There are three teams in NBA history who have won the NBA championship but never won more than 5 games in a row during their winning season. The 1947 Philadelphia Warriors, 1969 Boston Celtics and 1978 Washington Bullets all won the championship with their longest season winning streak being 5 games.

  • I went through the worst records to win the NBA championship, and came across the same findings. Though it is theoretically possible for a 50+ win team to have less consecutive wins than 5, I'm going to defer to your answer, especially if you looked at all championship teams.
