NBA Power Rankings: Quarter Season Edition
By Peter Owen
3. Oklahoma City Thunder (LW: 6)
The Thunder, after disposing of a tired Pacers team Sunday night, are now an impressive 10-0 at home, though a 5-4 road record needs some work.
Russell Westbrook absolutely dominated his match-up on Sunday to the tune of 26 points (on 11-14 FGS), 7 rebounds and 13 assists. On a night where Kevin Durant had 34 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, the Thunder were almost unstoppable.
ORtg: 105.4, DRtg: 98.6
4. San Antonio Spurs (LW: 2)
San Antonio had an adventurous week.
They got a buzzer-beating bucket from Tim Duncan to down the Hawks before hitting the road to Mexico City for one of the NBA’s international games with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Only there was an electrical fire in the arena just 90 minutes before tip-off and the game was cancelled.
Returning home, the Spurs were jumped on by the Pacers, as mentioned earlier, and surrendered a meek 111-100 home defeat.
ORtg: 105.2, DRtg: 95.4
