Uncover the Untold Stories Behind Every NBA Franchise’s Greatest Team Since 1986-87—You Won’t Believe Who Tops the List!
Minnesota Timberwolves: 2023-24 (7.04)
We wondered whether the 2023-24 Wolves team that won 56 games was the best since the franchise debuted in 1989-90. But better than the Kevin Garnett-Stephon Marbury teams? Yes. Better than the KG-Sam Cassell-Latrell Sprewell 2003-04 team that went a franchise-best 58-24? Yes. The 2003-04 club that also lost in the West finals had a TRACR of 6.04.
Toronto Raptors: 2018-19 (6.99)
Everyone loves to reminisce about the Tracy McGrady-Vince Carter Raptors, but the best teams in franchise history have played more recently. Toronto won 59 games and had a 6.67 TRACR with Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan leading the way in 2017-18. The team’s gamble on Kawhi Leonard, who was almost certain to leave after one season, then paid off in 2018-19 when it won 58 games and the first title in franchise history. It was the team’s best season (since entering the league in 1995-96), per our model.
