1. Oklahoma City Thunder (43-12)

They finished the first ‘half’ of the season on an unbelievable tear lead by Kevin Durant. They kick off the second half of the season with a game against the Heat with the returning Russell Westbrook. Hold me back.

2. Los Angeles Clippers (37-18)

I don’t like to put too much stock into player performances in the All-Star game but it’s hard to overlook Blake Griffin. His 38 points continued his streak of high performance and he looked like threatening Wilt Chamberlain’s ASG record 42 points until the West’s late collapse.
