the NBA.On Tuesday, the Warriors will have a chance to do something no team has ever done.
