#3 New Jersey Nets - 10 (2003 NBA Playoffs)

The New Jersey Nets, now known as the Brooklyn Nets, had an inconsistent start to their 2003 NBA Playoffs campaign. They faced the Milwaukee Bucks in round one and were level 2-2 by the end of the first four games of the series. But after that, they were a force to be reckoned with as they went on to win their next ten consecutive games.

The Nets swept the Boston Celtics in round two and the Detroit Pistons in the Conference Finals to clinch an NBA Finals berth, their second in a row. Despite their best efforts, the Nets lost the Finals 4-2 against the San Antonio Spurs, finishing as the runners-up for the second season on the trot.

#2 San Antonio Spurs - 12 (1999 NBA Playoffs)

The San Antonio Spurs are the only franchise to have had 10+ game-winning streaks in two separate NBA playoff campaigns.

They recorded 12 straight wins in the 1999 NBA playoffs campaign. The Spurs started their postseason against the Minnesota Timberwolves in round one. They won the first game, but the Timberwolves managed to tie the series in the next match and level the contest 1-1. The Spurs reigned supreme after that as they went onto win the next two matches to claim a 3-1 series win.

Their winning streak extended to 10 after they defeated the LA Lakers in round two and the Portland Trail Blazers in the Conference Finals in consecutive series sweeps. The Spurs then played the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, winning the first two games, which was the last win of their winning streak. They fell to a defeat in Game 3 but bounced back in the next two games to win the NBA title.


#1 Golden State Warriors - 15 (2017 NBA Playoffs)

The 2017 Golden State Warriors are regarded as one of the best teams in the history of the NBA. They were determined to claim the championship again after they blew a 3-1 series lead to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the previous season.

They had four All-Stars on their team comprising Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Their historic playoff campaign fell just one game shy of achieving a 16-0 record. They won all their Conference series by a 4-0 margin, defeating the Portland Trail Blazers in round one, the Utah Jazz in round two and the San Antonio Spurs in the Conference Finals.

The Cleveland Cavaliers managed to win one game and avoid a series sweep in Game 4 at home. However, the Warriors maintained their 100% win record at home by clinching Game 5 and reclaiming the title from the defending champs Cleveland.
