Oklahoma City remains the top team in the league. However, they have lost two games in the last two weeks. We all knew that the run couldn’t last but are we seeing a few kinks in their arsenal? Maybe the referees aren’t giving them as many free throw opportunties as they normally get? I might have to dig into that soon. Detroit, New York, San Antonio and Denver round out my top 5.
Denver, Utah, Miami, Houston and Oklahoma City are the top 5 offenses this week. Brooklyn continues to be the worst.
Oklahoma City, Boston, Golden State, Houston and Detroit are the top 5 defenses this week. Washington no longer has the worst defense in the league. Utah has overtaken them for the worst. Both of them are playing at a level far worse than any other team.
