20. <p>Losing to the Suns at home is… bad.</p> <p>Los Angeles and Phoenix have been flip-flopping in the two and three spots in recent weeks, but sometimes, it is as easy as evaluating a single game. The Lakers fell by a 95-90 margin to the Suns on Friday night in Phoenix, and prior to that, Los Angeles began the week with losses to the Knicks and Kings in the Staples Center. Yikes.</p>. (14-55). Previous: . Los Angeles Lakers. 2. team

93. <p>A win over the Nets last week wasn’t enough to lift Brett Brown and his team out of cellar. Let’s just agree that going winless this week won’t do the team any favors. Philadelphia wasn’t <em>particularly</em> embarrassing against the Pistons, Nets, Wizards and Thunder over the course of the past seven days, but it would be difficult to muster an argument for anyone else in this place.</p> <p>The defense rests.</p>. (9-60). Previous: . Philadelphia 76ers. 1. team
