NBA Power Rankings: Heavy’s Top 10 for December 19


3. San Antonio


Record: 22-5


Last week: 3rd


Sunday was a big day for the Spurs franchise, as they retired the number of all-time great Tim Duncan. Preceding the ceremony was a 113-100 win over New Orleans, a game in which San Antonio won despite Kawhi Leonard scoring just 13 points. LaMarcus Aldridge led a balanced effort with 22 points to go along with seven rebounds, and Manu Ginobili scored 17 off the bench as San Antonio's reserves combined to score 48 points. San Antonio's depth is one reason why they're ranked fourth in defensive rating and have the second-fewest losses in the NBA. (Getty)
