The Warriors of Golden State The Golden State Warriors had the greatest single regular season record in the 2015-16 season. The Warriors had 73 wins and 9 defeats for a winning percentage of.890 that season, surpassing the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who went on to win the Eastern Conference and the NBA title. With this record, they also became the first team to have at least 50 wins before even playing in their home stadium. Before the start of the 2016-17 season, many experts predicted that it would be another long year for Warriors fans as there were several strong teams fighting for top spot in the West. However, thanks to one of the greatest performances by a player ever, Stephen Curry, the Warriors were able to retain their crown with 72 wins.
Curry is the main reason why everyone loves the Warriors so much. He is an amazing shooter who can score at will whenever he wants. On top of that, he is known for his incredible work ethic and love for the game. He has also been praised for his leadership skills since he came into the league. Although some people say he is overrated, others claim he is one of the best players in the world today.
The Golden State Warriors were 73-9 at the end of the 2015-16 season. Golden State put on the best regular-season performance we've ever seen, breaking NBA records along the way. The Warriors set a single-season victory record by opening the season 24-0 and never losing consecutive games throughout the regular season. They also set records for most points scored (1,763) and most wins in a season (115). In addition, they did not lose more than four games in a row all year long.
Other teams that made the playoffs are Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Minnesota, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, San Antonio, and Utah. The Eastern Conference was better than the Western Conference this year; however, there is still plenty of basketball to be played before we can say which conference is better. In fact, if the playoffs started today, then the East would win in five games over the West.
Of the current playoff teams, only Chicago has made the postseason every year since its inception in1971. The Bulls have won more games than any other team over the last two seasons, and they're looking to continue their success this year after making it to the Eastern Conference Finals last year. If Chicago keeps up its play, then it will be hard for anyone to stop it this year.
After missing out on the playoffs last year, the Cleveland Cavaliers have come back with a vengeance this year.

We've previously spoken about the most victories in a single NBA season. Now it's time to showcase the list of the league's worst teams ever. Forget about the historic teams, such as the Golden State Warriors in 2016 or the Chicago Bulls in 1996. The NBA's Worst Regular Season Records
| # | 12 |
|---|---|
| Team | Houston Rockets |
| Season | 1983 |
| W-L | 14-68 |
In the 1969–70 season, the Knicks set a then-single-season NBA record by winning 18 consecutive games on way to a 60–22 record, the greatest regular season record in the franchise's history at the time. The record has since been broken twice (by the 1999–2000 Chicago Bulls and the 2013–14 Miami Heat).
The 1960s were a great decade for the Knicks, as they won four championships overall (in addition to their record-setting season) - more than any other team in the league. Hall of Famers Walt "Clyde" Frazier and Bill Russell played for the Knicks during this period.
The Knicks have never had a losing season, with their worst record being 17-65 in the 1995-96 season. They have finished with two different records of 50 or more wins five times, most recently in 2014-15 when they finished with a 52-10 mark.
Their all-time leader in wins is Joe Lapchick, who passed away in 2000 after playing only six seasons for the Knicks. He left as one of just three players in NBA history with over 1,000 points and 100 rebounds in his career. His number 8 has been retired by the club.
The Los Angeles Lakers' Win Streak It should come as no surprise that the Los Angeles Lakers top the list of the NBA's longest winning streaks. The Lakers won 33 consecutive games in 1971-72, 11 more than the Houston Rockets, who are ranked second on the record. The Portland Trail Blazers rank third with 22 wins in a row.
The Chicago Bulls are the only other team to have a 20-game win streak, which they accomplished from January 16, 1996 to March 29, 1996. The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks share the fourth spot with 18 victories each.
The Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder are the first two teams to appear on this list. They both have 17 wins going into their game on April 13th. The Sonics had the better record before the Thunder joined the NBA in 1970. The San Antonio Spurs are fifth with 16 wins in a row. Sixth place goes to the Miami Heat with 15 straight wins. They're followed by the Utah Jazz (14), LA Clippers (13), Indiana Pacers (12), Detroit Pistons (11), and Orlando Magic (10).
The Celtics of Boston The Milwaukee Bucks will be the 19th club to win the NBA Finals in 2021. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics have the most victories, both having won the competition 17 times. The Boston Celtics also held the record for the most straight championships, winning eight in a row from 1959 to 1966. The Lakers are second with six consecutive titles.
In addition to these two legendary franchises, several other teams have five or more wins including the Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, and Philadelphia 76ers.
The Warriors hold the all-time record for most championship games played (nine). The record is tied with the Lakers and Jazz.
Based on how many times each franchise has appeared in the NBA Finals, the Celtics and Lakers are expected to be among the top four seed this year. However, due to health issues, both Boston and LA might not be at their best when it matters most - during the playoffs.
In conclusion, the Boston Celtics have the best record of any NBA franchise. They have won more than any other team with 17 titles to their name.
