Boston's 27-23 record and 7 game winning streak have finally moved them past the 24-28 Lakers at #13 (the blowout win at the Garden last Thursday probably helped as well). The C's also managed to land ahead of the 28-24 Jazz (#14), the 29-22 Nets (#15), and the 27-22 Hawks (#20), who Stein continues to have no faith in.
Just in front of Boston are the Atlantic Division leading 32-17 Knicks (#10), and the 30-20 Bulls (#11). Boston host Chicago on Wednesday in the final game before the All-Star break.
