NBA East and West rankings after Bucks loss, Cavaliers, Wolves wins
See how the NBA East and West rankings have performed according to the latest results. The Bucks stayed on top of the East despite their loss to the Sixers, the Cavaliers are a solid 4th, the Wolves look 6th in the West.
The Sixers beat Milwaukee to end the Bucks’ 16-game winning streak, but they couldn’t topple them off the top of the East either, as Milwaukee still leads … a slight margin over the Celtics while Philadelphia is firmly in the running is the place No. 3.
The Heat continue to battle for No. 6 in the East after defeating the Hawks while the Cavaliers remain at No. 4. In the west, the Wolves are now just a breath away from the sixth-placed Mavericks after beating the Kings.
