NBA Power Rankings (Week 13)

After a tough week for the Warriors, including losses to Denver and Detroit, the Warriors bounced back by demolishing the Cavs on Monday. The 34 point home loss was one of the worst defeats in LeBron's career. It was a tough week for the Cavs who lost a closely contested game in San Antonio after putting together a strong first half. It wasn't all bad for the East leading Cavaliers, as they destroyed an inconsistent Rockets team in Houston on Friday. But after a 2-2 week the Cavs dropped to number 4 in the rankings, with the surging Thunder taking the 3 spot. The Thunder went 4-0 this week and have won 8 of 10. Right now the team to watch out for is the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs have won 11 straight games and are a league best 24-0 at home (Warriors 19-0). While most of the media has been covering Golden State, the Spurs are right where they want to be, two games back of the league leading Warriors.
