NBA Power Rankings: Week Seven
By Peter Owen
3. Oklahoma City Thunder
Oklahoma City has just one loss in December, back on the 3rd in Portland. Since then, it’s been five straight wins all by nine points or more. Among the five wins were 24-point and 29-point blowouts of the Pacers and depleted Lakers respectively.
They travel to the improved Nuggets and host the Bulls before heading to San Antonio for a hugely anticipated clash of these Western Conference giants.
ORtg: 106.1, DRtg: 97.9
4. San Antonio Spurs
Tough to give the Spurs the right amount of credit this week. They’re in the cupcake portion of their schedule with four consecutive wins since the heavy loss inflicted by Indiana last week. They’ve victimized Toronto, Milwaukee, Minnesota and Utah over the last seven days.
ORtg: 107.1, DRtg: 95.6
