6 teams to win 15 consecutive games multiple times in a single NBA regular season feat. Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers dispatched the Brooklyn Nets 109-104 during Tuesday's home matchup, extending their NBA-best winning streak to a franchise record-tying 15 games. In doing so, they made league history, becoming the sixth team to win 15 or more consecutive games twice in a single regular season.

Cleveland achieved the feat despite star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) taking the night off. Meanwhile, two of its top reserves, De'Andre Hunter (illness) and Ty Jerome (rest), were sidelined.

This has been a trend for the NBA's No. 1 offensive team (121.8 offensive rating). The Cavaliers have consistently overcome key players' absences to improve upon their league-best 55-10 record.

With 17 outings remaining, they have already clinched their first Central Division title since 2018, the last year they made the NBA Finals.

As Cleveland looks to prolong its victory spell during the campaign's stretch run, here are all the teams with multiple 15-game winning streaks in a season.
