NBA Rankings - 19 Nov

The Clippers lost a game this week, while both San Antonio and Golden State were perfect this week, but the Clippers lead was too large to be overcome with only one loss. The hottest teams of the week were Chicago and Minnesota, with the Bulls also finishing the week without a loss, while the Timberwolves made a big move upward despite a 2-2 week. The Wolves' losses came against the Clippers and Hornets, but their win over the Lakers by 26 last Sunday was the biggest reason for their jump. Here are my full current rankings:
