Jan. 15 -- The Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks now have something more in common than having the two best records in the Western Conference. The Suns topped the Grizzlies on Monday for their 10th straight victory. Phoenix also had a franchise-record 15 game winning streak earlier this season. Dallas has also had a pair of double-digit streaks this season, winning 12 and 13 consecutive straight games.

Only five other times since the NBA absorbed the four ABA teams in 1976 have two different teams compiled winning streaks of at least 10 games in the same season. The last two teams to do it in the same campaign were the Spurs and Lakers in 2003-04. All five of the previous occurrences since 1976 are listed below.

2003-04: Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs
2001-02: Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs
1992-93: Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns
1990-91: Detroit Pistons and Portland Trail Blazers
1980-81: Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics
