NBA Power Rankings: Week Ten
By Peter Owen
3. Miami Heat (26-8) (LW: 3)
A sole loss in a wildly entertaining game against Golden State barely spoiled another solid week by the defending champs: after losing to the Warriors at home they overcame the hottest team in the East this week, ending Toronto’s five-game winning streak. Such party-poopers.
ORtg: 109.5, DRtg: 101.3
4. Indiana Pacers (27-6) (LW: 2)
Like last week, the Pacers are in a tie for the place ahead of them. This time, it’s the Heat by virtue of LeBron James being a little unstoppable. Also, I dislike complaining. Paul George was none too impressed with Matthew Dellavedova’s smothering defense in Indy’s win over Cleveland and let the media know about it. Toughen up.
ORtg: 102.2, DRtg: 93.1
