Even after Chris Paul left the game with a sprained thumb, the Clippers were able to continue their hot start and come away with a blowout victory thanks to the performances of DeAndre Jordan and Marreese Speights.

Russell Westbrook fell far short of his triple - double average after going for 24 points, five rebounds and four assists. The Thunder, as a unit, did not shoot efficiently from both the field and behind the arc. Oklahoma City finished 42 percent from the field, and 33 percent from three, while the Clippers were able to best those numbers with an on fire 55 percent from the field.

The Milwaukee Bucks (5 - 5) beat the Miami Heat (5 - 5) 91 - 84 on Sunday at American Airlines Arena in Miami. Miami went into halftime with an eight point lead, but the Bucks came out of the half on fire and quickly turned the deficit around, out - scoring the Heat 26 to 13 in the third quarter. They also played some solid defense and held the Heat to shoot only 41 percent from the field. The Bucks were led by Brandon Knight, who finished with 20 points (7 - for - 13 FG, 4 - 7 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and four assists. He hit a few clutch three pointers down the stretch to keep the Bucks out front and secure the victory. The two youngsters, Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo also held their own in the victory. Antetokounmpo contributed 11 points and seven rebounds, as he moved into the starting lineup and pushed Ersan Ilyasova to the bench. Parker produced 13 points of his own and grabbed 13 rebounds, as he was pushed to power forward with the addition of Antetokounmpo in the starting lineup as the small forward. Kris Middleton was dealing with a knee injury coming into this game, but finished with 10 points off the bench in 20 minutes. The Heat had all five starters reach double - digit scoring, but it was n't enough to take the victory. Mario Chalmers went 7 - for - 13 from the field and 1 - for - 1 from the three - point line to score 18 points, while also handing out five assists. He got the start at shooting guard, with Dwyane Wade sitting out. Chris Bosh came into the game averaging 22 points and 9 rebounds, but struggled offensively as he shot only 2 - for - 17 from the field and 1 - for - 6 from beyond the arc to finish with 10 points. Coming off the bench, rookie Shabazz Napier had one of his better games of the year. He had a career - high 10 points (4 - for - 5 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and also pulled down a career - high five rebounds in 26 minutes. He seemed to get a slight increase in playing time with Wade out. Shawne Williams also posted a double - double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, marking his first of the year. The Bucks' next game will be at home against the New York Knicks on Tuesday, while the Heat will go on the road to Brooklyn to take on the Nets on Monday.

The Houston Rockets (38 - 39) kept their season alive on Sunday with a 118 - 110 upset win over the Oklahoma City Thunder (53 - 24). All-Star James Harden led the game with 41 points and added nine assists. Harden's scoring outburst came at just the right time for Houston, as the Rockets remain half a game out of the Western Conference playoffs. The team went on a massive 15 - 2 run in the fourth quarter, leading to a comeback over the powerhouse Thunder. Solid defense on OKC's superstar duo of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook helped to get the job done, as the pair turned the ball over a combined 14 times. Also coming up big for the Rockets was bench big man Clint Capela, who delivered four huge blocks as well as a pair of steals. For the Thunder, Sunday marks the team's 13th loss after leading headed into the fourth quarter, the most in the league. Turnovers seemed to be the death of the team on Sunday, as the ball was coughed up 19 times all in all. Despite the loss, point guard Russell Westbrook tallied his 51st double - double of the season and was just one assist shy of a league - leading 17th triple double. Elite scorer Kevin Durant also chipped in 33 points on the night. The Thunder will visit Denver on Tuesday, while the Rockets will visit rival Dallas on Wednesday.

The Memphis Grizzlies (53 - 25) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (42 - 36) 110 - 74 on Wednesday in Memphis. The Grizzlies put on a clinic Wednesday night, shooting 51 percent from the field and 47 percent from three. Four of their five starters scored in double figures with Zach Randolph leading the way. Randolph scored 15 points (6 - 13 FG), grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out six assists in 30 minutes of play. Both Jeff Green and Marc Gasol added 15 points for Memphis, with Gasol adding eight rebounds and six assists in his effort as well. Mike Conley was the fourth Grizzlies' starter to reach double figures, putting up 10 points (4 - 9 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt) and four assists in 33 minutes. Memphis got plenty of production off the bench, with Beno Udrih scoring 14 points in 19 minutes, while Vince Carter reached 10 points in 18 minutes. In total, the Grizzlies had 47 points scored from their bench. The win brings Memphis tied with the Rockets for second place in the Western Conference playoff hunt, and it looks as though it will be between those two teams for that position. The Pelicans had a bit of an emotional hangover, as after defeating the NBA-best Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, they laid an egg against the Grizzlies. No one on New Orleans played well, with their best performance being Anthony Davis' 12 points (5 - 9 FG) and five rebounds in 28 minutes. Tyreke Evans (10) and Quincy Pondexter (11) were the only other players for the Pelicans who scored in double figures. Ryan Anderson epitomized the Pelicans' effort, going 0 - for - 6 from the field and scoring zero points in 13 minutes off the bench. As a team, they had just 13 assists to 12 turnovers and shot a poor 35 percent from the field on the night. The loss moves them back into a tie with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West, but New Orleans currently holds the tiebreaker. Up next, the Grizzlies will head to Utah on Friday to take on the Jazz, while the Pelicans head home Friday and will play the Suns.

The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the New York Knicks, 110 - 96, at Madison Square Garden on Monday. Anthony Davis is used to carrying the load for the Pelicans (15 - 24), but Monday's game was a particularly illustrative example of such. Davis exploded for 40 points, 18 rebounds, two assists and three blocks, impressively draining 14 - of - 22 shot attempts from the field and 11 - of - 12 attempts from the foul line. The All-Star forward may have been too effective for his own good, however, as he was forced from the contest after 29 minutes with a left hip injury sustained after a flagrant - 2 foul by the Knicks' Kyle O'Quinn. Despite his early exit, as well as the fact that only three other Pelicans players hit double digits in the scoring column, New Orleans still managed the double - digit victory, in large part by shooting 48 percent from the field and 44 percent from three - point range. Buddy Hield was the only other member of the first unit with double - digit scoring, posting 11 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals. Jrue Holiday tallied nine points, seven assists, four rebounds and a steal. Dante Cunningham matched Holiday's point total and added three rebounds and a steal. Tyreke Evans paced the second unit with 12 points, while Terrence Jones went for 11 points in a reserve role as well. The Knicks (17 - 21) were led by Brandon Jennings, who tallied 20 points in a start over Derrick Rose. He added five rebounds, four assists and two steals. Carmelo Anthony produced 18 points, six rebounds and an assist. Kristaps Porzingis had his hands full on defense against Davis throughout the night, likely leading to his modest totals of nine points, four rebounds, an assist and two blocks. Joakim Noah managed just four points but hauled in 10 rebounds and dished out a pair of assists. Justin Holiday and Lance Thomas led the bench with matching nine - point efforts, with each also adding a rebound. The Pelicans remain in the Empire State for their next contest, which comes on Thursday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, the Knicks hit the road and make the short trip to Philadelphia for a Wednesday evening date with the Sixers.

Serge Ibaka posted a team - high 21 points for the Magic and added seven rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals. D.J.

Tobias Harris tallied 11 points against his former Magic teammates, while Andre Drummond posted a 10 - point, 10 - rebound double - double. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope managed just nine points, but Ish Smith, back on the second unit with Jackson's return, registered a bench - leading 11 points.

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 114 - 88, at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Saturday. With the recent form of these teams a Thunder blowout was the expected result and they did n't disappoint. In fact, Oklahoma City got out to a 33 - 12 lead after the first quarter and never looked back. All the statistics were in the Thunder's favor, as they won the shooting, assisting, rebounding, steals, blocks and turnover categories. The assist - to - turnover differential was the biggest factor, with the Clippers recording 14 assists and 15 turnovers, while the Thunder committed just eight turnovers to 25 assists. The Clippers (22 - 14) are in a nightmare slump right now, as they've lost five - straight games. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin sat out this game with differing ailments and the secondary players simply did n't do enough. Austin Rivers led the starters in scoring, as he tallied 14 points and three assists on 3 - of - 11 shooting. Deandre Jordan was the starter to shoot over 40 percent, as he finished with nine points and 11 rebounds on 4 - of - 5 shooting. Brandon Bass was a lone bright spot, as he amassed 18 points and six rebounds on 7 - of - 9 shooting off the bench. Marreese Speights played well off the bench too, dropping 18 points and five boards. The Clippers will look to get out of this slide on Monday against the Phoenix Suns. The Thunder (21 - 13) have gotten a historic season from Russell Westbrook and he only added to his numbers with yet another triple - double. Westbrook actually sat out the fourth quarter, as he recorded his triple - double late in the second quarter. He finished the game with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists. Victor Oladipo made his return from a wrist injury to accrue 15 points, four rebounds and two assists. Enes Kanter led the team in scoring, as he totaled 23 points and eight rebounds off the bench. The Thunder will look to keep rolling on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Washington Wizards (8 - 3) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (5 - 6) 91 - 78 on Friday. Washington knocked the Cavaliers under .500 at a part of the season where such a state seems improbable, regardless of how early in the season it is relative to the number of games everyone has left to play. LeBron James' teams may stumble from time to time, but they do n't usually falter to the point the Cavs have thus far. The Wizards brought Bradley Beal off the bench for a second straight game as they work to get him up to speed. Beal put up 12 points in 32 minutes off the bench. Cleveland shot 36 percent from the field and coughed up 19 turnovers, two numbers that often come with a loss. While the Cavaliers have preached patience, questions about whether or not the pieces they have can fit together have already been getting tossed around liberally in NBA circles. Washington will go on the road to play the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Cleveland takes their three - game losing streak back home to face another tough opponent in the Toronoto Raptors on Saturday.

The Toronto Raptors (5 - 1) suffered their first defeat of the season on Friday, falling 92 - 87 to the Orlando Magic (2 - 4) in the game's final minute. The Magic, playing without star center Nikola Vucevic (knee), were bolstered by the play of emerging leader Victor Oladipo. The third - year guard posted totals of 18 points, seven rebounds, and six assists while turning the ball over just once against the stingy Raptors defense. Orlando also saw forward Tobias Harris post a team - high 20 points on an efficient 80 percent shooting from the field. The team was able to walk away with the win due largely to strong defensive play, as the Raptors were held to shooting just 35 percent from the field and 22 percent from behind the arc. Meanwhile, the Raptors saw disappointing performances from their perimeter players in the team's first loss of the season. All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry shot just 6 - of - 16 from the field, while offseason addition DeMarre Carroll had 10 misfires himself, shooting just 3 - for - 13. Though the team only totaled nine turnovers on the night, mistakes down the stretch - - particularly in the final minute - - ended up being the deciding factor in what was a close game. Despite falling to Orlando, the Raptors still sit at the top of the Eastern Conference. The team will prepare for a visit to Miami on Sunday as they seek to bounce back from tonight's loss. The Magic, meanwhile, will look to carry momentum from the win into Saturday, as they travel to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers.

The Denver Nuggets (13 - 17) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (5 - 23) 106 - 102 on Friday at the Pepsi Center in Denver. In the victory in front of their home crowd, Denver shot 41 percent from the field, but only 16 percent from the three - point line. The Nuggets were forced into 18 turnovers, but made up for it by out - rebounding the Timberwolves a whopping 62 - 44. With so many rebounds, the Nuggets gave themselves many second - chance opportunities, which gave them just enough of an edge to secure the win. The Nuggets bench did n't provide much help in this game, combining to score only 19 of the 106 total points. Luckily, the starters were all on their game, with each scoring in double figures. Kenneth Faried had an absolutely monster day, going 11 - for - 15 from the field and scored 26 points, while also grabbing 25 rebounds. The points and rebounds were both season - highs for the forward and a good sight for the Nuggets, as Faried has n't lived up to his expectations so far this season. Wilson Chandler also surpassed the 20 - point mark, as he went off for 21 points (7 - 21 FG, 2 - 9 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT) and four rebounds. He's averaging 14 points and six rebounds on the season. Ty Lawson provided his sixteenth double - double of the season already. He finished the game with 16 points (6 - 17 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and 11 assists. Aaron Afflalo and Timofey Mozgov recorded 13 and 11 points respectively. For the Timberwolves, Thaddeus Young and Andrew Wiggins led the way. Young went 10 - for - 21 from the field and 0 - for - 1 from the three - point line to score 23 points, while also adding six rebounds. As one of the more veteran players on the team, it was good seeing him get into a rhythm to help lead the younger guys. First overall pick Andrew Wiggins contributed 22 points (8 - 18 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 5 - 8 FT) and five rebounds. He's had a very successful streak of two games, combining for 49 points and seven rebounds over that span of time. Gorgui Dieng added another double - double to his resume, finishing with 14 points and 13 rebounds. The only other Timberwolve to reach double figures was Shabazz Muhammad, who recorded 14 points (5 - 14 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT). The Nuggets' next game will be at home against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, while the Timberwolves will travel to Oakland to play the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.

In what has been a ridiculous season for All-Star Russell Westbrook, Sunday was among the highlights. Westbrook led the Thunder to a comeback victory with 37 points on 14 - of - 26 shooting. He added 12 rebounds and six assists. Despite the ridiculous line, Westbrook failed to set the record for the most consecutive triple - doubles, which he currently shares with Michael Jordan. Westbrook's streak of seven triple - doubles snapped after Sunday's game; however, Westbrook is still averaging a triple - double on the season through 24 games. Center Steven Adams also posted big numbers for the Thunder, shooting 7 - of - 8 for 16 points and eight rebounds. For the Celtics, it was a well - rounded team affair despite the loss. Center Al Horford scored 19 and had four rebounds and six assists. Shooting guard Avery Bradley scored 18, as did forward Jae Crowder. Point guard Marcus Smart, filling in for an injured Isaiah Thomas (groin), scored 11 and dished out nine assists.

With guard Klay Thompson resting on Tuesday, the remainder of the Warriors' "Big Four" delivered stellar performances in their win over the Heat. Kevin Durant scored a team - high 28 points to go with eight rebounds and two blocks. Reigning MVP Steph Curry, meanwhile, had 24 points to go with eight rebounds and nine assists. Draymond Green scored 13 and had two steals, two blocks, nine rebounds, and five assists. As a team, Golden State had 28 assists, shot 45 percent, and hit 11 three - pointers. The night's best performance, however, may have come from Miami center Hassan Whiteside. Whiteside shot 13 - of - 17 and scored 28 points to go with 20 rebounds and two blocks. The center was utterly dominant on both ends of the floor. His individual performance, however, was not enough to overcome the loaded Warriors' team. Miami shot just 42 percent and went only 6 - of - 30 on three - point attempts.

The New Orleans Pelicans (24 - 21) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (8 - 37) 99 - 74 on Monday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. The Pelicans got started quickly in this game, out - scoring the Sixers 30 - 19 in the first quarter alone. The Pelicans were the superior shooters, going 45 percent from the field and 44 percent from the three - point line, while the Sixers shot just 35 percent from the floor and a meager 13 percent from beyond the arc. The Pelicans also did it on the glass though, securing a 52 - 38 rebounding advantage. The Pelicans were led by Anthony Davis, who continued his strong stretch of games and finished with 32 points (12 - 19 FG, 8 - 8 FT), 10 rebounds, three steals and four blocked shots. It was his third straight double - double, as he's averaged 27 points and 11 rebounds over that span of games. Coming off the bench, Ryan Anderson stayed a consistent part of the Pelicans' offense. He went 7 - for - 14 from the field and 4 - for - 5 from the three - point line to score 19 points, while also adding seven rebounds and three steals. He's combined for 37 points and 12 rebounds over his last two games, while his three steals matched a season - high. Tyreke Evans finally slowed down offensively though, recording only six points in 28 minutes. He did post 12 assists for the second straight night though, as he's been focusing on getting his teammates opportunities. Eric Gordon chipped in with 13 points (5 - 9 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 1 - 1 FT) and five assists as well. The Sixers' biggest contributor came from their bench Monday. That was rookie K.J. McDaniels, who went 5 - for - 8 from the field and 1 - for - 1 from the three - point line to score 16 points in 27 minutes. Despite averaging only 9 points per game so far this season, he's now recorded 12 or more points in three out of his last four games, so he's starting to get in a rhythm. With Michael Carter-Williams sitting out because of an illness, Larry Drew got the start at point guard. He really struggled in his 31 minutes of playing time, finishing with only four points (2 - 9 FG, 0 - 4 3Pt) and five rebounds. Both Henry Sims and Luc Mbah A Moute reached double figures as well. Sims had 14 points (4 - 9 FG, 6 - 8 FT) and three rebounds, while Mbah A Moute had 14 points (6 - 13 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT) and three rebounds of his own. The Pelicans' next game will be at home against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, while the Sixers will be at home against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.

Avery Bradley shed his defense - first label Saturday, collecting 31 points and setting career highs with 11 rebounds and eight three - pointers in a win against the Hornets. He and backcourt mate Isaiah Thomas were thorns in the Hornets' side all night, combining for 55 points on 51 percent (20 - for - 39) shooting with 10 three - pointers overall. Boston's collective 48 and 48 percent success rates from the field and three - point range, respectively, keyed a hard - fought victory that included a 33 - point fourth quarter by the Celtics. Charlotte's offensive attack continues to inordinately rely on Kemba Walker, who has 53 points over the last two games. As was the case Friday versus the Heat, Nicolas Batum was the only other member of the first unit besides Walker to tally a double - digit point total, with the other three starters shooting a combined 7 - for - 19 from the field.

The Charlotte Hornets (2 - 3) defeated the Miami Heat (3 - 2) 96 - 89 on Wednesday at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. Although the Heat turned the ball over only eight times in this matchup, the team collectively could n't score the ball enough and finished the game shooting 39 percent from the field and 19 percent from beyond the arc. The Hornets went 43 percent from the field and 28 percent from the three - point line. Despite only shooting a slightly higher percentage, and committing more turnovers, it was still enough for the Hornets to get the victory and inch a game closer to the Heat in the Southeast Division. Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh led the Heat and were the only two players to score in double figures. Bosh recorded his third double - double of the year, going for 23 points and 13 rebounds, while Wade had 25 points and seven assists. Despite dealing with an arm injury, Luol Deng was able to start Wednesday, and he had nine points and two steals in 27 minutes. Norris Cole struggled to find his shot in this one, as he went 1 - for - 6 from the field and 0 - for - 2 from beyond the arc. Rookie Shabazz Napier scored seven points in 26 minutes and stayed consistent with the types of numbers he's had for the first five games of the season. With Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (chest) out for his second straight game, Gerald Henderson got the start again. Despite the start, Henderson played only 18 minutes, and finised with just four points. Al Jefferson eclipsed the 20 - point mark and led the Hornets in scoring for the second straight game, finishing with 28 points and 10 rebounds. This was his first double - double since recording one in the season opener against the Bucks. Lance Stephenson's early - season struggles continued, as he shot only 3 - for - 12 from the field to score eight points. He was still able to contribute 13 rebounds, so it was n't all bad for the forward. Kemba Walker found his stroke Wednesday, scoring 18 points (5 - 6 FG, 2 - 2 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT) with seven assists. The Hornets' next game will be at home against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, while the Heat will be at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.

Will Barton checked in behind him with a full stat line of 22 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks. Jusuf Nurkic contributed 10 rebounds, and although Emmanuel Mudiay and Kenneth Faried combined for just six points, Jamal Murray's 22 - point effort off the bench helped make up for some of the scoring void. The Sixers were led by a pair of 17 - point efforts from Ersan Ilyasova and Sergio Rodriguez, while Joel Embiid posted 16 points and four boards. Gerald Henderson added 14 points, while rookie Dario Saric (17 points) and Richaun Holmes (11 points) were highly productive off the bench, with both players also hauling in eight rebounds apiece.

The Golden State Warriors (18 - 2) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (4 - 16) 102 - 86 on Monday at the Target Center in Minneapolis. Right from the tip - off, the Warriors were clearly the better offensive team in this one. They capped off the first half with a 48 - 39 point lead, giving them enough of an advantage to coast to a victory on the road. They shot 46 percent from the field and 23 percent from the three - point line, while the Timberwolves shot only 36 percent from the floor and a dismal 18 percent from beyond the arc. The Warriors superstar backcourt of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson was again the difference in this game, helping lead them to their thirteenth straight victory and a league - leading eighteen wins. Despite only going 1 - for - 7 from beyond the arc, Curry still hit 10 - for - 20 from the field, giving him 21 points, while also adding seven assists. Thompson on the other hand went 7 - for - 15 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 21 points of his own. The Timberwolves just did n't have a difference maker on defense who could shut either of the guards down, so they did n't have much hope in this one. Draymond Green struggled with his shot (3 - 10 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT), but was still able to contribute 10 points and 10 rebounds, giving him his second double - double in the last three games. Shaun Livingston and Marreese Speights chipped in 12 points apiece off the bench. Rookie Andrew Wiggins did all he could to keep the Timberwolves in the game. He went 8 - for - 19 from the field and 0 - for - 1 from the three - point line to score 21 points, while also pulling in six rebounds. It was the first time in the last eight games he was able to reach the 20 - point mark, pushing his season average to 11 points per game. Thaddeus Young reached double figures as well, scoring 13 points (5 - 11 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT) and grabbing seven rebounds. With so many injuries, Shabazz Muhammad continued to be a solid presence of the bench, as he went 4 - for - 8 from the field and a perfect 6 - for - 6 from the free throw line to score 14 points. He's now averaging 11 points and 3 rebounds on the year. The Warriors' next game will be at home against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, while the Timberwolves will be at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday as well.

The Bulls (7 - 3) defeated the Pacers (6 - 5) 96 - 95 in a close game at United Center on Monday. With the game on the line and five seconds left in regulation, the Pacers looked to Paul George to lift them past the Bulls, but Jimmy Butler had different plans. Butler blocked George to seal the win for Chicago in a game that the Bulls almost gave away. Despite the final possession, George still finished with a game - high 26 points, the seventh straight game he's scored 26 or more. It was a solid effort for the Pacers, who were playing with key guards George Hill (illness) and Rodney Stuckey (ankle). With those two sidelined, it was up to Monta Ellis to provide secondary scoring, which he did a decent job of. Ellis finished with 20 points (9 - 20 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), six assists and four rebounds over 36 minutes. He's posted at least 20 points and five assists in back - to - back games and has played well so far in November. Center Ian Mahinmi and power forward Jordan Hill each had 12 rebounds. While the Bulls were able to escape with a victory, they did lose Derrick Rose in the process, as the all - star point guard left the game in the second half after spraining his ankle. Rose did manage to score a team - high 23 points (9 - 18 FG, 2 - 2 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) with six assists in 33 minutes before he rolled his ankle. Butler, the Bulls' savior, scored just 17 points in 36 minutes and was in foul trouble trying to contain George all game. While Pau Gasol had an off night on the offensive end, he still managed to rip down 13 rebounds in his second straight game. Chicago travels to Phoenix to take on the Suns on Wednesday; the Pacers head to Philadelphia to try and keep the 76ers winless.

These are two teams that are really struggling right now, but this marks the Mavericks 12th - straight win over the Lakers. Despite Los Angeles leading by double - digits in the first half, Dallas rode a 31 - 13 third quarter to eventually win by 12.

The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves by a 112 - 100 score at Moda Center on Saturday night. The Trail Blazers (34 - 38) came into Saturday's contest trying to keep the pressure on eighth - seeded Denver, which they could come within one game of catching with a win against the Timberwolves (28 - 44). Portland was able to take advantage of what was likely a tired Minnesota squad that had just given up 130 points on Friday night in an overtime loss to the Lakers. The dynamic duo of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum once again led the way for the Blazers, which collectively shot an outstanding 63 percent from the floor and 50 percent from three - point range. Their offensive proficiency and 35 - 27 rebounding advantage helped them overcome 14 turnovers to cruise to a relatively comfortable home victory. The Timberwolves were led by Andrew Wiggins, who supplied 20 points, two assists and one steal. Kris Dunn led the bench with 17 points, four rebounds, one assist and two steals. Karl-Anthony Towns and Ricky Rubio followed with matching 16 - point efforts, with the former adding five rebounds and a block, and the latter registering four rebounds, four assists and one steal.

The Chicago Bulls (13 - 8) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (6 - 17) 98 - 94 in a nail - biter on Saturday. There were a ton of swings in this game and it came down to a 34 - point fourth quarter for the Bulls to runaway with a win. The statistics indicate a Pelicans victory, as they shot 45 percent to the Bulls 42 percent and outassistted Chicago 26 - 17 in the loss. The key for the Bulls was the free - throw shooting, as they went 24 - for - 29 versus the Pelicans 8 - for - 11. The bench was huge for Chicago as well, as they outscored New Orleans bench 52 - 31. The Pelicans came into this game shorthanded in the second half of a back - to - back and fought hard in a tough loss. They played this game without Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday and that proved to be the difference, as they got very little bench production. Anthony Davis had a very good game though, as he tallied 22 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks in the loss. Tyreke Evans also continued his recent run of success, as he contributed 22 points and eight assists. The 6 - 17 record looks horrendous, but they are a much better team than that unsightly record would indicate. On deck for the Pelicans is the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. The Bulls got down by eight after the first quarter, but fought back hard to grab a win. They outscored New Orleans 34 - 24 in the final 12 minutes and made some clutch baskets late to close it out. The bench was the key tonight though, as they had four of the five bench players reach double - digits. The frontcourt was especially good, as Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah and Nikola Mirotic combined for 38 points and 30 rebounds in the win. This was a great team - win and it's a fantastic sign to see them win with players like Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler struggling so much. Chicago will be heavy favorites in their next game, when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.

The Milwaukee Bucks (36 - 36) held off the Indiana Pacers (31 - 41) ,111 - 107, on Thursday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The only NBA game Thursday turned out to be a good one as it came down to the final possession. The Bucks led by as many as 23 points early in the game as they finished the first quarter up 34 - 15. Indiana methodically got itself back into the game, cutting into the lead and getting stops. The Pacers were within three points with the ball in the final seconds, but George Hill could n't connect from three as the Bucks won their second straight close game. The Bucks and Pacers split the season series at two games apiece. Indiana snapped its losing skid on Wednesday against Washington, but could n't quite complete the comeback Thursday against Milwaukee. Luis Scola moved into the starting lineup at power forward for David West, who was a late scratch with an allergic reaction. Scola finished with 15 points and nine rebounds over 29 minutes. The Pacers were also without Rodney Stuckey for Thursday's tilt as the prolific bench scorer continues to heal from a calf injury. C.J Watson provided the scoring off the bench with 23 points, making 13 of his 15 free throw attempts. The Pacers will be off until Sunday when they host the Mavericks. Milwaukee was coming off a thrilling 89 - 88 win over Miami on Tuesday and Thursday's game went down to the wire once again.

The host Oklahoma City Thunder narrowly edged out the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, 105 - 99, at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Despite falling below his typical output in assists and rebounds, Westbrook led the team with a whopping 42 points. His eight assists also led the team. The Thunder hit only four three - pointers on the night, but made up for lackluster perimeter shooting with strong big man play. The Thunder held a 56 - 44 rebounding advantage that included at least 11 boards from three different players. Portland (22 - 30) made headlines for the wrong reasons on Friday after allowing a season - high to Mavericks rookie Yogi Ferrell.

After a horrendous game in Dallas, Damian Lillard scored a team - high 29, while pulling down seven rebounds. Portland saw a decent night from beyond the arc, knocking down 10 three - pointers as a team. However, Portland ultimately could not limit Oklahoma City's second chances on the boards.

After a slow start the surging Toronto Raptors took the lead with five minutes left in the second quarter and did not look back, outscoring the Pistons 84 - 65 in the final three quarters. A buzzer - beating, full - court heave by Andre Drummond brought the Pistons within five points heading into the fourth, but Toronto responded with a quick five points in the first minute of the final quarter, stretching the lead to 10 and deflating Detroit's momentum. The Raptors have now won 14 of their last 15 games and sit comfortably at second in the East. Meanwhile the Pistons have been slipping and do not have much room for error if they want to hang onto eighth in the East. Toronto now leads this season series 20. Kyle Lowry led the way for the Raptors, finishing with 25 points (9 - 14 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and two steals, in 38 minutes. Lowry's back - court partner and fellow all - star, DeMar DeRozan had a complete game with 17 points (5 - 14 FG, 7 - 8 FT), seven rebounds and six assists, in 33 minutes.

The Charlotte Hornets (22 - 23) defeated the Sacramento Kings (20 - 24) 129 - 128 in double overtime at Sleep Train Arena on Monday. A wild battle throughout all six periods of play resulted in four players fouling out and a NBA season - high 56 points being poured in from DeMarcus Cousins. The Hornets came out a winner in the neck - and - neck shootout and it was from an unlikely hero in Troy Daniels, who hit the game winning three - pointer with just under :10 remaining in the second overtime. Charlotte had two chances to win the game before the added time, as Kemba Walker missed a free throw with :1 left in the fourth quarter and got blocked by Willie Cauley-Stein at the end of the first overtime. Walker was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week after stepping up for multiple scoring outbursts while Nicolas Batum (toe), Jeremy Lamb (toe) and Cody Zeller (shoulder) were all sidelined with injuries, but struggled to find a rhythm. He finished with 24 points on 5 - of - 25 shooting in 45 minutes. Combine the injuries with the three players fouling out for Charlotte (Marvin Williams, Spencer Hawes and Tyler Hansbrough) and they were left with only Frank Kaminsky left to guard DeMarcus Cousins. Kaminsky drew a charging foul, which was Cousins’ sixth, which evened the playing field in terms of stretching the bench. Daniels, the aforementioned hero, finished with 28 points and seven rebounds on 10 - of - 15 shooting in 31 minutes, while Jeremy Lin scored 20 points, including some clutch buckets in the first overtime. The Hornets will visit the Utah Jazz (19 - 25) on Wednesday. DeMarcus Cousins continued his hot start to 2016 and proved why he was deserving of the Western Conference Player of the Week after scoring 56 points on 21 - of - 30 shooting in 45 minutes. Cousins added 12 rebounds, but his physical play drew a charging foul when the Kings needed him most, and had to leave the game with over 3:30 left in the second overtime. If not for Cousins fantastic performance, Sacramento would not have made it to the second overtime, as he went to the foul line and nailed two clutch free throws to go up one point towards the end of regulation. Rajon Rondo exploded for 20 assists, most of which to Cousins in the post, to go along with seven points and 10 rebounds. When Cousins was not scoring at a ridiculous rate, Gay pitched in from the wing and finished with 20 points in 40 minutes. The loss snaps the Kings five game winning streak. Sacramento plays the second game of a back - to - back at the Portland Trail Blazers (20 - 26) on Tuesday.

The visiting Detroit Pistons earned a somewhat miraculous win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, 102 - 101. Detroit (26 - 29) has shown signs of picking up, as the team is now 5 - 2 in its last seven games. The Pistons are sitting at eighth in the Eastern Conference and are hoping to earn another playoff berth after a first - round exit in 2016. On Sunday, the team saw stellar play from top to bottom, as the bench produced three double - digit scorers. One of those three players was Tobias Harris, who led the team with 24 points on impressive 9 - of - 13 shooting. Center Andre Drummond, meanwhile, attacked the glass effectively all night, pulling down a whopping 18 rebounds. Despite shooting just 42 percent, Detroit was able to earn the win thanks to second chances from a stellar 11 offensive rebounds. Toronto (32 - 23) has been ice cold of late. After comfortably holding the second seed in the East for the early part of the season, the Raptors are now only half of a game ahead of fifth place. The team is 4 - 7 in its last 11 games. For Toronto, Sunday's loss came in brutal fashion, as the first three quarters looked like a much - needed blowout. Toronto shot a stellar 50 percent from the field and from beyond the arc, but could not contain Andre Drummond and the Pistons on the offensive glass. All-Star starter DeMar DeRozan led the team with 26 points but failed to convert in crunch time, as he was unable to draw the foul he was looking for on the Raptors' final possession. The Pistons will visit Milwaukee on Tuesday, while the Raptors will see Chicago on Wednesday.

Young and full of potential, Minnesota is looking poised to bring home a second straight Rookie of the Year award thanks to first overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns.

Last year's first overall pick Andrew Wiggins also had a major scoring performance, contributing 26 points on 10 - for - 14 from the field. The entire team shined in terms of efficiency, hitting shots at a higher clip than any other game in the franchise's history. The Nets gave stars Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young a chance to rest on Saturday night, leading to absolute evisceration at the hands of Minnesota. Young players had the chance to shine, however, as forward Thomas Robinson notched a career - high 17 rebounds in the contest. Bench guard Markel Brown also played a big role, leading the team with 23 points. Defense simply did n't happen for the Nets, however, as Minnesota hit seemingly every shot it took. Brooklyn will visit Toronto on Tuesday. Minnesota, meanwhile, will visit Charlotte on Monday.

The Utah Jazz (3 - 2) defeated the Denver Nuggets (2 - 3) 96 - 84 after a strong fourth quarter on Thursday night. It was a one point game heading into the fourth where the Jazz outscored the Nuggets 31 - 20 to secure the win. The Jazz were led by Gordon Hayward who scored 20 points on 7 - 13 shooting, 2 - 5 from deep and added three assists and three rebounds. Hayward had lots of help as Utah put up 54 bench points. Alec Burks notched 12 points, eight assists and three rebounds, playing 31 minutes off the bench. Also from the bench Trevor Booker had a great 13 points on 6 - 9 shooting, with nine rebounds, three assists and a block in 28 minutes. Trey Burke shot a poor 4 - 12 but managed 12 points, 2 - 5 from deep in 19 minutes. Last but not least, young big man Rudy Gobert snagged 16 big rebounds and had three blocks as he made it difficult in the paint for the Nuggets all night. The Nuggets as a team shot 38 percent from the field and only recorded 16 assists. They played a 10 man rotation which yielded contributions from many players but ultimately lacked the fluidity needed to get consistent good looks. Gallinari has been their most consistent scorer so far and had 18 points and five rebounds, shooting 6 - 12 from the field in the loss. Kenneth Faried was active with 10 rebounds and nine points but could not come up with a big game to bring his team over the hump. Will Barton scored 12 points and grabbed four rebounds, while starting point guard and rookie Emmanuel Mudiay scored eight points along with three assists and seven rebounds. Next up for the Nuggets is a trip to Golden State for a game Friday night, where things could get ugly for them. Meanwhile the Jazz will be hosting Memphis on Saturday night, which should be a good gauge for their progress as a young up and coming team in the West.

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Phoenix Suns, 107 - 92, Thursday at Talking Stick Resort Arena. The Spurs (21 - 5) managed to extend their league - best record away from home this season to 14 - 1, but it did n't come easy, as they held just a three - point lead going into Thursday's final period.

For San Antonio, the game was won at the foul line, as the team hit 24 of their 26 attempts from the charity stripe (92 percent). For the Suns (8 - 18), their fight only lasted three quarters because they could n't get anything productive from their best offensive weapons. Eric Bledsoe, who had been averaging 31 points over his previous three games, shot just 5 - of - 14 from the field for 14 points in 30 minutes. His fellow starter in the backcourt Devin Booker did n't have a much better night, shooting 6 - of - 19 from the field en route to a team - high 17 points. As a team, the Suns shot a respectable 37 percent from behind the arc overall, but it was their shots inside the three - point line that doomed them, as they ended up shooting just 40 percent overall.

The Lakers continue to get some elite guard production off the bench, as Lou Williams and Jordan Clarkson combined for 44 points in this win. Amazingly, the four Pelicans starters aside from Anthony Davis combined for just 17 points, less then half of the total from the Clarkson-Williams combo.

Davis did have to leave briefly in the third quarter because of a back injury, but returned and finished the game with 34 points and eight rebounds.

New Orleans allowed 71 points in the second half, with the Lakers shooting over 60 percent.

The Portland Trail Blazers (16 - 4) defeated the New York Knicks (4 - 18) 103 - 99 on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York. Despite out - scoring the Blazers 24 - 20 in the fourth quarter and nearly making a late comeback, the Knicks came up just short and suffered a tough four - point loss. The Knicks shot 52 percent from the field compared to the Blazers who shot only 42 percent, but were unable to do the little things as they were both out - rebounded and forced into more turnovers than their opponent. This marks the fourth straight victory for the Blazers and eigth straight loss from the Knicks. The superstar duo of LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard was too much for the Knicks. Aldridge finished with 24 points (9 - 19 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 6 - 8 FT) and 11 rebounds, giving him his seventh double - double in the last eight games. He's now averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds on the season. Lillard on the other hand had 20 points (5 - 16 FG, 2 - 8 3Pt) of his own. He was able to get to the free throw line nine times and converted on eight of those attempts. He's combined for 43 points in the last two games, pushing his season averages to 20 points and 7 assists. Wes Matthews was also huge for the Blazers, as he went 5 - for - 11 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 18 points. After a tough shooting outing against the Pacers on Thursday, it was good to see him get back on track. Nicolas Batum chipped in 11 points and seven assists. Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 23 points (9 - 19 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT) and 10 rebounds. It was his first double - double of the season, and he's now combined for 55 points and 17 rebounds in his previous two games. The Knicks also received a huge contribution from J.R. Smith. He went 8 - for - 12 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 20 points off the bench. It was only the second time this season he's reached the 20 - point mark, so if he can continue to show some offensive consistency, it would go a long way in helping the Knicks improve. Amare Stoudemire got the start at center, and had a solid outing as he recorded 16 points (7 - 11 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and 10 rebounds. It was only his sixth start of the season, but he was able to turn it into his fourth double - double of the year.

Double figures was the theme in terms of scoring for both the Phoenix Suns and the Portland Trail Blazers in the emphatic overtime game that resulted in the Suns first win of the season. Six Trail Blazers finished in double figures, including starters Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum and Maurice Harkless, in addition to the three bench players: Meyers Leonard, Evan Turner and Allen Crabbe. The Suns were able to match those double figures performances that the Blazers put forth with five of their own: T.J. Warren, Eric Bledsoe, Devin Booker, Alex Len and Brandon Knight. The bench minutes from Brandon Knight, who saw 32 minutes of action in Wednesday’s win, has been a staple to the back court, and although the Suns record does not reflect the start they would like to have (1 - 4), the consistent action is a good sign going forward.

The Memphis Grizzlies (2 - 1) upheld homecourt advantage with a 99 - 89 win over the Golden State Warriors (1 - 2). The Warriors cut a 19 - point second half deficit to four in the final four minutes before running out of offense. It was just the second time all season and the second straight game the Warriors lost when holding an opponent under 100 points. Prior to the game, Mike Conley was fitted for a tighter mask and the Grizzlies responded by handing out souvenir masks to fans. While his stat line may indicate otherwise, Conley had a tremendous impact on the game, particularly on defensive end. He fought off cramps for the second straight game and chipped in a team - high five assists in 32 minutes. Marc Gasol recorded a double - double in the first half and finished with 21 points and 15 rebounds in 36 minutes before fouling out, earning five fouls in the fourth quarter. His backcourt mate, Zach Randolph, notched a team - high 22 points, earmarked by an array of low post moves and contested jumpers.

They converted 6 - of - 26 three - pointers, led by Stephen Curry’s 2 - of - 10 performance from downtown.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Toronto Raptors, 108 - 89, in Game 2 on Thursday at Quicken Loans Arena to take a 20 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. Much like in the opening game of the series, the Cavs took control after an early push from the Raptors, and subsequently cruised to victory.

No other starter manage double - digit points, and Bismack Biyombo was only able to provide three points, five rebounds and two blocks in Jonas Valanciunas' stead. The bench was more productive than the first unit overall, and was paced by three 11 - point outings from Corey Joseph, Terrence Ross, and James Johnson. Joseph added five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Ross also registered two rebounds, an assist, and two steals, while Johnson complemented his scoring with three rebounds and an assist.

Roy Hibbert played strong in the paint and contained his matchup with Brook Lopez to a tolerable amount of points. The Los Angeles center totaled 14 points on an efficient 7 - of - 9 shooting. Clarkson’s running layup with 1:28 left in the fourth quarter was all that was needed for the Lakers to close out the game after extending the lead to three points, as the rest of the team finished strong from the charity stripe, including Brandon Bass, who made two big defensive stop with under one minute remaining to hold off the Nets. Brooklyn was outplayed in the first half, and once Russell caught fire, they had no answer in stopping him.

Thaddeus Young totaled 19 points, 15 rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block, while Bojan Bogdanovich added 18 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

The Phoenix Suns (12 - 16) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (7 - 19) 104 - 88 on Friday in a game with very little energy. This was the case of two teams going through the motions and playing with very little energy. It's unclear if it was the team's lack of success or whether you could hear a pin drop in the stadium, but there was just no energy in the arena. The shooting really killed the Pelicans, as they went just 4 - for - 22 from three - point range. In what was anticipated to be a high - scoring game, the two teams really struggled on both ends. Phoenix took a 28 - 17 lead in the first quarter and it wasn’t really a game after that. The Pelicans are hard to watch right now. Their defense is one of the worst in the NBA and their offense had no rhythm tonight. They shot just 36 percent from the field and 18 percent from long distance. When the offense is playing like this with how bad their defense is, it's nearly impossible for the Pelicans to win. New Orleans' best player on the night was Anthony Davis, who collected 16 points and 12 rebounds. Eric Gordon shot the team out of the game, as he was just 2 - for - 11 from the field and 2 - for - 19 from three - point range in the loss. The bench is major strength for this team, but they accumulated just 36 points on the evening, which included some garbage time scoring. They'll look to bounce - back against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday in their next game. The Suns shot 52 percent in the game and took advantage of a bad defense. They continued to get in the paint all night and scored 52 points in the paint. Eric Bledsoe has another great game, as he tallied 29 points, nine assists, five rebounds and two steals in the win. Alex Len also played well off the bench, as he amassed 19 points and 13 rebounds en route to a double - double. What Phoenix will like most about this win is the defense, as they have been terrible defensively all season. The Suns will host the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday in their next matchup.

Carmelo Anthony posted a nice line of 20 points (7 - 10 FG, 4 - 5 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, and one steal, while turning the ball over only once. The superstar played only 27 minutes and watched the game from the bench in the fourth quarter. Minnesota will look to build off this win as they take on the defending champion San Antonio Spurs on Friday. The Knicks match up against the lowly Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, with hopes of turning their disappointing season around.

The Houston Rockets (11 - 12) defeated the Washington Wizards (9 - 11) 109 - 103 Wednesday at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. It was a matchup of two teams failing to live up to expectations, and both relied heavily on their star power to get through the matchup. After the Rockets jumped out to a 13 - point lead at the end of the first quarter, the Wizards bounced back with two impressive quarters of their own and entered the final period with a one - point edge. However, James Harden proved to be too much in the end for Washington. Harden finished with a game - high 42 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in 40 minutes, and absolutely took over in the fourth quarter. Houston’s other star, Dwight Howard, shot just 1 - of - 4 from the field and finished with four points, but was active on the glass, grabbing nine rebounds. Corey Brewer (15), Patrick Beverly (14) and Clint Cappella (10) round out the four Houston players who scored in double figures. For the Wizards, John Wall did all he could to keep his team in the game, but it ultimately was not enough. The point guard finished with 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds in 39 minutes, and while each of the other four starters scored in double figures, the team lacked production from their reserves. The four Washington players to come off the bench managed to score just 21 points. The team also did not do themselves any favors by recording 18 turnovers to just 20 assists. Up next, the Rockets will head home Saturday to take on the Lakers, while the Wizards will travel to New Orleans Friday to play the Pelicans.

The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Boston Celtics, 103 - 100, at TD Garden on Wednesday evening. The Bucks (39 - 36) checked into Wednesday's contest playing outstanding basketball, as they'd notched victories in 12 of their previous 15 games. Nevertheless, they faced a formidable challenge in the top - seeded Celtics (48 - 27), who'd lost only nine of 36 home contests. Milwaukee was able to prevail yet again in what was a see - saw battle, however, with a heavily contested Malcolm Brogdon 16 - foot jumper with three seconds left giving them some breathing room at 103 - 100. Marcus Smart then missed a last - gasp 24 - foot three - point attempt at the one - second mark that would have sent the game into the overtime. The Bucks considerably outperformed Boston shooting - wise, as they posted a 53 percent success rate from the field while limiting the Celtics to a 40 percent tally. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way for the visitors with 22 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks. Khris Middleton tallied 19 points, six boards, five assists, two steals and one block. Brogdon posted 16 points overall and added nine assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block. Greg Monroe led the bench with 16 points, eight rebounds, three assists and one steal. Isaiah Thomas paced the Celtics with 32 points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals.

The San Antonio Spurs (53 - 26) defeated the Houston Rockets (53 - 25) 110 - 98 on Wednesday in San Antonio. The Spurs are starting to look like the defending NBA champions, as they are now winners of nine straight games and 12 of their last 13. Tony Parker was questionable coming into the game with an Achilles injury, but the injury appeared to have no major effect on the point guard, as he finished with 27 points (13 - 18 FG) and four assists in just 26 minutes. Kawhi Leonard was not far behind, scoring 20 points (9 - 15 FG) and recording four steals in 35 minutes of play. Leonard has been a monster on defense as of late, logging 14 steals in his last three games. Off the bench, Manu Ginobili scored 13 points on 5 - of - 8 shooting, while Boris Diaw put up a solid line of 15 points (7 - 14 FG) and nine rebounds in 27 minutes. The victory brings the Spurs into a tie with the Clippers for fifth place in the Western Conference playoff race, although Los Angeles currently holds the tiebreaker over them with just three games left to play for each. MVP-candidate James Harden led the way for Houston, scoring 22 points (6 - 15 FG, 2 - 6 3Pt), to go along with four rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes. Coming off his 41 - point performance against Oklahoma City, it was a bit of a letdown game for Harden despite still reaching the 20 - point mark. Dwight Howard did not play a full load of minutes Wednesday, but still managed 16 points (7 - 10) and 11 rebounds in 22 minutes, as he continues to recover from a knee injury that kept him out for the majority of the season. Trevor Ariza was the only other Rockets' starter to score in double figures, finishing with 19 points on 7 - of - 12 shooting in 34 minutes. Off the bench, Josh Smith contributed 13 points (5 - 13 FG, 3 - 8 3Pt) and five assists in 27 minutes. With the loss and a Memphis win, Houston is now in third place in the West despite having the same record as Grizzlies, as the Rockets do not hold the tiebreaker over them. These teams will play each other once again on Saturday in Houston in another game with major playoff implications.

With Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor both sitting with knee injuries, the Sixers put in a valiant effort to defeat a Clipper team who just got back Blake Griffin. The assist - to - turnover ratio was the decisive statistic, with the Sixers recording 35 assists to five turnovers, while the Clippers matched their assists and turnovers at 17 a piece. Scoring in the paint was extremely lopsided as well, with Philadelphia winning that battle, 66 - 20. Griffin played well in his first game back, totaling 12 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Jamal Crawford led Los Angeles in scoring, dropping 27 points off the bench. DeAndre Jordan recorded a 10 - point, 20 - rebound double - double. Nerlens Noel had his best game of the season, accumulating 19 points, eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and three blocks.

The Houston Rockets defeated the visiting Chicago Bulls, 121 - 117, in overtime at Toyota Center on Friday evening. The Rockets were trailing by eight points with three minutes left in regulation but surged back to tie it up, thanks to a few major defensive stops, including a couple of steals by Trevor Ariza, and some clutch offense from the likes of James Harden, Eric Gordon and Ariza. The Rockets then owned the overtime period, where they outscored the Bulls 13 - 9. James Harden led the Rockets (37 - 17) with 42 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists, in his franchise - high 34th 40 - point game with the Rockets.

Meanwhile, the Bulls (25 - 26) fell apart late in the fourth, after they were leading by eight with five minutes to go. They gave up 17 turnovers in the contest, which came back to bite them, as a couple of those directly led to the Rockets' comeback. The Bulls were playing without Jimmy Butler who was a last minute scratch due to a heel injury. Michael Carter-Williams was the high - point man for Chicago, as he finished with 23 points, to go along with nine rebounds, six assists and one block, 35 minutes.

The Indiana Pacers (20 - 32) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (22 - 29) 103 - 102 on Sunday at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. With slightly over 14 seconds left in the game, Marvin Williams was able to hit a three - point shot to put the Hornets up 102 - 101, but with just under five seconds left, George Hill hit a baseline layup to give the Pacers the one - point lead. Brian Roberts got off a last second, three - point heave at the buzzer, but was n't able to convert, giving the Pacers their third straight victory in a row and a bunch of momentum moving forward. The Pacers were down 83 - 75 coming out of the third quarter, but went on a huge run in the fourth, out - scoring the Hornets 28 - 19 to finish off the game. The Pacers would never have been able to make their comeback if it was n't for the high production rate from their bench. C.J. Watson was huge in this win, going 7 - for - 11 from the field and 5 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 22 points in just 24 minutes. It was a new season - high in points for him, along with a huge confidence boost, as he went scoreless just a game ago against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Also off the bench, Luis Scola was a huge part of the Pacers' success. In 25 minutes, he posted 15 points (6 - 11 FG, 3 - 4 FT) and a team - high of 14 rebounds, marking his first double - double since the beginning of December. The Pacers did have some valuable contributions from of a few of their starters as well, with Rodney Stuckey and David West each reaching double figures. Stuckey had 15 points (6 - 12 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT) and two assists, while West had 15 points (5 - 13 FG, 5 - 6 FT), six rebounds and two steals. Despite suffering the tough loss, Al Jefferson continued to show himself as the Hornets' most effective player. He went 13 - for - 22 from the field and 4 - for - 5 from the free throw line to finish with 30 points, while also adding 13 rebounds even as he was being guarded by a defensive specialist in Roy Hibbert of the Pacers. He's been very effective over his last two games, combining for 48 points and 22 rebounds. Brian Roberts was back to being a solid scorer as the starting point guard, recording 19 points (8 - 14 FG, 3 - 5 3Pt) and five assists. He had a tough day shooting the ball against the 76ers on Saturday, so it was good to see his confidence did n't take a hit and he was able to get things pointed back in the right direction. Coming close to a triple - double, Gerald Henderson finished with 13 points (2 - 9 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 9 - 9 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists. He's had a strong stretch of four games where he's averaged 19 points, much higher than his season average of 11 points per game. Both Marvin Williams and Gary Neal reached double figures off the bench with 10 and 11 points respectively. The Hornets' next game will be at home against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday, while the Pacers will be at home against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.

The San Antonio Spurs (35 - 6) held on to win in a potential NBA Finals preview matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers (27 - 10) Thursday night at AT & T Center, 99 - 95. After a tight third quarter, Cleveland led 73 - 72, but the Spurs raced out to a 15 - 4 run to open the final period and took an 87 - 77 lead that would prove too much for the Cavaliers to overcome. The Spurs dominated inside, pulling down 11 offensive rebounds and shooting a sharp 50 percent on two - point shots. Tony Parker led all scorers with 24 points as he looks as fresh as he has all season. After scoring 31 in Wednesday's contest against Detroit, Parker now has two consecutive games of 20 points or more for the first time all season. Parker was supported by yet another sharp game from Kawhi Leonard, who recorded a double - double with 20 points and 10 rebounds and added five assists plus strong defense against Cavaliers star LeBron James. James topped the Cavaliers with 22 points and five assists, but it was n't enough overcome San Antonio's efficient attack. The Cavaliers got two double - doubles from their big men, Tristan Thompson (18 points and 14 rebounds) and Kevin Love (10 points and 12 rebounds), but Cleveland's bench added just 12 points, pale in comparison to the 35 San Antonio got from its reserves. Cleveland had an eight - game winning streak snap and continue their Texas road trip Friday in Houston. The Spurs will try to stay unbeaten at home Sunday against Dallas.

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 85 - 83 at Staples Center on Wednesday. Two undefeated records to open the season and only one was going to leave with that sterling mark still in tact. The Thunder (40) came away with an offensively sloppy, but defensively sound victory, save for Russell Westbrook, who continues to pack the box score with phenomenal numbers. DeAndre Jordan was able to put one shot back with :3 seconds left in regulation to cut the lead to two points, but even after Westbrook missed both free throws, the Clippers ran out of time before being able to get a shot off to tie or win the game. Both the Thunder and the Clippers (3 - 1) shot far below average from the field. Los Angeles completed just 39 percent of their field goals, while Oklahoma City just edged them out with a lowly 41 percent of their own. The Thunder were led by Westbrook, who put forth 35 points, six rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes. Nobody else on the team put up double figures, and Victor Oladipo still has not found a rhythm, as he finished with nine points on 3 - of - 11 shooting. Chris Paul rounded out the stat sheet with a near triple - double, totalling 15 points, nine assists and 11 rebounds, while Marreese Speights continues to add scoring depth off the bench, as the Warriors import added 14 points on 6 - of - 9 shooting in 16 minutes. Next up, the Thunder face a very difficult second game of a back - to - back in Golden State against the Warriors, while the Clippers have a day off before visiting the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets 113 - 106 Tuesday at Toyota Center. The Warriors (60 - 14) managed to get off to a hot start Tuesday, as they had already opened up a 17 - point lead by the time the first quarter was over. It was n't as easy for them the rest of the way, however, as the Rockets (51 - 23) came back strong over the next 12 minutes and managed to cut the lead to eight as the teams headed into the locker room. Unfortunately for Houston, they failed to get it much closer than that, as Golden State's starting backcourt of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson would n't let the Rockets fully back into the contest. Curry finished with a game - high 32 points in 33 minutes to go along with 10 rebounds and seven assists, while Thompson finished with 25 points in 37 minutes. Both shot an efficient 50 percent from the field, and that aligned with the team's overall performance, as the Warriors shot 51 percent from the field as a unit. As for the Rockets, they did not have the same success from the field, as the team shot just 39 percent overall and a very poor 16 percent from behind the arc. All-Star guard James Harden did, however, record his 20th triple - double of the season with a team - high 24 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds in 38 minutes, but he shot a poor 5 - of - 20 from the field and 1 - of - 9 from behind the arc. In all, six Houston players, including all six starters, managed to score in double figures, but the rate they were able to do so at was ultimately too inefficient to take down the league - best Warriors. Up next, the Warriors will look to extend their win streak to nine Wednesday in San Antonio, while the Rockets will travel to Portland on Thursday to take on the Trail Blazers.

For a big man, Blake Griffin's 4 assists per game is rather impressive, especially when you consider his point guard is one of the best passers to ever play in the NBA. But Griffin has consistently shown signs of having great court awareness with his assist numbers. That awareness was on full display Thursday night as Griffin posted a season - high 11 assists in the blowout victory, and there is a correlation between Griffin's high assists numbers and Los Angeles' success this season. In the 10 games where Griffin has posted at least five assists, the Clippers are 10 - 1, and he recorded under five assists in three of their four losses. It's clear that when Griffin is looking to move the ball, Los Angeles is finding success, and having capable distributors in both the frontcourt and backcourt will only help this Clippers squad continue to find success.

The New York Knicks (11 - 14) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (10 - 15) 112 - 110 on Saturday. Carmelo Anthony turned in an impressive performance, flashing his signature mid - range game that led all scorers with 37 points on 13 - of - 21 shooting, to go along with six rebounds and two assists. Knicks rookie, Kristaps Porzingis, struggled for a third consecutive game, and finished the night with zero points and three rebounds in 19 minutes. Outside of Porzingis’ poor night, New York shot efficiently as a unit, completing 52 percent on field goals and 43 percent from the 3 - point line. Derrick Williams, Kyle O’Quinn and Lance Thomas added double figures off the bench, which has been a consistent theme in the Knicks wins this year. Arron Afflalo added 15 points in the winning effort and shot 5 - of - 11 from deep. The bounce back win snapped a four game losing streak for New York and they will look to continue to battle in the Eastern Conference when they return home on Wednesday. Damian Lillard continues to prove his elite guard status in the NBA, as the Trail Blazers star scored 29 points with eight rebounds and four assists on 11 - of - 28 shooting. His backcourt counterpart, C.J. McCollum, is beginning to receive most improved player nods from the broadcasts teams, as the Lehigh product finished the night with 22 points, three rebounds and one assist. The heavy 3 - point shooting Blazers struggled to find a rhythm from deep in the losing effort and only completed 29 percent of their long range game. The Knicks host the Minnesota Timberwolves (9 - 13) on Wednesday, while the Trail Blazers will stay home against the New Orleans Pelicans (6 - 17) on Monday.

In a battle of the NBA's two best teams, the Atlanta Hawks (42 - 9) beat the Golden State Warriors (39 - 9) 124 - 116 on Friday. Paul Milsap and Jeff Teague were a deadly combo for the Hawks. They combined for 44 points, including going 20 - 23 from the charity stripe. All five Atlanta starters scored in double figures, as did Mike Scott and former - Warrior Kent Bazemore off the bench. With the game tied at 83 in the third quarter, Scott hit back - to - back three - pointers and Atlanta would not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. The Hawks were outrebounded 51 - 38 but still managed to hold on for the win. Draymond Green had 12 points, six assists, and 20 rebounds for Golden State, 10 of which were on the offensive glass. No other player on either team had more than three offensive rebounds. Stephen Curry followed up his 51 - point performance on Wednesday with 26 points and nine assists. He's averaging 31 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals over his past five games. The Warriors are 3 - 3 over their last six, their worst stretch of the season. These teams will meet up again on Mar. 18 at Oracle Arena in Oakland. Up next, the Hawks will take on the Grizzlies on Sunday, and the Warriors will play the Knicks on Saturday.

The Miami Heat (20 - 13) stifled the Washington Wizards (15 - 17) en route to a 97 - 75 win on Sunday night. The key to Miami's success this season has been their defense and it was dominant on Sunday. They held Washington to just 34 percent shooting from the field and 14 percent from long distance. The difference in the game was the second quarter, in which Miami scored 25 points while holding Washington to just seven points. The Heat also dominated the rebounding, as they won that battle 54 - 45. These teams are going in opposite directions right now and this result is indicative of the two teams recent play. Miami has the second - best defense in the NBA and they did a heck of a job today if slowing down a potent Wizards attack. Hassan Whiteside was a beast once again down low, as he added to his league - leading block total with another six swats in this game. Chris Bosh was the star of the game though, as he scored 23 points and snatched down seven rebounds. Most people wondered how a veteran team like this would perform this season, but they are simply slowing games down and winning with stingy defense. That's a recipe for a deep playoff run and the Heat have the players with the experience to guide them there. It's good the veteran starters got to rest late in this game, as they play the second half of a back - to - back on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. This was a disappointing result for a team who has been a disappointment all season. After breaking out last year, they appear to be regressing in a much deeper Eastern Conference. Blowout losses like this at home are a bad sign for future endeavors and one has to wonder if their rub last year was a fluke. They have now lost three of their last four games with the offense really struggling. No player scored more than 14 points and the only notable line was a double - double from Marcin Gortat. It doesn’t get much easier for Washington, as they have to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday in their next scheduled game.

The Portland Trail Blazers (35 - 17) defeated the Houston Rockets (35 - 16) 109 - 98 on Sunday. After voicing his displeasure regarding being looked over for an All-Star spot, Damian Lillard was the beneficiary of the Clippers' Blake Griffin having to undergo surgery for a staph infection, and Lillard will now be headed to the All-Star Game in Griffin's stead. Lillard celebrated with an efficient 23 points on 6 - of - 10 shooting from the field and 10 - of - 11 from the line. He struggled with his shot over the last couple weeks, so it's possible the announcement that he'll be an All-Star could have relaxed Lillard. Meyers Leonard put up a nice game off the bench, scoring 12 points and pulling down six rebounds in just 15 minutes, while showing off his range on 2 - of - 4 three - point attempts. The win helped the Trail Blazers secure a third victory in their last four games, with their lone loss coming to the Mavericks on Saturday. Portland lost five of their final six games at the end of January, but their recent play has assuaged most concerns about that rough stretch. James Harden is like the Katniss Everdeen of the NBA; he's on fire. On Sunday, he scored a game - high 45 points for his fifth 40 - point game of the season. He got some help from Josh Smith, with Smith hitting a career - high four three - pointers for the third time in the last six games, showing off what may be an improved jumper thanks to the Rockets' coaching. Donatas Motiejunas was the only other Rockets player to finish with double - digit points as the team shot a poor 38 percent from the field and 68 percent from the free - throw line. Despite the loss, the Rockets have won six of the eight games they've played since Dwight Howard went down with his most recent knee injury, proving that they can continue to win even without Howard. They'll play the Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday. The Trail Blazers will return home to host the Lakers on Wednesday.

The Denver Nuggets defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 106 - 98, at Wells Fargo Center on Monday. The Nuggets (8 - 13) checked in to Monday's contest having recorded four of their seven victories on the road, and they found a way to continue their success away from home against a Sixers (4 - 17) squad missing starting small forward Robert Covington (knee/illness). Danilo Gallinari led the way with 24 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block. He got to the foul line a game - high 12 times, converting 11 of those opportunities into points. His effort keyed a 46 percent effort from the field overall from the Nuggets, who snapped a three - game losing streak. Barton checked in right behind Gallinari with a full stat line of 22 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks. Jusuf Nurkic was only able to provide a modest eight points but did haul in 10 rebounds. Emmanuel Mudiay and Kenneth Faried combined for just six points, but Jamal Murray led the bench with a 22 - point effort that also included three rebounds and two assists and helped make up for the scoring void overall. Wilson Chandler was also productive in a reserve role, tallying 10 points. The Sixers were led by a pair of 17 - point efforts from Ersan Ilyasova and Sergio Rodriguez, with the former adding eight rebounds, two assists and two steals and the latter supplying seven assists, four rebounds and three steals. Joel Embiid posted 16 points, four boards and an assist, while Gerald Henderson poured in 14 points and added five rebounds, three steals and an assist. Dario Saric paced the second unit with 17 points, eight rebounds and a steal, and Richaun Holmes registered 11 points, eight rebounds, an assist and two blocks. The Nuggets will continue on their Northeast trek and visit the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, while the Sixers hit the road on Tuesday to take on the Grizzlies.

The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 104 - 85 Monday at Spectrum Center. The Hornets (10 - 7) have now won two games in a row after dropping four straight, as they jumped out to 17 - point lead at halftime and never let up. They were able to do so thanks in large part to yet another strong performance from Jeremy Lamb, who looks to be fully healthy. In just 23 minutes off the bench, Lamb scored 21 points on 7 - of - 11 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds. In his two games since returning from injury, Lamb has posted a total of 39 points and 26 rebounds, which has helped provide a spark for what was a sliding Hornets team. Kemba Walker added 21 points of his own, as the two guards led the way for a Charlotte team that struggled to get help from anyone else. The Grizzlies (11 - 7), struggled to get help from anyone at all, as their 85 total points was their third - lowest total in a loss this season. Marc Gasol and Mike Conley were the only starters to reach double figures on a banged up Memphis team, scoring 19 and 14 points respectively. Off the bench, the highlight for the Grizzlies was the solid play of reserve power forward Jarell Martin, who, with Zach Randolph (personal) out, saw 20 minutes off the bench and posted a double - double of 11 points and 12 rebounds in that time. As a team, however, it was a night to forget for Memphis, as they shot just over 40 percent from the field and a poor 7 - of - 29 (24 percent) from behind the arc. Up next, the Hornets will head home Tuesday to take on the Pistons, while the Grizzlies will travel to Toronto on Wednesday to play the Raptors.

Rookie Marquese Chriss had one of the best performances of his young career, scoring 18 and recording six rebounds and two steals.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the visiting Portland Trail Blazers, 125 - 121, in Game 5 Wednesday at Oracle Arena to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The Warriors backcourt was nearly unstoppable on both ends of the floor, as they riddled the Blazers duo of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum down the stretch to close out the series at home. With a healthy Stephen Curry back on the court, the Warriors retained their favoritism to win the NBA Finals, and they looked their regular season form. Although the Blazers took a lead into halftime for the fourth consecutive game of the series, it was not long before Golden State ripped off a 13 - 3 run in the third quarter to retake the lead. The last period of play was back and forth, up and down, high paced playoffs basketball action that saw its fair share of three - pointers and swift passing down low for the Warriors. In the end, the Blazers and head coach Terry Stotts put up a competitive fight through five games, as they overachieved greatly considering their pre - season expectations. Damian Lillard, who normally is lights out in the fourth quarter, struggled to finish at the rim late in the game, but was still perfect from the free throw line. Lillard finished with 28 points, seven rebounds and seven assists on 7 - of - 24 shooting, while C.J. McCollum added 27 points, eight rebounds and five assists on 11 - of - 23 shooting. Al-Farouq Aminu and Maurice Harkless combined for 29 points and were effective on the wings, where they finished 6 - of - 11 from behind the arc. Klay Thompson totalled his fourth 30 - plus point game of the playoffs after finishing with 33 points, two rebounds and one assist on 13 - of - 17 shooting. The reigning, and now back - to - back MVP, Curry, received his trophy before the game, and did not lose a step after stuffing the stat sheet with 29 points, five rebounds and 11 assists on 50 percent shooting. The Splash Brother were tremendous on the defensive end of the floor as well, as both players locked down the Blazers backcourt in the fourth quarter. The Warriors will await the winner of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. San Antonio Spurs (3 - 2 in favor of the Thunder) series.

DeMarcus Cousins came up with a monster 42 - point, 14 - rebound performance, but somehow it was not enough to get his team the win, as no other player scored in double digits for the Kings. The next highest scorer for Sacramento was Arron Afflalo, who finished with nine points on 3 - of - 9 shooting. Darren Collison, Garrett Temple and Ty Lawson all added eight points each, but it was much too little to help their team pull off a win. Meanwhile, Dwyane Wade exploded for stunning late - game performance for the Bulls, sealing the deal with a couple clutch plays in the final minute. Wade finished with a team - high 30 points, to go along with six rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals, in 35 minutes. Jimmy Butler added 23 points, seven assists and five rebounds, in 39 minutes.

The Charlotte Hornets evened their Eastern Conference first - round series against the Miami Heat with an 89 - 85 win Monday night in Game 4 at Time Warner Cable Arena. With Nicolas Batum out again, both Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin had to be prepared for another dose of increased offensive responsibility. Just as in Game 3, they were more than up for the task, scoring 55 of the Hornets' 89 points. However, it was starting two - guard Courtney Lee who came up with two of the biggest non - scoring plays of the night, hauling in two key offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter that helped extend possessions when Miami was threatening. The second of those boards came with four seconds left and also drew a key loose ball foul from Luol Deng, giving Lee the opportunity to drain two pivotal free throws that helped seal the victory. The Hornets played suffocating defense as well over all four quarters, elicting 17 turnovers from the Heat and holding them under 40 percent from both the field and three - point range. Miami was led by Joe Johnson, who managed 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists and a block. Luol Deng was next with 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists. Goran Dragic and Dwyane Wade turned in a pair of 12 point - efforts, with the former also supplying three rebounds, three assists and a steal, and the latter dishing out 10 assists, hauling in seven boards and recording two blocks. Hassan Whiteside notably only contributed eight points, seven rebounds and three blocks over 25 minutes. Walker's 34 - point total led all scorers, and he supplemented it with four rebounds, an assist, three steals and a pair of blocks. Lee was the only other member of the starting five to hit double - digit scoring, totaling 11 points, four rebounds, a steal and a block. Lin paced the reserves with 21 points, three assists and two steals. Among the starting five, Marvin Williams went scoreless over 37 minutes but brought down seven rebounds, handed out two assists and recorded a steal and a block. The series now shifts back to South Florida, where Game 5 will unfold on Wednesday night at American Airlines Arena.

The Milwaukee Bucks continued to be one of the NBA's hottest teams with a win on Tuesday. Star wings Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton were at the helm of the offense during the team's narrow win. "The Greek Freak," Antetokounmpo, scored 22 points to go along with a very impressive stat line of eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal. Middleton, meanwhile, shot 11 - of - 22 from the field for a team - high 26 points. As a team, it was not a great offensive night for the Bucks. Milwaukee shot just 42 percent from the field and reached the line only 12 times. Portland, meanwhile, saw a major night from star point guard Damian Lillard. Lillard shot 13 - of - 25 from the field en route to 31 points alongside seven assists and four steals. However, the Blazers shot only 42 percent from the field and made just four three - pointers.

The Chicago Bulls (39 - 23) overcame a 10 - point fourth quarter deficit to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder (34 - 28) 108 - 105 on Thursday at the United Center. This game attained instant - classic status with some late game heroics from unlikely characters. While Russell Westbrook continued his dominance with 43 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists, it was Chicago's E'Twaun Moore and Nikola Mirotic who stole the show late. Mirotic had 26 points and eight boards in 34 minutes off the bench. Moore went 9 - for - 10 in the game and put up 13 points in the fourth quarter. With time winding down, Pau Gasol kicked it out to Moore, who canned the go - ahead three pointer. Oklahoma City could n't close out Chicago as it allowed a sizeable fourth - quarter lead slip away. Russell Westbrook's triple - double streak ended at four games, and it was fitting that it came to an end in Chicago, where Michael Jordan strung together seven consecutive triple - doubles back in 1989. Still, Westbrook kept his streak of 40 - point games alive with his third straight 40 - point outing. The Thunder will return to action Sunday when they host the Raptors. Chicago has been devastated by injuries lately, but it pulled together a complete effort to score a huge win in front of the home crowd. In addition to Mirotic and Moore's strong outings, Pau Gasol notched another double - double with 21 points and 12 rebounds. The Bulls have a quick turnaround as they will travel to Indiana on Friday to face the Pacers.

The Atlanta Hawks (17 - 12) defeated the Orlando Magic (15 - 12) 103 - 100 on Sunday. The Magic had a couple shots to tie the game late, but had some poor execution. In fact, they didn’t even get the last shot off before the buzzer due to some good Hawks defense and a poor play call. Orlando came into this game as the superior rebounding team, but Atlanta outrebounded them 41 - 35 despite ranking 28th in the league in boards per game with Rolando ranking sixth. Atlanta's shooting really boosted them to a win, as they shot 50 percent from the field and from three - point range. Atlanta has now won three - straight games and playing some of their best basketball of the season. This was one of their best team efforts of the season, as six different players scored between 13 and 19 points. Paul Millsap was the team's best player though, as he tallied 13 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks to once again stuff the stat sheet. Al Horford also had a nice all - around game, as he accumulated 14 points, six rebounds and five assists. The Hawks will look to keep their streak going against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. This loss snapped a three - game winning streak for the Magic, but what really killed them was a 13 - point second quarter. One bright spot in the loss were the 16 steals that the Magic drew, which are a season - high. Nikola Vucevic was Orlando's best player on Sunday, as he recorded a 20 point - 11 rebound double - double. Evan Fournier tallied 17 points, three rebounds and four assists as well, which is a promising sign with his recent struggles. Orlando will look to start a new streak against the New York Knicks on Monday in their next scheduled game.

The San Antonio Spurs (40 - 39) defeated the Toronto Raptors (38 - 26) 117 - 107 on Tuesday at the AT & T Center in San Antonio. The Spurs got out to a quick start in this one, out - scoring the Raptors 28 - 17 in the first quarter, while gathering a 61 - 41 lead by half. The Raptors tried to make a run in the second half, but the Spurs built up a big enough lead early, that the Raptors were n't able to overcome it. The Spurs finished at 48 percent from the field and a ridiculous 61 percent from the three - point line, while the Raptors went 44 percent from the floor and just 31 percent from deep. The Spurs also converted on 24 - of - 30 attempts from the free throw line, while the Raptors made just 13 - of - 18, which also made a huge difference in the win. The Spurs were led by Kawhi Leonard, who posted 24 points (10 - 19 FG, 4 - 4 FT), 11 rebounds and five steals. He's been on fire of late, averaging 22 points, 8 rebounds and three steals over his last five games. It's no coincidence the Spurs winning streak, that has now extended to six games, has coincided with the strong play from Leonard. He did see some help though, as Tony Parker went off for 23 points (9 - 20 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT) and nine assists in 36 minutes. After struggling through the month of February, Parker is clearly back on the right track, as he's averaging 25 points and 5 assists in four games since the start of March. Danny Green's shot was dialed in as well Wednesday. He went 5 - for - 6 from beyond the arc and 4 - for - 5 from the free throw line to score 19 points, while also adding six rebounds. He has been fantastic from the three - point line lately, shooting 50 percent or higher in five of his last six games. Marco Belinelli got hot off the bench and did n't miss a shot to score 10 points (4 - 4 FG, 2 - 2 3Pt) in just 21 minutes. The Raptors received the bulk of their production from their backcourt duo of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry. Lowry went 10 - for - 19 from the field and 5 - for - 9 from the three - point line to score 32 points, to go along with five assists and two steals. In three games since returning from injury, Lowry has looked rejuvenated and is averaging 24 points and five assists over that stretch. DeRozan, on the other hand, scored 21 points (8 - 18 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT) of his own, while adding four assists in 39 minutes. Like Lowry, he's played extremely well of late, and is averaging 27 points and 4 assists over the first five games of March. While most of the focus was on those two, Amir Johnson quitely posted a double - double, finishing with 16 points (8 - 14 FG, 0 - 2 FT) and 14 rebounds. It was his first time reaching double - digit points in his last nine games, while the double - double was his first since the middle of January, so it was good to see the added production from the forward. Coming off the bench, Louis Williams chipped in with 11 points (5 - 10 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt) as well. The Spurs' next game will be at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, while the Raptors will be at home against the Miami Heat on Friday.

After a grueling back - and - forth battle, the visitng Miami Heat (25 - 21) came away with a 102 - 98 win over the Brooklyn Nets (12 - 34) on Tuesday. It was a veteran effort that put Miami over the edge, with All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh leading the Heat with 27 points apiece. The 34 - year - old Wade was named a starter for the Eastern Conference in the All-Star Game last week; it will be the star's 12th All-Star appearance. Wade played like a star on Tuesday, tacking on eight assists and three steals to his impressive scoring total. Rookie Justise Winslow, meanwhile, came off the bench to offer a season - high 13 points in Brooklyn. Winslow has garnered attention for his impressive perimeter defense this season, and on Tuesday he added a stellar scoring touch to his repertoire. Perhaps Miami's biggest advantage came in the lane, as the Heat edged out their opponents 37 - 32 on the glass and held a 50 - 28 advantage in terms of points in the paint. Many of Brooklyn's big - man minutes were filled by jump - shooter Andrea Bargnani, a factor that may have contributed to Miami's dominance of the low post. For Brooklyn, meanwhile, the narrow loss comes riding on the tails of a shocking upset of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The home win on Sunday helped Brooklyn snap a six - game losing streak. Unfortunately for the Nets, they were unable to continue the winning against Miami, as they allowed their opponents to convert on 54 percent of shot attempts. Despite the loss, Brooklyn saw a double - double from star center Brook Lopez and a 15 - point, eight - assist outing from veteran Joe Johnson. Brooklyn will next take the court on Friday in Dallas. The Heat will also have two days of rest before taking to the road against Milwaukee on Friday.

The Phoenix Suns (28 - 20) beat the Chicago Bulls (30 - 19) 99 - 93 on Friday. Phoenix was led by their starting backcourt of Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic. They combined for 44 points, six rebounds, 10 assists, four steals and two blocks. The Suns are 10 - 4 in January, having put together two separate four - game win streaks this month. Phoenix owns the eighth best record in the Western Conference. They're currently 3 games ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans, and would face the Golden State Warriors if the playoffs started today. The Bulls were coming off two straight overtime games on their West Coast road trip, and may have just ran out of gas. They kept themselves in it late, but Eric Bledsoe's layup with 10 seconds remaining put it in the bag for the Suns. Pau Gasol had a stellar January, averaging 20 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. He finished the month with another nice performance of 10 points and 19 rebounds. Gasol recorded nine straight double - doubles to end the month. The Suns have won two straight and will take on the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.

The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 110 - 108 Monday at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Monday's game came with no shortage of drama, as after plenty of back and forth in the final period, Paul Millsap sit a short jumper that put the Hawks (14 - 14) up by two with just 12 seconds remaining. The Thunder (16 - 12), with one last opportunity remaining went to their star guard Russell Westbrook, who missed a jumper, got the rebound and got his shot blocked before Oklahoma City was able to call one last timeout. The Thunder inbounded it to Westbrook again, who missed a potential game - winning 3 - pointer, and while Steven Adams was able to get the rebound for Oklahoma City, his dunk at buzzer was ruled no good. In the end, it was a battle between the team's two starting point guards, with Dennis Schroder and Westbrook putting together two of their very best performances of the season. Schroder scored 31 points on 10 - of - 16 shooting from the field - - his second 30 - point game of the season - - on top of eight assists and five rebounds. Meanwhile, Westbrook posted 46 points - - his second highest total this season - - seven assists and 11 rebounds in 35 minutes. Ultimately, the deciding factor Monday was that Schroder got help from his teammates, while the rest of the Thunder players struggled.

The Dallas Mavericks (11 - 8) beat the Portland Trail Blazers (7 - 12) 115 - 112 in an overtime thriller on Tuesday. This was a game of runs, as Dallas made the final one to close things out. The Mavericks actually came out and grabbed a 20 - 5 lead, but were then trailing at the half. Dallas ended up trailing for the majority of the second half, until ending the game on a 70 run to send it to overtime. All the statistics were very similar and this was as much of a nip - and - tuck game as you'll see in the NBA. Dallas has been playing some great basketball this season and that continued of Tuesday. While they only got 16 points off the bench, they got some great performances from their veterans. Deron Williams was the star of the show, as he tallied 30 points, eight assists and six rebounds in the win. Dirk Nowitzki also played very well, as he totaled 28 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Zaza Pachulia is the undervalued stud on this team, as he recorded 14 points and 21 rebound en route to yet another double - double. These veterans have made an impressive core and they'll be even scarier when Chandler Parsons and Wesley Matthews get back to 100% health. The Mavericks will host the struggling Houston Rockets in their next game on Friday. The Blazers were unsure if Damian Lillard would play in this game after an ab issue on Monday, but he played and nearly carried Portland to a win. Lillard flirted with a triple - double, as he tallied 25 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in the defeat. The rest of the starters killed Portland though, as the other four combined for just 14 points with C.J. McCollum providing 11 of those. The bench was spectacular though, as Ed Davis recorded a double - double and Allen Crabbe, Gerald Henderson and Meyers Leonard all scored 18 or more points. The bench production is a rarity for this team and they'll need more of that going forward. The Trail Blazers will look to rebound in their next game against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday.
