Here you have the list with the top all-time longest winning streaks in the NBA Regular Season. The Lakers led by Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain and Gail Goodrich are at the top with their famous 33 victories. L.A. appears 3 more times here. Nine of the 18 teams from this list ended up winning the championship.
Two teams from the 2006-07 season made this list, both Mavericks and Suns won 17 consecutive games. The Rockets of 2007-08 climbed to second place despite losing Yao Ming after their 12th victory. The 2008-09 Celtics saw their franchise record 19-game winning streak come to an end in the worst scenario: at L.A. against the Lakers on Christmas Day. |
