Team Surges

The latest NBA power rankings highlight surprising performances as the Detroit Pistons reach a 15-2 record with a 13-game winning streak, while the Los Angeles Clippers have become a disaster despite high offseason expectations. The top seven teams have won 60 of their last 70 games, including unexpected surges from the Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns. These rankings balance current results with reasonable future expectations heading into Thanksgiving.
