One of the reasons Philly has moved up is because the Magic and Heat decided to fall apart this week
It was just a few weeks ago.
We were talking about these two teams.
They were both on five game winning streaks.
Before a win over the Kings on Thursday, the Magic dropped six in a row, including a devastating loss to the now 16 win Pacers at home who ended their franchise worst 16 game losing streak.
The Heat did get a nice win over the Cavs on Thursday, but they had dropped their previous five games, which moved them down to the 10-seat.
Meanwhile, the Hornets continue to win.
They won all three of their games this week, including an impressive 114-103 win over the Knicks on Thursday.
The Hornets are now 23-6 in their last 33 games.
That is the second-best record in the league over that span, behind only the Spurs.

In the span of

Nas Reed was called for a charge against Alperin Shingun, a play that clearly looked like a block on review.
Luckily, the Wolves had a challenge to review it.
But after review, Scott Foster quickly mumbled through an explanation of why it was the correct call.
And then when Nas Reed protested, he received a technical and then was immediately ejected.
Now, to the surprise of no one, the last two-minute report confirmed that the play was a block, along with several other errors Scott Foster's crew made down the stretch of that game.
The win was important for the Wolves, who have now gone a game and a half up on the Rockets for the five-seat.
Now, the Wolves' current first-round matchup, if they stay in the five-seat,
