Their winning streak has now reached 21 consecutive victories, as the two-time defending league champions have not lost since dropping their first three league games back in 1992. Their current winning streak is the best in all of pro sports, arid only 12 shy of the all-time record of 33 set by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1972. Their biggest test of the year could be this Saturday night when they face Philadelphia, who are led by Paul and Gary Gait.
