What's the longest winning streak in NBA history?

[AussieG]

And do the Hawks have a chance of getting it?

[Mr. Jabbar]

i think its 30 something by the lakers

[Wade's Rings]

33 by the Lakers.

No don't see the Hawks beating it.

[Fork]

33

And if Miami couldn't beat it, the Hawks are definitely not beating it

[AussieG]

That's ridiculous, that's going near half the season without a loss. Wow.

Yeah can't see Hawks beating it but never saw them winning this many either.

[RoseCity07]

Hawks could beat it but I wonder how much losing a Sefalosha is going to hurt.

F*cking Kyle Korver makes them so deadly in a close game.

[Smook A.]

1st - Lakers: 33
2nd - Heat: 27
3rd - Rockets: 22
4th - Capitols/Bucks: 20

Hawks are at 19 (Tied for 6th). Their next 5 games are against Pelicans, Wizards, Warriors, Grizzlies, and Timberwolves. The 3 games after they face the Pelicans will be tough.

to be fair that winning streak did come in a weak era. Real record is 27.

It was over the course of 2 Seasons.

It was over the course of 2 Seasons.

No, it came within 1 season. And it could have been even longer had Jerry West not missed a few games just prior to the streak.

This is accurate.

[Psileas]

to be fair that #2+#3 winning streak did come in a weak era. Real #2 record is 20.
