Three undefeated teams remain: the reigning NBA Champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the Victor Wembanyama-led San Antonio Spurs, and, surprisingly enough, the Chicago Bulls. Chicago is 5-0 for the first time since the 1996–97 season, when they won 69 games and an NBA Championship. That season, Chicago opened with 12 straight wins before finally falling to the Utah Jazz on November 23.
The 2025–26 squad has already been tested, with three of its five victories coming against playoff teams from a year ago. Still, the Bulls’ schedule won’t be easing up anytime soon. Over their next five games, they’ll see the New York Knicks once more, followed by the Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the undefeated Spurs.
