How this list works

Each series appears once, with the longest run of straight wins either side has had against the other. Runs shorter than 3 games are left out, and a tie ends a streak. "Active" marks a run that includes the latest meeting of a series still being played.

Each row links to the full matchup page, opened on the ABA numbers. Think you know who leads a series? Try the rivalry quiz.
