Milwaukee also has 2 wins but only 11 losses after the drubbing by Detroit, which puts them 3 games back in the loss column for the best chance to get the number one pick in the draft.
In the upper echelon, Portland beat the Knicks easily, and Indiana took out Minnesota – No, I am not talking about dinner, more like the woodshed. The two teams will meet on Dec. 2 with Indiana facing the Clippers on Dec. 1 as the most likely next loss for the Pacers.
Portland will face the Lakers in L.A. on Dec. 1 before hosting the Pacers at the Formerly-Known-as-the-Rose-Garden. Portland will play the late game which could make it tough for the Blazers to keep their streak alive – assuming that Pau Gasol and company don’t assert themselves.
