So far this season, the Warriors and Suns have dominated the league's top two positions for a long time, but if you talk about the record in December 2021 alone, neither team is in the top three of the league. In December, only 3 teams in the league won more than 70%, without the Warriors and the Suns, who are there?
So far this season, the Warriors have ranked first among the 30 teams in the league with a record of 28 wins and 7 losses, followed by the Suns with a record of 27 wins and 8 losses, and they are the only two teams in the league so far this season with a winning percentage of not less than 75%. However, in December 2021, the Warriors lost 4 of 13 regular-season games and the Suns lost 5 of 14 regular-season games, and both teams won less than 70.0% in this month.
It may seem inconceivable to many people that have three teams this month that have a better win rate than the Warriors and the Suns, but that's the truth. The current number one in the East is not the defending champion Bucks, nor the Nets, which own the Big Three, but the rebuilding Bulls. DeRozan's two consecutive games have been impressive, and the Bulls' winning nine of the 11 regular season games in December 2021 proves that it's no accident that they've beaten opponents in a row, with the Bulls winning 81.8% in this month! It is worth mentioning that this is the second time since Michael Jordan's retirement that the Bulls have won at least 80.0% in December.
However, the Bulls' 81.8% win rate this month can only rank second in the league, so whose record is the first in the league? It's not the Warriors and Suns, and the Bucks and Nets, the two biggest title-contenders, have less than 70.0 percent win rates this month, and the Jazz are the answer. In December 2021, the Jazz won 12 of the 14 regular season games, with a staggering 85.7 percent win rate, setting a record for the highest monthly win rate in Jazz history in December!
Aside from the Jazz and Bulls, the only team in the league in December 2021 to win at least 70.0% was the Grizzlies, winning 12 of the 16 games and winning 75.0%! It is worth mentioning that this is the first time in the history of the Grizzlies that they have played a winning percentage of not less than 70.0% in December!
In December 2021, only three teams in the league, the Jazz, bulls and Grizzlies, won more than 70%, and even the warriors and suns, two popular teams, did not play their high winning percentage. Jazz as last season's regular season record of the league's first team has not been eroded by the epidemic so far this season, there is a possibility of playing a better performance, the Bulls and Grizzlies as the dark horses of this season, have the potential of "one black to the end", but the Lakers have no signs of recovery at this time is disappointing.
