San Francisco went from a 90-game loser to a 100-game winner in the span of a single season. I wonder if this was the greatest single-season turnaround?
BC
The modern record for single season turnaround is 35 games (Arizona won 65 in 1998 and 100 in 1999).
Unfortunately, this year’s turnaround can only be measured in win percentage since the number of games played is significantly different from ‘20 to ‘21. Using win percentage, Arizona’s improvement was .216 (.401 to .617). For SF to exceed that figure, they would have to win 114 games this year (from .483 in 2020 to .704 in 2021, an improvement of .221). Given the fact they have already lost 50 games, that isn’t possible.
Darn……
