Thunder vs. Cavaliers: Numbers behind the matchup between NBA's best - ESPN

Two of the NBA's best teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers, will face each other on Wednesday (7 p.m. on ESPN).

Cleveland boasts a 31-4 record, best in the league, while Oklahoma City is right behind the Cavs at 30-5. It will mark the first time these two teams have played this late in a season where both are in first place in their respective conferences.

This is also just the second season in NBA history in which multiple teams started 30-5 or better. It also happened in 1971-72 when the Los Angeles Lakers started 32-3 and the Milwaukee Bucks started 30-5.

In 2016, the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs surpassed this mark twice, first meeting at 88 games played between them and later at 136. Oklahoma City and Cleveland meet again on Jan. 16.

The two sides head into the matchup on hot streaks — especially the Thunder. They are on a franchise-record 15-game winning streak — their NBA Cup Final loss doesn't count toward the regular season.

Wednesday marks the third time in NBA history teams each riding double-digit win streaks will face off. It's the first time since the Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers matched up in 2000.

Oklahoma City will also be the third team in NBA history to take on the team with the NBA's best record while on a
