Andrew, the top story this week is the San Antonio Spurs, who are in the midst of their longest winning streak of the season, which currently stands at 11 games.
This week, the Spurs went 3-0, which included another top-tier win, this one against the Pistons in Detroit.
While it wasn't Wemby's greatest offensive performance, he grabbed 17 rebounds and had six blocks in the game.
And along with Steph Castle, made life miserable for Cade Cunningham, who shot five for 26 in the loss.
The Spurs got a big offensive boost from Devin Vassell in the game, who scored 28, including seven of 11 from three.
As of Friday morning, the Spurs are only a game and a half back of OKC for the number one seed in the West.
By the time you hear this, OKC will have wrapped up one of their toughest stretches of the season playing Cleveland, Detroit, and Denver this week.
The good news for OKC is that SGA is back for the Denver game after missing the last nine with an abdominal strain.
Now next up for the Spurs, a return to MSG on Sunday afternoon where last season...
Wemby had that memorable game dropping 42 and 18 with six three-pointers.
If the Spurs can push their streak to at least 14 by winning their next three, it will be the fourth longest winning streak in franchise history.
Franchise record was set in 2014 at 19 straight wins.
Now, the Spurs have won 11 straight, but they aren't the only team playing well.
There are actually four teams in the East who have won eight of their last ten.
A little quiz, Andrew.
The Pistons, the Celtics, the Cavs, and... Do you know the fourth team, Andrew?
No.
Who would you guess?
Who would just be a team you guess has won eight of their last ten?
Why, it's the Milwaukee Bucks, of course.
