Previous: . Golden State Warriors. 1. team. 41. Stephen Curry combined for 61 points and 12 threes on Saturday, but the Warriors still need that third scorer and didn’t get it in Sacramento, where <strong><a rel=. (43-8)

26. team. 27. Amid all the Melo-drama, the Knicks’ young bench has been a bright spot, and <strong><a rel=. (22-30). Previous: . New York Knicks

27. team. 38. The Magic got a win over the struggling Raptors on Friday, but aren’t going anywhere in the standings and have to be thinking more about where they want to be a year from now. If they’re shopping Serge Ibaka, he’s helped them with increased production over the last couple of weeks (though he shot 2-for-9 in Saturday’s loss in Atlanta), but he hasn’t made any real impact defensively and ranks as one of the league’s worst rim protectors. The Magic have been a bottom-five team on both ends of the floor and have been outscored by a league-worst 10.6 points per 100 possessions as they’ve gone 3-9 over the last three-plus weeks.. (20-32). Previous: . Orlando Magic

The Lakers brought Magic Johnson back to the organization last week and <strong><a rel=. (17-36). Previous: . Los Angeles Lakers. 28. team. 20

The two wins against the Toronto Raptors did feel like a nice shot in the arm. But reality does come in. And that was the theme of this week.

The Magic are still statistically one of the worst teams in the league. It does not really look like the team will turn that corner.
