Spurs, Pistons Back on Top

At long last, the Spurs are once again leading the Western Conference. And while no one was paying attention to the hapless East, where a 10-13 record is good enough to be the best in the Atlantic division, the Pistons are now in first, too. Seems like old times, eh?

But first in the East is only good enough for sixth in Steve Kerr’s latest power rankings. Kerr finds it noteworthy that, “The Spurs lead the NBA in three-point percentage, thanks in large part to Brent Barry, who’s making 52 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.”
