We're one-eighth of the way through the NBA season.
To determine which teams are playing the best so far, we came up with "net efficiency" — a simple advanced stat that gives you team's scoring margin per 100 possessions.
What we found: The Lakers are playing better than their record, the Knicks are a juggernaut, and the Heat are sleepwalking through the first month of the season.
14. Chicago Bulls (+0.2 points per 100 possessions)
Offensive efficiency: 22nd (101.4)
Defensive efficiency: 8th (101.2)
Record: 5-6
13. Minnesota Timberwolves (+0.6 points per 100 possessions)
Offensive efficiency: 21st (101.5)
Defensive efficiency: 7th (100.9)
Record: 5-5
12. Dallas Mavericks (+1.2 points per 100 possessions)
Offensive efficiency: 9th (106.8)
Defensive efficiency: 19th (105.6)
Record: 7-6
