Now heading into mid-season, Cleveland maintains a rather impressive top spot in Jeremy Woo's official NBA power rankings for Sports Illustrated, while Indiana still lags just a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Cavaliers (5): "A big home win against the Spurs and four wins in a row have calmed the coaching-change panic. The Cavaliers have kept focus, and now have a cozy six games going into the All-Star break. Whether you agreed with firing David Blatt or not, give GM David Griffin a little credit for making the change at what appears to have been the right time."

Record: 47-17 (1st in Eastern Conference).

Record: 31-28 (6th in Eastern Conference).
