2018-19 NBA Power Rankings: The naughty and the nice in Week 11

team. 29. <p><strong>Naughty:</strong> If the season ended today, the San Antonio Spurs’ 21-year playoff streak would be over. Their defense just barely climbed out of the bottom-third in the league, and in a 3-point heavy NBA, they rank dead last in long range attempts and 26th in 3-point makes.</p> <p><strong>Nice:</strong> Despite not taking a lot of 3s, Gregg Popovich’s squad is first in 3-point percentage and sports a top-five offense. After winning seven of its last nine games, San Antonio is back above .500, right on the cusp of a playoff spot. The team’s +1.8 point differential, which ranks fourth in the conference, indicates this team has a very good chance of moving back into the top eight.</p>. 18-16. Previous: . San Antonio Spurs. 14
