The Golden State Warriors have won the first 23 games of this NBA season, extending their regular-season winning streak to 27 games. That’s good enough for second place among the NBA’s best streaks, which the Miami Heat also achieved in 2013. (Or third place, if you don’t count the Warriors’ four wins at the end of last regular season.)
But to tie the NBA record — 33 straight, set by the 1971–72 Los Angeles Lakers — the Warriors will have to win their next 10 games. What are the odds of that happening?
About 40%.
