Nets set new single season NBA franchise record for winning percentage in 123-109 win over Cavs

The last time The Nets boasted a winning percentage over .600, Jason Kidd was running point and the team would clinch its first of back-to-back NBA finals appearances. At a record of 50-32 back in 2001-2002, that .634 winning percentage held up for nearly 20 seasons.

Now, with their big three only playing eight games as a complete unit, and Steve Nash using 38 different starting lineups, the Nets clinched a 48-24 record and .666 winning percentage for the season. The NBA regular season was shortened from 82 games to 72 games and the Nets still reached unprecedented heights by climbing to 24 games over .500 for the first time in their NBA franchise history.

In their ABA days, led by Julius Erving, the Nets went 55-29 in both the 1973-1974 season and 1975-1976 season and in both those campaigns they won the ABA finals. In 1974-1975, the Nets went a franchise-best 58-26, but fell short in the first round of the playoffs to the Spirits of St. Louis
