6. Toronto
Record: 22-10
Last week: 4th
Toronto's drop isn't because of their 121-111 loss at Golden State; lots of teams lose to the Warriors in Oakland. The Raptors drop two spots because of their loss in Phoenix the following night, 99-91. Being tired in the second game of a back-to-back isn't surprising, and Dwane Casey's Raptors certainly looked the part against the Suns. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan scored 24 apiece in the loss, with Cory Joseph adding 15 off the bench, but no other Raptor scored more than eight points against one of the NBA's worst defensive teams. The good news for Toronto is that they've got just one game remaining in this four-game road trip (Tuesday in San Antonio) after beating the Lakers Sunday night. (Getty)
