Phoenix's franchise-record 18-game winning streak came to an end last night, but they have still played well enough over the past 2 weeks to move up 3 spots to #3 in my latest rankings. The top 3 teams in the league all play in the West, but the next 10 in a row are all from the East, which is a huge change from the past couple of decades of dominance from the West. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
