4. San Antonio
Record: 30-7
Last week: 3rd
The Spurs are ranked in the top five in both offensive (fifth) and defensive rating (first), and after an overtime loss in Atlanta they've won three straight. The defense has been the big reason for the current streak, with San Antonio holding all three opponents under 100 points and two of those teams (Toronto and Charlotte) were held to 85 points or less. And after balanced scoring efforts from the reserves were factors in wins over Toronto and Denver, Davis Bertans scored a career-high 21 in San Antonio's win over Charlotte. Four of San Antonio's next five are at home, with Tuesday's game against Milwaukee being the toughest of the bunch on paper. (Getty)
