NBA Power Rankings March 12th

The Jazz, Blazers and Sixers all continue to make moves up post the deadline.  The Jazz have won 6 in a row, and even though the quality of opponent has been bad, they've soundly beaten those teams.  The Celtics and Thunder both righted themselves a bit this week as well, moving back up but still trending negative right now.  If next week both teams are able to get back to single digit downturns we'll know they've turned a corner.  The Warriors drop a couple of spots largely due to so many injuries this past week, leading to a pair of spotty losses.
