Western Conference

With the win against the Denver Nuggets on November 22nd, their 15th of the current season, the reigning champions Golden State Warriors set the NBA record for most wins at the beginning of the season. They were trained by interim trainer Luke Walton during this series as their head coach Steve Kerr was recovering from a back surgery. On December 12, the Milwaukee Bucks traded the Warriors in their 25th game, the first defeat of the season. In the game against the New York Knicks on December 16, Ricky Rubio came very close to a quadruple double - he finished the game with 9 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 8 steals. Halfway through the season, two teams - the Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs - had at least 35 wins each. It was the first time in league history that two teams had so many wins in their first 41 games. In the final rematch on Martin Luther King Day between the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers , the reigning champions in Cleveland won surprisingly clearly with 132: 98. It was the biggest home defeat in LeBron James ' career. On January 25, 2016 there was the first meeting of the season between the two "historically good" teams of the Warriors and the Spurs . The Warriors won against the Spurs without Tim Duncan surprisingly clearly with 120: 90. On the same day, DeMarcus Cousins threw 56 points in the game against the Charlotte Hornets , which was the best single result of the season. A month later, Cousins' result was beaten by Anthony Davis , who reached 59 points and 20 rebounds in the game against the Detroit Pistons . By the All-Star-Break in mid-February, the situation in the table was relatively clear: with the Warriors, Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder , three teams took the top positions by a clear margin, while the disappointing Houston Rockets and the surprise teams from Utah and Portland competed to the play-offs delivered. On February 27, the Warriors managed to qualify for the play-offs - they won an extra game against the Thunder with 121-118, while the ninth-placed Rockets lost to the Spurs on the same evening. Stephen Curry scored 12 threes (NBA record) in the game. On March 19, the Spurs retaliated for their loss to the Warriors in January and won 87:79. This means that the two teams have the most regular season home wins in a row with Warriors 50 and Spurs 45 (as of March 23) . However, the Spurs lost two days later in Charlotte in a game in which they lost a 23 lead, which was Gregg Popovich's negative record. The home series of the Warriors ended on April 1 after 54 wins in a row with a loss to the Boston Celtics . The Spurs streak lasted until the two teams met again - on April 10, the Warriors won in San Antonio with 92:86, it was the Spurs' first home defeat in their 40th game of the season. At the same time the Warriors so set the record for the Chicago Bulls of the season 95/96 one for most victories (72). On the last day of the game, the Warriors managed to set a new record with a win against the Memphis Grizzlies with 73 regular season wins. On the same day, Kobe Bryant threw 60 points in the last game of his career against the Utah Jazz .

Eastern Conference

After they recorded 17 defeats in a row at the beginning of the 2014/15 season , the Philadelphia 76ers started the new season with 18 defeats. Having lost their last 10 games at the end of last season, the negative streak was de facto 28 games. It was only in their 19th game that the Sixers were able to successfully prevail against the Los Angeles Lakers . For a long time, the table situation in the Eastern Conference was very balanced - although the Cleveland Cavaliers and then the Toronto Raptors settled quite quickly from the other teams, but in places 3-11 there were constant rotations. There were both positive and negative surprise teams, especially the Boston Celtics , which took 3rd place in the conference for a long time, and the Milwaukee Bucks , which disappointed especially in the first half of the season.

Two days later, Curry set the NBA record for the most three-pointers in a game (12) in the game against the Thunder and broke his own record for the most three-pointers in a season (288 after the Thunder game).
