In the long history of professional basketball, only 15 teams have finished with a winning percentage of .805 or higher. The best finish ever was by the 1996 Chicago Bulls, who earned a grizzly 72-10 SU record that gave them an unmatched .878 winning percentage. Right now the Golden State Warriors have a legitimate shot at matching or beating that record with a 56-6 SU record that gives them an astounding pace of .903.

But here’s where things get really cool – there has never been a season where two teams have finished .800. To do this you need 66 wins in an 82-game season. The Warriors are well on their way to hitting that mark at a minimum but so are the San Antonio Spurs.

THE BEST STATISTICAL TEAM IN THE LEAGUE

San Antonio has gone “under the radar” to a certain extent because the Warriors have essentially hogged the spotlight. That’s to be expected when Golden State is having a season for the ages, but any long-term investor is going to want to take a look at the Spurs because of their current 4/1 odds to win the NBA Championship. That number is simply a lot easier to make money off of than the 2/3 odds of the favored Warriors.
