NBA Power Rankings (Week 24)

The Warriors may have damaged their chances of breaking the Bulls NBA record of 72 wins, but they are still an impressive 60 games over .500. This week will feature two games between the two best teams in the league. It is difficult to guess who Popovich will play in these games, but they still figure to be tough outings for the defending champions. It will be interesting to see how the Warriors bounce back at home on Thursday and in San Antonio on Sunday.
