The Miami Heat lost to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, continuing a season-long trend of losing to the NBA’s elite teams. The Thunder knows the feeling.
The Thunder and Heat are tied for the worst record among elite teams against elite teams. In other words, the standings of the eight teams with winning percentages above .600, against each other, look like this:
1. San Antonio 10-5
2. Chicago 11-6
3. Boston 10-6
4. Dallas 9-6
5. Orlando 8-9
6. LA Lakers 5-7
