NBA Power Rankings: Post-deadline movers and shakers

The Cavs are back! Back into the top 10 of our rankings, that is.

While one game might not be enough to call the Cleveland Cavaliers' trade deadline makeover a roaring success, a blowout win over their Eastern Conference rival, the Boston Celtics, could be the spark LeBron James & Co. have been searching for.

Speaking of the Celtics, they just lost their perch atop the East -- and accompanying top-three ranking on our list -- to the red-hot Toronto Raptors, winners of five straight games.

Meanwhile, in the Western Conference, it's the Houston Rockets holding off the Golden State Warriors once again for the top spot.
