The race for the final playoff spots in both the East and West is starting to tighten up. And that may play a major role at the trade deadline, writes Britt Robson in his NBA Power Rankings.

The best basketball in the NBA is being played in the Western Conference. Seven of the top 10 in Britt Robson's latest Power Rankings are in the West, including the top-ranked Spurs.

Shaq is back, Mo Williams looked confident and LeBron dominated. The Cavs beat the Bulls 96-83 in their playoff opener, and they couldn't have scripted it any better, says Britt Robson.
