What happened

So much can change across 43 days in an NBA season.

Why it matters

These series drain teams, force lineup changes and cause even the most cohesive and dominant groups to inevitably get out of sync at some point.

Common ground

There’s a reason that, before the 2026 postseason began, only two other teams in league history had ripped off at least 12 wins in a row once the tournament began.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.

CORROBORATED
Two independent web sources from June 2026 confirm that the Knicks' 12-game winning streak is tied for the second-longest single-postseason streak in NBA history (tied with the Spurs), implying only one other team (the 2016 Cavaliers, who had 15) had a longer streak, thus confirming only two other teams had reached at least 12 wins in a row prior to this run.
