How this list works

A streak is active when it includes a series' latest meeting and that meeting came in the league's current or previous season. Streaks shorter than 3 games are left out, and a tie ends one. Longest first, then the older start.

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