The race for the top spot continues with all three teams stumbling a bit the past week. Chicago dropped just their fifth home game of the year to the 76ers 97-85 despite 31 points for Derrick Rose. Boston meanwhile has dropped 3 of 4 losing home games to Memphis and Charlotte, barely escaping Minnesota on the road 85-82, and falling in Indiana on Monday night. And then Miami, after making history with each of the Big Three scoring at least 30 points and grabbing at least 10 rebounds in the same game, immediately went to Cleveland and lost by 12 to the worst team in the Eastern Conference.
So as it stands right now, Chicago has 2 1/2 game lead over both Boston and Miami with Boston having 1 less loss than the Heat. With Chicago and Boston own the tiebreakers against Miami so Miami will have to finish ahead of them in order to get home field advantage. This basically means they're 4 losses in back of the Bulls and 2 behind the Celtics. The remaining schedules for all three contenders:
CHICAGO (54-20)
