9. Oklahoma City
Record: 21-13
Last week: 9th
The Thunder went 2-1 last week, with the lone defeat being a 114-80 loss to the Grizzlies in Memphis. That was a bad night for guard Russell Westbrook, who was ejected from the game in the third quarter and finished with 21 points, five rebounds, no assists and six turnovers. But for as rough as that loss was, the way in which the Thunder bounced back was just as impressive. OKC blew out the reeling Clippers Saturday night, with Enes Kanter scoring 23 points off the bench and Westbrook (17 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds with just one turnover) tallying yet another triple-double. Westbrook will clearly be the focal point, but the Thunder are a more dangerous team when they get balanced scoring from the supporting cast as they did against the Clippers. (Getty)
