The 2001 Los Angeles Lakers playoff run is widely known as the greatest of all-time, as the team went 11-0 to earn a spot in the NBA Finals.
They lost Game 1 of the Finals to Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers, but then Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and the rest of the Lakers elevated their play to an extremely high level, winning their next four games to win their second consecutive title.
No other team has been able to match their 15-1 record that postseason, until possibly now.
The Golden State Warriors are heading into the NBA Finals a perfect 12-0 this postseason.
