We are just about two weeks into the 2021-22 NBA regular season and there has already been so much that has happened. There have been excellent individual performances, as new stars are seemingly breaking out every night with highlights that cause your jaw to drop.
As things currently stand, there are six teams tied for the best record in the NBA. The Chicago Bulls lead the Eastern Conference standings at 5-1 with the Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Washington Wizards, and Philadelphia 76ers are right in the mix.
In the Western Conference, it is the Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors leading the way at 5-1.
There are currently seven teams with only one victory bringing up the rear. Some are not too surprising, such as the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons, and Orlando Magic. But the LA Clippers and Indiana Pacers having two wins is surprising.
