Toronto is first after beating Washington 112-102, Dallas second and Charlotte third, even though the Hornets lost to Atlanta by 47\. Ten teams share fourth. Three games were decided late. Utah trailed New Orleans 90-86 after three quarters and won 120-119\. Memphis trailed Golden State 90-84 entering the fourth and won 111-108\. Chicago was down 104-102 at Milwaukee after three and won 132-125\. Boston led New York 83-73 after three quarters and held on 107-103. Not every winner moved up. Minnesota beat Orlando 115-93 to go 2-0, but both of its opponents are 0-2, so it sits in the tie for 15th. A win over a team with a poor record can lower a Rating. ### Friday's results | Final (away first) | Away rank | Home rank | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | --------- | | [Atlanta](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-atlanta/) 128 @ [Charlotte](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-charlotte/) 81 | 1 → 4 | 1 → 3 | | [Chicago](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-chicago/) 132 @ [Milwaukee](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-milwaukee/) 125 | 1 → 4 | 1 → 15 | | [Dallas](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-dallas/) 121 @ [Indiana](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-indiana/) 105 | 1 → 2 | 1 → 14 | | [Detroit](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-detroit/) 128 @ [Miami](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-miami/) 111 | 1 → 4 | 1 → 15 | | [Houston](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-houston/) 114 @ [San Antonio](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-san-antonio/) 110 | 1 → 4 | 1 → 15 | | [LA Clippers](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-la-clippers/) 117 @ [LA Lakers](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-la-lakers/) 125 | 1 → 4 | 1 → 4 | | [Memphis](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-memphis/) 111 @ [Golden State](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-golden-state/) 108 | 1 → 4 | 1 → 15 | | [Minnesota](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-minnesota/) 115 @ [Orlando](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-orlando/) 93 | 1 → 15 | 1 → 15 | | [New Orleans](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-new-orleans/) 119 @ [Utah](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-utah/) 120 | 1 → 15 | 1 → 4 | | [New York](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-new-york/) 103 @ [Boston](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-boston/) 107 | 1 → 15 | 1 → 4 | | [Portland](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-portland/) 128 @ [Sacramento](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-sacramento/) 120 | 1 → 15 | 1 → 15 | | [Toronto](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-toronto/) 112 @ [Washington](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-washington/) 102 | 1 → 1 | 1 → 4 | Ranks are The Precedent's Rating, yesterday → today. ### Rating Top 10 | Rank | Team | Record | Rating | Move | SOS | SOS rank | | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------ | ---- | ----- | -------- | | 1 | [Toronto](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-toronto/) | 2-0 | 0.500 | — | 0.250 | 2 | | 2 | [Dallas](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-dallas/) | 1-1 | 0.375 | ▼1 | 0.188 | 7 | | 3 | [Charlotte](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-charlotte/) | 1-1 | 0.334 | ▼2 | 0.125 | 12 | | 4 | [Atlanta](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-atlanta/) | 2-0 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.167 | 11 | | 4 | [Boston](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-boston/) | 1-1 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.125 | 12 | | 4 | [Chicago](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-chicago/) | 1-1 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.250 | 2 | | 4 | [Detroit](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-detroit/) | 2-0 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.125 | 12 | | 4 | [Houston](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-houston/) | 2-0 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.188 | 7 | | 4 | [LA Clippers](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-la-clippers/) | 1-1 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.125 | 12 | | 4 | [LA Lakers](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-la-lakers/) | 2-0 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.125 | 12 | | 4 | [Memphis](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-memphis/) | 2-0 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.125 | 12 | | 4 | [Utah](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-utah/) | 1-1 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.125 | 12 | | 4 | [Washington](https://theprecedentmedia.com/nba-washington/) | 1-1 | 0.250 | ▼3 | 0.250 | 2 | Teams tied on Rating share a rank.
