Welcome to HoopsHabit.com’s Week 22 NBA Power Rankings! We’ll be counting down from 30 to 1, as we break down the last week in the NBA and where each team stands as we move forward.

In the highly anticipated showdown between the two winningest teams in NBA history through 68 games (combined), the Golden State Warriors battled the San Antonio Spurs for the second time this season on Saturday, with the undying Spurs holding the defending champs to only 79 points, holding MVP Stephen Curry to 4-of-18 shooting and protecting their perfect home record.

The question is, with the Dubs still on pace to crack 73 wins and the Spurs trying to stay hot on their heels, was that head-to-head victory enough to knock the Warriors out of the top spot for the first time during the 2015-16 NBA season? And meanwhile, out East, who is the biggest threat to the slowly imploding Cleveland Cavaliers?

We will be updating every Tuesday, so scroll through all of the rankings to find out where your favorite team winds up in Week 22 as we take a look at the last week of action.
