The previous record was 11, held by five different teams, each winning the NBA Championship that postseason. This record would later be tied by the 2013-14 San Antonio Spurs and the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors. *Highest Field Goal Made Percentage, post season: Chris "Birdman" Andersen shot 80.7 percent (46-of-57) from the field in the 2013 postseason.
