With the Warriors on the brink of surpassing the 1995-96 Bulls for the best regular-season record of all time, people can’t help but debate which team is better.
Depending on whom you ask and what rules the series is played under, the answer could be drastically different. FiveThirtyEight simulated the series on a neutral court using each team’s Box Plus/Minus (BPM) ratings and found that there is a 65 percent chance the Bulls win, and the most likely outcome is they win in six games. Meanwhile, NBA 2K’s simulations found a different result with the Warriors in six as the most likely outcome.
