One highlight of the streak: Shaq scores 61 on Clips.

Nearly 30 years ago, the Lakers won 33 straight between Nov. 5, 1971 and Jan. 7, 1972. Those Lakers would win 69 games, led by Gail Goodrich (25.9 points), Jerry West (25.8 points, 9.7 assists), Jim McMillian (18.8 points), Wilt Chamberlain (14.8 points, 19.2 rebounds) and Happy Hairston.

A season earlier, the Lew Alcindor-led Bucks won 20 in a row between Feb. 6 and March 8, 1971.

And that's it. So let's break down this historic streak by Phil Jackson's team. Enjoy.
