It was an NBA night for the ages with the Golden State Warriors going for their 73rd victory and Kobe Bryant playing in his final game ever simultaneously.

But things got really interesting when Stephen Curry and the defending champion Warriors were pulling away from the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night at the Oracle Arena in Oakland and Bryant was just beginning to warm up against the Utah Jazz at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The Warriors wound up getting their 73rd win, becoming the all-time single-season holders for best record (73-9). Meanwhile, Bryant made his final stand one to remember, scoring an unreal 60 points.

Here's a look at all of the numbers that came from the electric Wednesday, April 13 night in the NBA.

Kobe Bryant shot 22-of-50 from the field to score 60 points.

His 50 shot attempts marked a career-high.

The breakdown of his points were 16 two-point field goals, 6 three-pointers and 10-of-12 from the charity stripe.

He scored 15 of the Lakers' final 17 points.

That came after starting the game 0-for-5, before catching fire and scoring 15 of the Lakers' first 19 points.

His 60 points are the most since he scored 61 against the New York Knicks on February 2, 2009.

This was the sixth time he has notched 60 or more points.

At 37, Bryant became the oldest player to ever score 50 points.

In concluding his legendary 20-year career, Bryant played his 1,346th and final regular-season game and leaves the NBA with 33,643 points for third all-time, trailing only Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

But he wasn't the only one setting records on the electric night.

The Golden State Warriors now own the all-time best single-season NBA record for wins with 73, edging the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls' 72-10 record.

Those record-setting 73 wins breaks down to a splintering 39-2 mark at home at the Oracle Arena and a 34-7 clip on the road, having gone 15-1 in the Pacific division this season.

Wednesday night's game had Stephen Curry splashing in 10 three-pointers.

It marked the sixth time in his career that Curry notched double-digit threes.

Within that, he became the first NBA player ever to notch 400 three-pointers, ending this season with a record 402 shots made from beyond the arc.

Those 402 three-pointers made destroyed his own single-season record of 286 from his MVP season last year.

Curry and his Splash Brothers' teammate Klay Thompson finished this season with 678 combined three-pointers.

Just eye-popping numbers from an incredible NBA night.
