Oklahoma City is still holding on to the top spot in my rankings, but Detroit is as close as they’ve been all season. San Antonio and New York hold down the #3 and #4 rankings. Boston jumps a couple of spots to the #5 spot this week.
Denver’s hot offense continues as they climb all the way to the #1 ranking this week, jumping Cleveland and Miami. Utah grabs the #4 spot while Oklahoma City gets the #5 ranking.
Another week of the top 5 defenses remaining the same.
