Rookie Wire reporter Cody Taylor published his latest NBA power rankings for the past week’s slate of games.
The Oklahoma City Thunder jump up four spots from the previous rankings, as they went from No. 29 to No. 25 following a three-game winning streak.
“The Thunder got on the board this week after winning their first two games of the season. Both came against the Clippers. Oklahoma City blew out L.A. in the first meeting on Tuesday without Paul George or Kawhi Leonard and followed it with another impressive win two nights later. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 57 points in those two games against his former team. They wrapped up their week with an impressive win over the Mavericks for their third-straight victory.”
The Thunder collected wins against the LA Clippers twice and the Dallas Mavericks in overtime.
