Tanking in the NBA is totally out of control right now. Until last night, the bottom 10 teams in the NBA had combined to lose 44 consecutive games as everyone positions itself for the best odds to draft Duke's Cameron Boozer, BYU's AJ Dybantsa, and Kansas's Darryn Peterson.

That streak was snapped last night thanks to wins by the Jazz, Pelicans, and Bulls, though Utah and New Orleans beat two other teams in the bottom 10, so somebody had to win.
