NBA Power Rankings: Gaps Tightening At The Top Of Both Conferences
By Reid Mueller
With things tightening at the top of both conferences, the latest edition of our NBA Power Rankings is here.
The NBA playoff race continues to tighten up in both the East and West down the stretch.
The Warriors and Spurs, both without key players of late, are heading towards a scenario where their seeding could be decided as late as the last night of the season. The Cavaliers are struggling a little too, opening up dreams of a one seed for Boston and Washington.
At the other end of the playoff picture, the Bucks made a big leap into the top-eight, as the Bulls hit a cold streak to find themselves a half game out of the field. Miami continues to play above .500 basketball, making their case as the best team in running for the last three seeds out East.

The Rockets played another high level team to a tightly contested game. They lost to the Spurs on a Kawhi Leonard game winner last week, but held on to beat the Cavaliers at home this week. Oklahoma City continued to build their own momentum by winning all four games in the past week, and the Clippers continue to play so-so basketball.
