Warriors set North American record for longest playoff winning streak

Nothing like the Golden State Warriors' ongoing run of perfection has ever been seen in any of North America's four major sports leagues.

With a 15th straight postseason victory Wednesday - a 118-113 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 - the Warriors passed the Pittsburgh Penguins for the longest playoff winning streak compiled by any team in the NBA, NHL, NFL, or MLB.

With a win in Game 4 on Friday night at the Q, Golden State would become the first team in NBA history to go undefeated en route to a championship. The 2001 Los Angeles Lakers came close when they went 15-1 before capturing the title.
