With only two weeks left in the season, our latest NBA Power Rankings give a strong indication of which teams are hitting their stride at the right time.
The NBA regular season has just around eight games left. Stresses are mounting for those chasing greener pastures before the playoffs start.
It was a big week for the playoff races. The Milwaukee Bucks took down the Atlanta Hawks with a late acrobatic-wacky-waving-tube-man save, sending the Bucks to the free throw line. Boston took over the number one spot in the East as the Cavaliers struggled.
The Trail Blazers kept their powerful play going, beating the Nuggets to earn the tiebreaker and take a one game lead for the eighth seed out West. Chicago did enough to stay in the conversation, sitting just one game back of the Heat for the eighth seed out East.
