One-fourth of the way through the 82-game schedule, there's a new No. 1 at last atop ESPN.com's NBA Power Rankings.
After one of the wildest regular-season weeks in recent memory, Golden State rose to the summit of our ladder despite its double-overtime home loss to Houston, capitalizing on stunning three-game losing streaks suffered by the reigning champs from Cleveland as well as the LA Clippers to knock the Cavaliers out of the top spot for the first time all season.
Toronto is the other big mover on this Rankings Monday, rising to No. 2 on the strength of an impressive six-game winning streak fueled by a scorching offense and helped along by the rash of upsets that, at its most extreme, saw San Antonio (home loss to Orlando), Cleveland (loss at Milwaukee) and the LA Clippers (double-overtime) loss at Brooklyn all fall on the same evening.
