This week's hottest team was the Memphis Grizzlies, who won all 4 times they played this week, stretching their win streak to 5 games and 10 of their past 11. They are still currently sitting in 9th in the competitive West, but with 4 wins over playoff-bound teams during this 5-game stretch, they are certainly headed in the right direction.
Oklahoma City moved up to #1 after another awesome week in which they extended their winning streak to 10 games, with Kevin Durant scoring at last 30 points in 12 straight games, a streak that ended last night due to the game against Brooklyn being out of reach early. The 10-game streak includes 5 wins over top-10 teams, including road wins at San Antonio, Miami, and Houston.
Boston has cooled off even more than they already had, losing all three contests this week, even when they hosted the sad-sack 76ers on Wednesday. The Celtics have not won two straight since the middle of December, and they finally dropped enough to fall from the top 8 in the East, which is difficult to do.
