NBA Rankings - 20 Nov

The Golden State Warriors are still the best team in the league, and are only the fifth team in history to start a season 13-0, and the first in over a decade. They are the only choice for #1, but the Spurs are also pretty close to the defending champs, while every other team is distantly behind the two favorites. Here are my full rankings through 3 weeks:
