Thoughts on the Power Rankings:
The Golden State Warriors regain the number spot after a 3-1 week. The Memphis Grizzlies come in at number two having the best record at 5-1. The Houston Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Clippers round out the top five.
The Sacramento Kings, the New York Knicks, the Dallas Mavericks, the Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks are the bottom teams. The Phoenix Suns are 2-1 since firing head coach Earl Watson last week. The Kings and the Hawks were both winless this week.
