From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TheNational Basketball Association (NBA) is themajor professional basketball league in North America. The league was founded in 1946 as theBasketball Association of America (BAA).^[1] The league adopted its current name at the start of1949–50 season when it merged with theNational Basketball League (NBL).^[2] The league currently consists of thirty teams, of which twenty-nine are located in the United States and one in Canada. Each team plays 82 games in the regular season. Eight teams from each of the league's two conferences qualify for theplayoffs. The winners of theConference finals advance to thefinals to determine the NBA champions.

TheBoston Celtics have had or tied for the best regular season record a record 19 times. They won theEastern Conference 11 times, while theLos Angeles Lakers won theWestern Conference 19 times. The Celtics have won 18NBA championships, the most in NBA history. The Lakers also have a record 32Finals appearances. The Celtics and the Lakers had played each other in the Finals for a record 12 times. The Celtics won 9 of their matchups while the Lakers have only won 3.

The best single regular season record was recorded by theGolden State Warriors in the2015–16 season. In that season, the Warriors recorded 73 wins and 9 losses with awinning percentage of .890, surpassing the 72-win1995–96 Chicago Bulls, though the Bulls went on to win the Eastern Conference and the NBA championship. The 1996 Bulls and the 2016 Warriors are the only teams to win at least 70 games in a single season.^[3]

The Eastern champions have won 41 championships while the Western champions have won 37 championships. The defunct Central Division won one championship in1950. Of the 78 championships, 35 of them were won by the teams who had or tied for the best regular season record. In 10 other occurrences, the teams who had or tied for the best regular season record, lost the Finals. Six teams that had the best regular season record and won the championships in the same season, were named to the list ofTop 10 Teams in NBA History announced at the league's 50th anniversary in 1996. The Celtics, the Bulls, the Lakers and thePhiladelphia 76ers each had two teams selected, while theDetroit Pistons and theNew York Knicks each had one team selected.^[4]
