The unprecedented event in the history of the playoffs: Will the streak be broken in 2025?

It may seem that all kinds of situations have already been experienced in NBA history, but the truth is that there is still uncharted territory to conquer. So far, no team in all times has managed to become champion while finishing the playoffs undefeated. The difficulty of this task is titanic, but there have been two franchises that came very close.

It is not easy to imagine any team finishing the NBA playoffs 2025 without losing a single game. While it is true that the Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers have dominated their respective conferences with an iron fist, great things are expected from their strongest opponents in a competition full of stars and with notable equality among many teams. In any case, nothing can be ruled out in this life, not even seeing a 16-0 record from the NBA champion this season.

Just a few years ago, with the Golden State Warriors of the 2016/2017 season, it was close. They swept the Blazers, the Jazz, and the Spurs, until defeating the Cavs in the NBA Finals by 4-1, falling just one game short of achieving it. The other great team that came close to making history were the Los Angeles Lakers of the 2000/2001 season, whose only postseason loss occurred in overtime of the first game of the Finals against Iverson's Sixers.
