00:00 Well, two big stories in the power rankings this week.
00:03 First up is the Orlando Magic.
00:05 Winners five straight behind a suffocating defense that is
00:09 number one in the NBA during that stretch.
00:12 Now the Magic's offense has been its weakness all season long,
00:16 but they have been top 10 during this winning streak and have
00:19 been efficient with its three-point shooting without
00:22 being a high-volume three-point shooting team.
00:25 Golden State, they continue to move up the rankings.
00:28 The Warriors absorbed a 52-point beating by the Celtics on
00:31 Sunday, but they went 3-1 on this recent East Coast road
00:35 trip, have won 14 of the last 18 games, and just beat Milwaukee
00:41 by 35 points on Wednesday.
00:43 Now the Bucs game was significant because it came with
00:46 the news that Golden State is fully healthy for the first
00:50 time in a long time.
00:52 Andrew Wiggins is back, Chris Paul is healthy, and this team
00:56 is playing its best basketball with all its pieces back.
01:00 So the road may include a trip through the play-in tournament
01:04 for Golden State, but you just can't count this Warriors
01:08 team out yet.
