In one of the most exciting games of the first week of the NBA season, the Thunder (20) were able to overcome an 18 - point deficit heading into the fourth quarter before eventually dispatching the Orlando Magic (0 - 2) in double overtime Friday by a score of 139 - 136. In an offense - laden affair, the Magic stormed to an early lead by shooting over 50 percent from the field through the first three quarters, but they faded late in the contest while the Thunder gained steam. Four players finished with 20 - plus points for the Magic, with Victor Oladipo’s triple double (21 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists in 51 minutes) representing the most well - rounded stat line of the quartet. Oladipo also kept the Magic alive when all hope seemed lost, nailing a game - tying three - pointer as the first overtime period expired. Along with Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic, Tobias Harris, and Evan Fournier were the others who surpassed 20 points. Vucevic keyed the Magic’s early success, nailing his first nine shots before finishing the night with 26 points on a 10 - for - 14 mark from the field, while Harris accumulated 30 points and nine rebounds. Fournier finished with 22 points on 8 - for - 21 shooting. As per usual, the Thunder’s two stars, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, were the driving forces behind the team’s comeback win, as the duo combined for 91 of the team’s 139 points. It marked the first time since March 2012 that both players tallied more than 40 points in the same game. Durant was the steadier of the two from the field for much of the contest and churned out 43 points and 12 boards, but seemed to lose steam offensively down the stretch while playing a game - high 54 minutes. However, he found enough within himself to hold off a last - ditch effort by the Magic in double overtime, blocking two shots in the final three seconds. Westbrook, meanwhile, shook off some early shooting woes to lead all scorers with 48 points to go along with 11 rebounds and eight assists. Westbrook caught fire in the fourth quarter and the two overtime periods, most notably banking in a three - pointer in the waning seconds that sent the contest to the extra period. Oklahoma City will likely skip practice Saturday and return home for its next game Sunday against the Denver Nuggets, while the Magic will look to notch their first win Sunday in Chicago versus the Bulls.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Sacramento Kings, 117 - 106, at Golden 1 Center on Sunday. DeMarcus Cousins had the Kings (15 - 22) up 10 points with just about three minutes remaining in the second quarter before his frustrations got the better of him, leading to a technical foul and an outburst directed at the chair he was sitting on. Cousins did not see further penalty from the refs, but the Warriors (32 - 6) were able to rally behind their starters and retake the lead midway through the third quarter after Stephen Curry drained a 25 - foot three pointer. The Golden State bench was otherwise absent from the contest given the 22 total points contributed from the likes of David West and Andre Iguodala, but the scoring output was not in peril given the 30 and 28 points that Curry and Kevin Durant dropped, respectively. Draymond Green rounded out the box score again and finished with nine points, seven rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks on 4 - of - 9 shooting, while Klay Thompson added 18 points and six rebounds on 8 - of - 19 shooting. The Kings got most of their offensive production from their starters as well, led by Rudy Gay's 23 points and Cousins' 17 points and 10 boards. Ty Lawson contributed 15 points across 22 minutes off the bench on 4 - of - 8 shooting, while doing most of his damage from the free throw line, where he finished 7 - of - 8 in the contest. Both teams play their next game on Tuesday, as the Warriors host the Miami Heat, while the Kings host the Detroit Pistons.

DeMar DeRozan followed up with 23 points, although struggled shooting, going 8 - of - 26 from the field. DeRozan added seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block, in 37 minutes. Jonas Valanciunas came up big with 18 points on 7 - of - 11 shooting, and 13 rebounds, in 31 minutes. The Raptors shot only 39 percent from the field but made up for it in the hustle categories to come up with the win. Meanwhile, only three players scored in double figures for the Jazz. Shelvin Mack was the high - point man with 17, while Gordon Hayward added 16 points. Rudy Gobert was solid in the middle, with 15 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks.

The host Indiana Pacers took down the 76ers on Sunday on the backs of strong defensive play. Center Myles Turner had one of his best performances of his sophomore season, shooting 7 - of - 9 for 17 points to go along with 16 rebounds. Turner also played stellar defense, coming away with two blocks and a steal. As a team, the Pacers shot just 41 percent from the field but held Philly to just 39 percent and forced 14 turnovers on the night. Star forward Paul George led the team with 21 points, despite shooting just 7 - of - 17. The Sixers had an off night on the offensive end despite better play of late. It was a particularly bad night for Rookie of the Year front - runner Dario Saric, who shot just 3 - of - 15 from the field en route to nine points. The team also shot just 71 percent at the free - throw line.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets, 104 - 78, in Game 1 of the Western Conference first - round playoffs Saturday at Oracle Arena. It was a fair and foul game for reigning MVP Steph Curry. Though the superstar scored 24 points and nailed five three - pointers, he did so in just 20 minutes due to an early exit with an ankle injury. Curry also got into an early scuffle with opposing point guard Patrick Beverley, resulting in a double technical. This only seemed to fuel the noise in Oracle Arena, however, as the Warriors with and without Curry were able to breeze by the 8 - seeded Rockets. Forward Draymond Green was dominant on the boards and on defense, notching 10 rebounds and four blocks. After earning their history 73rd win on Wednesday, many questioned whether the grueling regular season would impact the Warriors in the playoffs. In Game 1, the team looked as fresh as ever, burying 10 three - pointers, pulling down 53 rebounds, and playing stingy defense. The Rockets, meanwhile, struggled mightily in the first contest of the series. The team coughed up 24 turnovers and commited 28 personal foulds, showing signs of sloppy play throughout the night. In particular, stars James Harden and Dwight Howard appeared weak, combining for 11 turnovers and 10 personal fouls. Saturday's contest also marked the first time in 148 games that Harden failed to reach the free - throw line. Forward Corey Brewer, meanwhile, also recorded an unfortunate statistic, having now gone 0 - for - 20 from three - point range in his last 10 outings. Game 2 will be held at Oracle Arena and will take place on Monday at 7:30 EST.

After being left off yet another All-Star roster, Damian Lillard came through with a characteristically strong performance in response to the snub. Lillard dropped a game - high 33 points, including five three - pointers and 10 - of - 11 from the free - throw line. The point guard added five rebounds and six assists. Shooting guard C.J. McCollum, meanwhile, scored 18 points on 7 - of - 11 shooting to go with four rebounds. Off the bench, wing Allen Crabbe contributed 23 points on 8 - of - 12 shooting from the field. The team finished with 16 made three - pointers on the night. For Memphis, recently named All-Star Marc Gasol followed up a career - high 42 against Toronto with another 32 against Portland. Gasol stuffed the stat sheet, adding eight rebounds, five assists, and four blocks. Point guard Mike Conley, meanwhile, added 17 points and 10 assists. Off the bench, veteran Zach Randolph scored 17 points to go with 13 rebounds.

The host Golden State Warriors squeaked by the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, 106 - 104. The win gave Golden State (53 - 14) control of the first seed in the West once again after a four - game losing streak caused the Warriors to fall behind San Antonio in the standings. While the Dubs looked destined to fall in a fifth straight contest on Tuesday, the team managed to come back from down by 16 in the third quarter to earn a narrow win. Much of Golden State's success was due to strong play from Draymond Green, who barely missed a five by five. Green led the team with eight assists, seven rebounds, six blocks, and four steals while scoring an impressive 20 points including several clutch free - throws in the fourth quarter. Green's performance helped to make up for some of reigning MVP Steph Curry's slumping. Curry, who celebrated his 29th birthday on Tuesday, led the team with 29 points but shot just 8 - of - 23 along with five turnovers. Philadelphia (24 - 43) nearly pulled off the stunning win but slowed down at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The team still had plenty of positive takeaways from the win, however. Rookie phenom Dario Saric scored in double digits for the 17th straight game, leading the team with 24 points. His output almost matched Green's, as he dished out six assists, had seen rebounds, blocked two shots, and came away with three steals. Sophomore center Jahlil Okafor was another bright spot for Philly. Okafor scored 22 points in just 23 minutes of play while shooting 8 - of - 15 from the field and 6 - of - 7 from the free - throw line. On Thursday, Golden State will host the Orlando Magic, while the 76ers will host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday in Nerlens Noel's return to Philadelphia.

The Memphis Grizzlies (3 - 2) defeated the Sacramento Kings (1 - 3) 103 - 89 on Tuesday. The Grizzlies bounced back nicely after a 50 - point loss Monday by handling the Kings rather easily. What really changed the game was the defense for Memphis in the second quarter, as they allowed just 11 points and scored 26 points of their own. The loss of big man DeMarcus Cousins clearly hampered the Kings down low, as they were outrebounded 50 - 35 while recording just one block. Grizzlies center Marc Gasol did n't return after halftime due to neck spasms, and his status is uncertain for the Grizzlies' next game on Thursday against Portland. Memphis showed Tuesday what makes them one of the top teams in the Western Conference, by rebounding from the blowout loss to the Warriors and responding with a resounding victory of their own on the road. Power forward Zach Randolph had his best game of the young season, as he tallied 20 points and 11 rebounds in the absence of Gasol. The Grizzlies also got a nice performance from JaMychal Green off the bench, as he recorded 12 points and 12 boards in the victory. The Kings really shot themselves in the foot in this matchup by shooting under 40 percent from the field and missing an unforgivable 15 free throws. The team was led by Rudy Gay, who accumulated 19 points, five rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes. Second-year player Ben McLemore continues to struggle for the Kings, as his two - point outing here brought his season averages to 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assists in nearly 19 minutes per game. Those are dreadful numbers, and if he continues to play like this, coach George Karl may opt to go to a two - point guard lineup that would see Darren Collison inserted into the starting five. The Kings will be without Cousins yet again on Wednesday when they take on the Phoenix Suns on the road.

The Dallas Mavericks (28 - 13) beat the Denver Nuggets (18 - 21) 97 - 89 on Friday. Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks in scoring with 25 points to go along with nine rebounds and one steal. The Mavericks lost to the Nuggets on Wednesday, but Nowitzki did n't play, getting rest alongside Tyson Chandler. Rajon Rondo also sat out Wednesday's game, resting an Achilles injury. He was back on Friday as well, finishing with two points, nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal. Chandler made his presence known, recording 11 points, 16 rebounds and one block in 34 minutes. The Nuggets enjoyed a nice performance from newly - acquired point guard Jameer Nelson. He put up 14 points, four rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes. Nelson began the season with the Mavericks until being traded to the Boston Celtics in mid - December in the Rondo deal. Ty Lawson had 11 points on 3 - of - 13 shooting from the field and also pitched in six rebounds, 12 assists and one steal. Jusuf Nurkic's seven - game streak of at least two blocks or more came to hault, as he failed to record any blocks on Friday. He averaged 3 blocks per game in that span. The Nuggets will face the Timberwolves on Saturday, and the Mavericks will take on the Grizzlies in Memphis on Monday.

The Sacramento Kings (26 - 45) defeated the Phoenix Suns (38 - 34) 108 - 99 on Wednesday at the US Airways Center in Phoenix. After the Oklahoma City Thunder got destroyed by the San Antonio Spurs earlier Wednesday, this was a huge opportunity for the Suns to pick up a game on the Thunder, who remain three games ahead of them for the eighth and final projected playoff spot in the Western Conference standings. Instead, the Kings were the ones who came out with some fire and picked up their fourth straight win, despite having already been eliminated from the playoffs. The Kings were the superior shooters in this game, going 49 percent from the field and 38 percent from the three - point line, while the Suns finished at 44 percent from the floor and just 24 percent from deep. It was a team - effort win for the Kings, who had seven players reach double figures in points. DeMarcus Cousins led the way, going 11 - for - 19 from the field to score 24 points, while also adding 11 rebounds and a blocked shot. It was his third double - double over his last four games, a stretch where he's averaging 24 points and 12 rebounds. Rudy Gay struggled with his shot, but still added 14 points (3 - 7 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 8 - 9 FT) and five assists. He had scored over 20 points in nine straight games coming into Wednesday, so it was somewhat of a disappointing performance for Gay, but with so many players getting in the action offensively for the Grizzlies, they were still able to finish off with a win. Starting at point guard, Ray McCallum added 14 points (6 - 11 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and five assists. Despite averaging just 7 points per game on the year, this marked his third straight game in double figures. Coming off the bench, Nik Stauskas chipped in with an efficient 13 points (5 - 7 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 1 - 1 FT) and four rebounds in 18 minutes. Markieff Morris had the most production for the Suns, finishing with a team - high of 24 points (9 - 16 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT), to go along with seven rebounds and two steals. He's continued to stay very consistent for the Suns, averaging 20 points and 7 rebounds over his last seven games. The other Morris brother, Marcus, had a big game as well. He went 7 - for - 11 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 19 points in 26 minutes. He's shot over 50 percent from the field in two of his last three games, as he's dialed in and gaining some momentum. Eric Bledsoe added 19 points (7 - 15 FG, 2 - 6 3Pt, 3 - 5 FT) of his own, while also pulling down five rebounds. He's riding a nice three - game stretch, where he's averaging 24 points and 5 assists. Archie Goodwin had a strong showing off the bench as well, scoring 15 points (6 - 12 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) in 26 minutes. The Kings' next game will be on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, while the Suns will be at home against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

The Toronto Raptors defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, 118 - 109, at Air Canada Centre on Monday night. The Raptors (32 - 21) had been mostly floundering in the absence of DeMar DeRozan, who'd missed six of the previous seven games heading into Monday's contest with an ankle injury. The Clippers (31 - 20) certainly could relate, as they continue to be without star point guard and defensive wizard Chris Paul, who remains sidelined following thumb surgery. Toronto had the good fortune of getting their star back for Monday's marquee battle and it made all the difference, as DeRozan got right back into the swing of things with a game - high 31 points that he supplemented with five rebounds, two assists and one steal. He was an impressive 11 - for - 22 from the floor and even drained two of three tries from beyond the arc, a rarity for a player who primarily specializes in mid - range jumpers. Toronto shot a solid 49 percent from the floor overall, and 42 percent from three - point range. The Clippers were led once again by Blake Griffin, who produced a 26 - point, 11 - rebound, 11 - assist triple - double that also included one steal. The star forward was effective from all over the court, shooting 11 - for - 19 from the floor and 2 - for - 3 from long distance. Austin Rivers followed with 22 points, two rebounds and one block. Marreese Speights led the bench with 15 points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals. Jamal Crawford supplied 14 points, three assists, one rebound, two steals and two blocks. J.J. Redick pitched in with 12 points, four boards, an assist and a steal. Kyle Lowry played a complementary role with DeRozan back in action, registering 24 points, eight assists and four rebounds. Jonas Valanciunas rounded out a productive night for Toronto's Big Three with a 21 - point, 12 - rebound double - double that also included two dimes and a block. DeMarre Carroll filled out the stat sheet with nine points, five rebounds and a pair of assists. Cory Joseph led the second unit with 12 points, four rebounds and two assists. The Clippers remain on their East Coast swing with a trip to the Big Apple to tangle with the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, while the Raptors hit the road as well to do battle with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday evening.

The Houston Rockets (21 - 7) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (21 - 8) 117 - 111 on Friday at Fed Ex Forum Arena in Memphis. In a meeting of Southwest Division foes, the Rockets were able to push past the Grizzlies in a tough overtime victory and move to the top of their division standings. Despite turning the ball over 14 times, the Rockets used a 54 - 44 rebounding advantage to secure the victory on the road. They also shot well from the floor, going 45 percent from the field and 41 percent from the three - point line. Continuing to build on a potential MVP season, James Harden again looked the part Friday. He went 10 - for - 17 from the field and 2 - for - 4 from the three - point line to score 32 points, while also nearing a triple - double with eight rebounds and 10 assists as well. Without anyone who could stop him, Harden was able to get to the free throw line over and over again, finishing the game 10 - for - 11 from the line. Harden has gone on a tear the last two games, combining for 76 points, 11 rebounds and 17 assists over that span. In his first game with the Rockets after signing only a day before, Josh Smith had a very successful debut, scoring 21 points (9 - 21 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT) and grabbing eight rebounds. Although joining a crowded frontcourt, he still got off plenty of shots. Trevor Ariza also played well and recorded his second double - double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Despite the loss, Marc Gasol continued to have a fantastic season. He was able to shoot over 50 percent, going 12 - for - 21 from the floor and 1 - for - 1 from beyond the arc to score 29 points, while also grabbing eight rebounds. He's now recorded at least 23 points in five of his last six games, as he's one of the hottest centers offensively in the league at this moment. Coming off the bench, Beno Udrih also did everything he could to keep the Grizzlies in the game. In only 20 minutes he went 7 - for - 12 from the field to score 17 points. The 17 points were a season - high for him, as he's only averaged 7 points per game up until this point. Also coming off the bench were Quincy Pondexter and Vince Carter who scored 14 and 10 points respectively. The Rockets' next game will be on the road against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, while the Grizzlies will travel to Miami to play the Heat on Saturday.

This scoreline is unfair to Phoenix, as they played much better than a 17 - point defeat would indicate. In fact, they led by 12 points early in the third quarter, before Detroit responded with a 35 - 12 run to eventually pull away. The Suns really struggled shooting, as they hit just 35 percent from the field, 27 percent from three - point range and 63 percent from the free - throw line. Detroit also dominated the rebounding, winning that battle, 63 - 47. Tyler Ulis led the way for Phoenix, as he collected 17 points, 11 assists and three steals. Alan Williams recorded another double - double off the bench, totaling 11 points and 12 rebounds. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was the Pistons best player, as he accumulated 23 points and eight assists. Andre Drummond finished with 18 points and 18 rebounds. Aron Baynes was huge off the bench, as he provided 13 points and 17 rebounds in just 17 minutes.

Houston, which led by nine entering the fourth quarter, allowed Dallas to creep back into the game but was able to close it out in the final minute. Down two with just over 30 seconds to play, James Harden made a jumper, plus the foul, to put the Rockets up 93 - 92. Monta Ellis turned it over on the other end, and Trevor Ariza was subsequently fouled, converting both free throws to give Houston a three - point advantage.

Patrick Beverley added 20 points, while Donatas Motiejunas had a 14 - point, 12 - rebound double - double. The Rockets were without Dwight Howard for the second straight game as he continues to nurse a strained right knee. In his absence, Houston was out - rebounded 50 - 4.

Smith (11) round out the Cavaliers starters who scored in double figures, while Matthew Dellavedova recorded 11 points and five assists in 17 minutes off the bench. The win puts Cleveland comfortably in second place in the Eastern Conference playoff race, as they hold a 3 - game lead over the Raptors, but they are still 10 games behind Atlanta for first place. The Pacers were lead by George Hill, who scored a team - high 24 points on 9 - of - 15 shooting in 33 minutes. Roy Hibbert was not too far behind, scoring 20 points on 8 - of - 13 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds in 35 minutes.

David West (illness) left Friday's game after playing just 12 minutes and did not return to action. The loss is Indiana's fourth in a row and they currently are on the outside of the playoff race in the East looking in, as they stand a half game behind the Boston Celtics for the final spot.

The Mavericks went full - Spurs and did n't play a single player over 29 minutes in the blowout win.

James Harden, already renowned for prolific stat lines at shooting guard, has taken matters to another level while manning the point. His 30 - point, 15 - assist double - double Wednesday was his second straight and third overall this season. Offseason acquisition Eric Gordon has proven to be the ideal complement, supplying a 21 - point effort of his own. Montrezl Harrell's 17 - point, 10 - rebound double - double off the bench also helped the Rockets to a sizable 54 - 34 rebounding edge overall. While the Knicks received a typically solid 21 - point outing from Carmelo Anthony, as well as matching 16 - point outings from the backcourt combo of Derrick Rose and Courtney Lee, they were clearly hurt by the lack of contributions from their frontcourt. Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah combined for just three points (all from the former) on 0 - of - 6 shooting and a modest 10 rebounds.

The Orlando Magic (12 - 9) bounced back from having their five - game win streak snapped by the Clippers, defeating the struggling Denver Nuggets (8 - 14) by a score of 85 - 74. The Magic were able to withstand disappointing performances from starters Evan Fournier, who was held scoreless until he hit a single three - pointer late in the fourth quarter, and Channing Frye, who failed to score a point. With Fournier having an off - night, newly - implemented sixth man Victor Oladipo shouldered much of the load at shooting guard, playing 33 minutes and recording 11 points, three rebounds, three assists, and a mightily impressive four blocks. Orlando's defense was the true story of the night, as they held Denver to just 34 percent from the field. The stingy Magic defense also forced 17 turnovers. Their domincance on the defensive end made up for a rather lackluster offensive night, as the team shot only 43 percent and hit just one three - pointer. Denver's night was marked by the total inability to score the ball, particularly in the second half, where the Nuggets scored just 27 points over two quarters. There seemed to be a lid on the basket for Denver, as only three players cracked double - digits for scoring, and rising sixth man Will Barton (23 points, four rebounds, four steals) was the only player who scored over 13. While Barton provided a bright spot in a game - high 38 minutes off the bench, it seemed Denver could not manage to develop an offensive rhythm. Rookie Emmanuel Mudiay also continued to struggle, turning the ball over five times in just 22 minutes while scoring only six points and recording just four assists.

The visiting Chicago Bulls demolished the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, 113 - 88. It was a rebounding extravaganza for Chicago (7 - 4), as the team pulled down a ridiculous 67 boards in the easy win. 19 offensive rebounds helped the team earn second - chance points left and right, and contributed to the Bulls jumping out to the early 35 - 14 lead. All-Star Jimmy Butler, fresh off a 37 - point outing against the Wizards, led the team in both points and rebounds, with 27 and 12 respectively. Forward Taj Gibson and center Robin Lopez also posted double - doubles, recording 11 rebounds each. Starting point guard Rajon Rondo was sidelined with an ankle sprain, but backup Jerian Grant was able to fill the starting role nicely, scoring 18 points and coming away with five steals. For Portland (7 - 5), it was an uncharacteristically cold shooting night. The league's second - leading scorer heading into the night, Damian Lillard, scored only 19 points on just 7 - of - 22 shooting. The stagnant offense went beyond Lillard, however, as the team shot just 35 percent from the floor and 26 percent from three - point range. Struggles extended to the free - throw line, where the team hit just 11 - of - 18 shots from the stripe. Despite an inability to get things going offensively, Portland was able to post a low total of just 11 turnovers in the fast - paced game.

They carried a 15 - point lead into halftime and never led by fewer than 10 points in the second half. The Celtics were led by their starting back court, as Isaiah Thomas dropped 22 points (7 - 16 FG, 3 - 7 3PT) and 12 assists and Avery Bradley added 20 points on 8 - 15 shooting (3 - 8 3PT).

The Denver Nuggets (17 - 27) defeated the Detroit Pistons (23 - 21) 104 - 101 on Saturday night. This game was full of big swings, but the Nuggets were able to make the final push to pull out a win. What really guided Denver to a win was a 39 - 20 third quarter, in which they were trailing by double - digits prior to that. This was a mental win for Denver, as they dominated the turnover margin and the free - throw shooting. In fact, Denver shot 83 percent on their free - throws to the Pistons 53 percent and committed half as many turnovers as Detroit in the victory. The Pistons actually dominated the rebounding, as they snatched down 51 boards to the Nuggets 32. Detroit came into this game as a small favorite, but couldn’t muster up enough late to pull out the road win. The bench was the only reason they played so well, as they scored 41 bench points to go along with an impressive 27 rebounds. Andre Drummond had his worst game of the season, as he tallied just four points and eight rebounds in just 18 minutes of play. Drummond got in foul trouble early and Aron Baynes got the late minutes because he simply outplayed him. Baynes actually finished with a double - double in the loss. Marcus Morris led the team with 20 points and there were stretches when he was asked to ISO the offense and essentially carry the offense. When Reggie Jackson and Drummond struggle like this, they almost never win. The Pistons will stay in altitude, as they have to play the Jazz in Utah on Tuesday in their next game. Denver is now 4 - 3 in their current eight - game homestand, with all of the games coming down to the wire. The starters were all exceptional tonight for the Nuggets tonight, as they all played at least 32 minutes and combined for 82 points and 15 steals. Danilo Gallinari scored a game - high 30 points and is one of the top - five scorers in the NBA since the beginning of January. The rookies were fantastic for Denver as well, as Nikola Jokic and Emmanuel Mudiay combined for 35 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals and four blocks in the win. The Nuggets will cap off their homestand on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks in what should be another close matchup.

The Miami Heat (9 - 7) defeated the New York Knicks (4 - 14) 86 - 79 on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Heat were able to give themselves the advantage, as they came out and had a strong first half defensively, while also out - scoring the Knicks 42 - 34. The Heat shot 42 percent from the field and 30 percent from beyond the arc compared to the Knicks, who only shot 35 percent from the field and 13 percent from behind the three - point line. After sitting out the last seven games with a hamstring injury, Dwyane Wade was finally back with the team and was given a full games worth of work. In 32 minutes, he was able to shoot 11 - for - 18 from the floor and 5 - for - 9 from the free throw line to score 27 points. He also was able to record five rebounds and five assists. The points were a season - high for Wade, so it looks as if the injury is n't still affecting him. Chris Bosh was the other big contributor for the Heat. He finished with 20 points (7 - 18 FG, 2 - 6 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT) and nine rebounds, coming one rebound shy of a double - double. He's been heavily relied upon for scoring with Wade sitting out, so it's good to see his scoring continue even with Wade back. The only other player to reach double - digit points was Luol Deng. He contributed 10 points and 10 rebounds. Like Wade, Carmelo Anthony came into this matchup after sitting out two games with a back injury. The injury did n't seem to hurt Anthony either, as he played 41 minutes and finished with 31 points (11 - 26 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt, 8 - 10 FT), eight rebounds and two assists. It was only the second time Anthony has ecipsed the 30 - point mark this season. Amare Stoudemire was the only other Knick to reach double figures in points. He scored 19 of the 28 points contributed from the bench, wile also grabbing 12 rebounds. It was his third double - double on the year. The Knicks starters, minus Anthony, really struggled to get in a rhythm during this game, as they only finished with a combined 20 points. They needed more than that to give them a shot in this one. The Heat's next game will be on the road against the Washington Wizards on Monday, while the Knicks will be at home against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

The Phoenix Suns defeated the New York Knicks, 107 - 105, at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. Although both teams entered the game with losing records, they engaged in an exciting and tightly - contested offensive affair through three quarters. Both defenses clamped down in the final 12 minutes, however, and the Knicks (19 - 26) held a tenuous 105 - 102 edge with 1:32 remaining. That's when the Suns' Devin Booker went to work, draining two free throws to bring Phoenix within one, and then vaulting them back into the lead with a 24 - foot three - point jumper with 31 seconds left. Carmelo Anthony subsequently failed to pull the win out of the Knicks at the buzzer when his 25 - foot three - point attempt failed to find the net.

The visiting Toronto Raptors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, 123 - 114. Toronto (23 - 10) needed the win after having dropped two straight games earlier in the week. The team was treated to a close game by the struggling Lakers, but pulled away in the fourth quarter due in large part to the play of All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry. Lowry scored 18 points in the fourth quarter and 41 overall to go with nine rebounds and seven assists. He shot 12 - of - 16, playing a big part in Toronto's 56 percent shooting on the night.

Overall, the team shot impeccably, hitting 10 three - pointers and over 90 percent of its free - throws en route to the win. Los Angeles (12 - 25), meanwhile, has struggled mightily since starting the season at 8 - 8.

The Indiana Pacers (34 - 43) defeated the Miami Heat (34 - 43) 112 - 89 on Sunday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. With both teams just barely on the outside looking in for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race and less than 10 games left in the regular season, this marked another extremely important outing. The Pacers were able to come out victorious though, pulling even with the Heat in the standings and pushing themselves within striking distance at just one game back from the Boston Celtics for the eighth and final projected playoff seed. In order to seal the win, the Pacers used a superior rebounding performance, out - rebounding the Heat 55 - 37. After missing eight months with a broken leg, Paul George made his highly anticipated return to the court Sunday, playing in a limited 15 minutes of action. He was still quite productive despite the minutes restriction, going 5 - for - 12 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 13 points. With the playoffs potentially in the future, it was a good sign for the Pacers, as they will need the former all - star's playmaing abilities during this final stretch of the season. Along with George, Luis Scola also put in a strong performance off the bench. In just 18 minutes, he was able to finish with a double - double, recording a team - high of 23 points (10 - 15 FG, 3 - 3 FT), to go along with 12 rebounds. After shooting less than 30 percent from the floor in each of his last two games, he was able to get dialed back in Sunday and help the Pacers come out on top. Solomon Hill led the starters offensively, posting 19 points (6 - 10 FG, 3 - 5 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and six rebounds. C.J. Miles chipped in with 17 points (6 - 13 FG, 5 - 10 3Pt) and two assists as well. While the Heat struggled to keep up with the Pacers in this one, Dwyane Wade still played well and continued his stellar season, recording a game - high of 27 points (11 - 21 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT), while also adding three assists. He's combined to shoot 22 - of - 39 from the field over his last two games while scoring 61 points, as his shot looks to be locked in. On the season, he's pushed his averages to 22 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Goran Dragic also had some success against this Pacer's team during the loss. He went 6 - for - 10 from the field and 1 - for - 2 from beyond the arc to score 15 points, to go along with five assists. The Heat's backcourt is going to be heavily relied upon to help get this team into the playoffs, so both Wade and Dragic will need to step their game up even further in the near future. Coming off the bench, James Ennis added 17 points (6 - 11 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and five rebounds in 28 minutes. The Pacers' next game will be on the road against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, while the Heat will be at home against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.

The Denver Nuggets (21 - 31) defeated the New York Knicks (23 - 31) 101 - 96 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Carmelo Anthony (knee) returned to the starting lineup after missing Friday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies with knee soreness, but it was not enough to give the Knicks a needed spark, as they now own a five game losing streak. Anthony finished with 21 points, six rebounds and seven assists on 7 - of - 19 shooting in just under 35 minutes, but it was not the scoring output they needed to break New York out of a slump. Kristaps Porzingis struggled early, only completing two of his first nine attempts from the floor, and was a major part of Denver storming out to an eleven point lead at the end of the first quarter. Porzingis did finish strong on the shooting end to salvage what was close to his worst shooting performance of the season, as the lanky rookie scored 21 points on 10 - of - 23 shooting, to go along with 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks. Langston Galloway went back to his bench role as Derek Fisher did not go with a three guard lineup with Anthony returning to the small forward slot, but Galloway still saw 20 minutes of game time and finished with six points, as both buckets came from behind the arc. The Knicks will look to end their skid when they host the Washington Wizards (22 - 27) on Tuesday. The Nuggets did not have a player score more than 20 points in the game, but their unselfish style of play lent way to an early first half lead and strong fourth quarter finish. Denver’s only bad quarter came in the third quarter, where some tough shots just did not fall. Danilo Gallinari and Will Barton led the Nuggets with 19 points each, but rookie point guard Emmanuel Mudiay has been playing very well since returning from injury and it is beginning to have a great impact on the team. Mudiay is coming off a 22 point performance against the Bulls on Friday, and added 19 points on Friday, to go along with four rebounds and nine assists.

The host Dallas Mavericks won their first game of the season on Sunday, beating the Milwaukee Bucks 86 - 75 in overtime. It was a low - scoring affair for both sides, due in large part to cold perimeter shooting from both teams. For Dallas (1 - 5), the vast majority of the team's scoring came from guard J.J. Barea and forward Harrison Barnes, who scored a combined 55 points on the night. While Barnes hit half his shot attempts and Barea shot a respectable 8 - of - 18 from the floor with a pair of three - pointers, the Mavericks hit just 38 percent of their attempts from the floor. Shooting guard Wesley Matthews was particularly shaky from the field, hitting just 3 - of - 17 from the field on the night. The lead flipped back and forth throughout, with stagnant offense making it difficult for either team to establish a significant lead. Dallas finally appeared to get things going in overtime, however, as they were able to outscore Milwaukee 12 - 1 in the extra period. For Milwaukee (4 - 3), shooting was an equally significant struggle, as the team hit just 37 percent of its shots from the floor with only six three - pointers made. Point-forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had his quietest night of the season going just 4 - of - 12 from the field for only 11 points. It was a promising night for third - year forward Jabari Parker, however. The former second overall pick had 16 points and seven rebounds while hitting half his shot attempts. The Mavericks will visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, while Milwaukee will have a long break before facing the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday.

John Wall and Otto Porter, Jr. posted matching 25 - point efforts to spearhead the Wizards' 18th home victory. Washington also held Memphis to sub - 40 percent shooting from the field and three - point range. Markieff Morris contributed a 17 - point, 12 - rebound double - double. Bradley Beal registered just 12 points over 37 minutes, going 4 - of - 14 from the field and 1 - of - 7 from three - point range. However, his two clutch free throws with 14 seconds remaining gave the Wizards a key cushion in their lead. Marcin Gortat mustered a modest seven points but hauled in 11 rebounds. Marc Gasol's 28 points paced Memphis. Mike Conley tallied 20 points but turned the ball over a game - high five times. JaMychal Green managed a 15 - point, 13 - rebound double - double, and Vince Carter supplied a bench - leading 12 points. Tony Allen and Chandler Parsons only mustered matching six - point efforts.

The Los Angeles Lakers (14 - 51) defeated the Orlando Magic (27 - 36) 107 - 98 at Staples Center on Tuesday. The Lakers earned back - to - back home wins for the first time all season, as the starting trio of Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell all eclipsed the 20 - plus point mark. With Kobe Bryant (shoulder) sidelined, the focus was once again on the rookies and sophomores to lead Los Angeles, and as the season has progressed, the young talent is showing signs of development. Save for the first quarter, where the Magic quickly got out to 90 run, the Lakers assisted and rebounded in stronger fashion, and dominated the third quarter, where they were able to put the game away after posting 39 points. Julius Randle finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds, which completed his 28th double - double of the season, and shot 9 - of - 16 from the field in 30 minutes. Jordan Clarkson flexed some range in the second half on his way 24 points on 9 - of - 17 shooting, including five treys, to go along with five boards and three dimes. D’Angelo Russell led all scorers with 27 points on 11 - of - 19 shooting to continue his hot run of form. The Magic showcased the talent they possess as well, it just was not enough to keep pace with the Lakers game plan. Aaron Gordon may have only finished with five points in the contest, but two of those points came on a dunk of the year candidate, as Gordon channeled his inner Dominique Wilkins for a windmill jam. In terms of the box score, Victor Oladipo led his team, which is beginning to become a theme for the Magic in close games, as he finished with 26 points, four rebounds and two assists on 10 - of - 17 shooting in 35 minutes. Evan Fournier turned in an impressive shooting performance and scored 23 points on 11 shots in just under 40 minutes. The Orlando bench was uneventful, save for C.J. Watson’s 10 points in 25 minutes, as Scott Skiles put the minutes burden on the starters. The Lakers will welcome LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers (44 - 18) on Thursday, while the Magic head north to face the Sacramento Kings (25 - 37) on Friday.

The Brooklyn Nets (30 - 40) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (30 - 40) 91 - 88 on Wednesday at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. With the win, the Nets pulled their season record even with the Hornets, but both still sit on the outside looking in for the Eastern Conference playoff race. They're not far out though, as both are just a game behind the Boston Celtics for the eighth and final projected playoff seed, as well as two games back from the Miami Heat for seventh. With 12 games left in their schedules, each should have the opportunity to make a run during the last few weeks of the regular season to make thier case for a playoff bid. The Nets can credit this win to Brook Lopez, who posted a game - high of 34 points (16 - 26 FG, 2 - 2 FT), while also adding 10 rebounds and three blocked shots. He's been on an absolute tear of late, scoring 30 points or more in three of his last four games, while averaging 25 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks during that stretch. Lopez got some help from Deron Williams as well, who recorded a double - double of his own with 10 points (2 - 9 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT), seven rebounds and 14 assists. He's struggled with his shot recently, combining to go just 4 - for - 15 from the field and 1 - for - 4 from the three - point line over his last two games, but he continues to find his teammates at a high rate with 24 assists over those last two as well. Alan Anderson chipped in with a solid contribution off the bench, recording 13 points (6 - 10 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes. Al Jefferson and Gerald Henderson were the two reasons why the Hornets were even in this game to begin with. Jefferson finished with 23 points (11 - 19 FG, 1 - 2 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocked shots, while Henderson recorded 23 points (10 - 19 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) of his own, to go along with two steals. Jefferson struggled to just three points and five rebounds in Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls, so it was good to see him come out with a nice bounce - back performance Wednesday. He's now averaging 17 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists on the season. The only other Hornet in double figures was Kemba Walker, who posted 11 points (4 - 13 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 3 - 5 FT) and six assists over 32 minutes. Coming off the bench, Mo Williams had an awful showing, going 2 - for - 10 from the field and just 1 - for - 6 from the three - point line, but still added nine points in 30 minutes. The Nets' next game will be at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, while the Hornets will travel to Washington to play the Wizards on Friday.

The Charlotte Hornets (3 - 3) hit a buzzer - beating three pointer to knock off the Atlanta Hawks (1 - 3) 122 - 119 in double overtime on Friday night. It took two full overtimes before we had a winner, but the Hornets walked away with another home win, their third of the 2014 season. If not for a deep three - pointer at the buzzer from offseason acquisition, Lance Stephenson, these two would have played a third overtime. The Hornets got big games from a few key players, including big man Al Jefferson, who had 34 points (15 - 24 FG, 4 - 8 FT) with nine rebounds and three assists. Kemba Walker fell just short of a triple - double with 15 points (6 - 16 FG, 0 - 4 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT), with 10 assists and nine rebounds. The Hornets had four other players score in double figures, including Gary Neal, who scored 23 points (6 - 11 FG, 3 - 5 3Pt, 8 - 9 FT) off of the bench. The Hawks had to feel drained after losing this game, as they had the ball with just over two seconds left in the second overtime, but a moving screen was called on Kyle Korver. Atlanta got double digits from each of their starters, including double - double's from Jeff Teague with 22 points (9 - 23 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) and 15 assists, and Al Horford with 24 points (11 - 16 FG, 2 - 3 FT) and 10 rebounds. The Hawks take on the New York Knicks at home on Saturday night.

The New York Knicks (21 - 22) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (5 - 38) 119 - 113 in double overtime on Monday afternoon. Prior to the game, the Knicks received the good news that Carmelo Anthony, who missed the previous two contests with an ankle sprain, would be able to take the court. To say that his return was a mixed bag would likely be an understatement. The All-Star forward endured an extremely difficult afternoon from the field, draining only seven of his 28 attempts over six periods. One of those baskets was admittedly crucial, a 26 - foot three - point jumper with three seconds remaining that sent the game into overtime knotted at 96. Despite the heroics in regulation however, Anthony subsequently missed all four of his attempts in the first overtime, including an 11 - foot jumper with two seconds remaining that would have sent the Knicks home winners. He did tally two points in the second and final extra period, when New York was finally able to put away a game Sixers squad that has shown significant improvement in certain recent outings. Although he did n't lead Philadelphia in scoring, Ish Smith turned in a remarkable double - double performance with 16 points, 16 assists, seven rebounds and a pair of steals over a whopping 44 minutes. He scored half of his points over the two overtime periods, making good use of the extra opportunity. Jahlil Okafor topped the Sixers in points, tallying 20 and adding seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks. Nerlens Noel had an outstanding battle down low with rookie sensation Kristaps Porzingis, collecting 18 points, 13 rebounds, an assist, two steals and three blocks. Robert Covington put up a modest 11 points, but three of those came on a 25 - foot shot with three seconds left in the first overtime period to knot the game up at 107 and send it into the sixth quarter. Isaiah Canaan did n't draw a second consecutive start despite a solid performance in his first crack at replacing the injured Nik Stauskas, but still paced the Philadelphia bench with 16 points, five rebounds and an assist. The Sixers fell to 5 - 38 despite the valiant effort, and remain in last place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They continue their road trip in Orlando on Wednesday. Arron Afflalo led the home team's charge with 25 points, seven rebounds and a steal. Anthony managed 19 points despite his abysmal accuracy, and added seven rebounds, seven assists and a steal. Porzingis nearly matched Noel stat - for - stat with his own remarkable double - double, tallying 16 points, 12 boards, four assists, a steal and three blocks. The impressive stat line was generated over 34 minutes, as the rookie was forced to exit the contest with 2:40 remaining in the fourth quarter due to a sore right foot. Robin Lopez joined him in posting double - digit points and rebounds, amassing 16 points and 10 boards of his own. Lance Thomas led the Knicks' reserves with 12 points, four rebounds, two assists and a block. The Knicks improved to 21 - 22 and remain in third place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They'll be at home again on Wednesday for a date with the Utah Jazz.

Steph Curry's shooting performance in Monday's blowout loss to the Nuggets was an uncharacteristic a performance you'll see in the NBA. Curry shot just 4 - of - 18 (22 percent) from the field en route to scoring just 11 points in 27 minutes. It's the first time in nine games where the point guard shot under 40 percent from the field, but oddly enough, it was n't even his worst shooting performance of this season. The only worse shooting performance Curry had this season was on Dec. 15 against the Knicks when the two - time defending MVP shot a brutal 3 - of - 14 (21 percent) from the field on his way to scoring a season - low eight points in 34 minutes. In that game, however, Curry also managed to record 10 rebounds and eight assists, and the Warriors went on to win by a comfortable 13 points.

The Philadephia 76ers (2 - 30) defeated the Phoenix Suns (12 - 20) 111 - 104 on Saturday. Philadelphia pulled off the shocking road upset with the help of an early exit from Suns offensive linchpin Eric Bledsoe, who suffered a sprained knee in the second quarter. However, it was their impressively fast start that set the tone, with the Sixers racing out to a 29 - 15 first quarter lead. Ironically, the visitor's starting lineup was markedly different on a couple of fronts from the one that has significantly struggled throughout the campaign, and the new blood and musical chairs may have provided a boost. Rookie standout Jahlil Okafor was forced to miss the contest with a knee injury, pressing Nerlens Noel into service at the five. Meanwhile, Ish Smith made his return to Philadelphia, and the starting lineup for that matter, after being traded on Christmas Eve from New Orleans to the team he spent part of the 2014 - 15 season with. His inclusion into the starting five shifted Isaiah Canaan over to the two - guard spot, while Noel's move to center brought Jerami Grant off the bench to start at power forward. It also provided veteran Carl Landry with an opportunity for expanded minutes in his reserve role. The changes were largely positive, and resulted in a rare victory for the worst team in the league. Canaan led the scoring with 22 points, and he added four rebounds, three assists, and a steal. Smith displayed some of the same scoring punch he'd flashed with the Pelicans earlier in the season, managing 14 points and adding five assists, two rebounds, a steal and a block. Noel came through with an impressive double - double, tallying 14 points, hauling in 11 boards, and adding three steals and a pair of blocks. Landry pitched in with 16 points, eight rebounds and a steal over a highly efficient 23 minutes, in only his second game of the campaign after offseason wrist surgery delayed his debut. Even former starter Nik Stauskas got in on the fun, pacing the Philadelphia bench with 17 points, four rebounds and a pair of assists. The Sixers improved to 2 - 30 but remain in last place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They now head to Utah to play the Jazz on Monday. The Suns only got eight minutes, four points and two rebounds out of Bledsoe before his injury, which will be the subject of an MRI in the coming days. Bledsoe's backcourt mate Brandon Knight attempted to pick up some of the slack but was inefficient in doing so, sinking only seven of his 23 shot attempts. He did add seven assists, three rebounds and three steals. Jon Leuer came within a rebound of a double - double, tallying 14 points and nine boards, while P.J. Tucker returned to the starting lineup with a 10 - point effort. 2015 first - round pick Devin Booker received extended opportunity off the bench due to Bledsoe's injury and contributed 19 points, the second - best scoring total of his brief career. Tyson Chandler joined him as the other double - digit scoring reserve, impressively amassing a 10 - point, 10 - rebound double - double in just 15 minutes of court time. The Suns fell to 12 - 20 and currently reside in fourth place in the Western Conference's Pacific Division. They remain home for a Monday showdown with the reigning Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Atlanta Hawks (3 - 2) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (2 - 3) 107 - 97 on Wednesday at Philips Arena in Atlanta during game five of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Hawks got off to an extremely quick start in this one, out - scoring the Nets 33 - 16 in the first quarter alone. The Nets were n't going to let that phase them though, and they slowly closed the gap throughout the second quarter and into the third. The Nets then went on a 90 run to start the fourth quarter to bring the score within three points, but the Hawks were able to rebound and hold off the Nets while kicking it into gear late to pull off the 10 - point victory in front of their home crowd. The Hawks now own a 3 - 2 advantage in the series, but they'll head to Brooklyn next, where they dropped both games previously this series. Jeff Teague and Al Horford were two players that really helped the Hawks close this game out down the stretch. Teague finished with 20 points (7 - 14 FG, 3 - 6 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT), eight assists and three steals and he hit a few clutch shots late in the fourth with the Nets closing in. After struggling with his shot over the first three games of this series, Teague has really started to dial it in, considering he's combined for 40 points and 19 assists over his last two games while shooting over 40 percent from the field. Horford, on the other hand, recorded 20 points (10 - 17 FG) of his own, to go along with 15 rebounds and two blocked shots. His 15 rebounds were his best numbers so far in the playoffs and they helped the Hawks secure a 43 - 35 rebounding advantage over the Nets. DeMarre Carroll played a huge factor as well though. Carroll scored a team - high of 24 points (8 - 15 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 6 - 8 FT), while also adding seven rebounds and two steals. He's on fire right now as he's scored 20 points or more over his last three playoff games, while shooting over 50 percent from the field in each of those as well. The Nets surprisingly got their biggest production from their bench, as both Alan Anderson and Jarrett Jack were big in leading the Nets back from a large first quarter deficit. Anderson went a ridiculous 9 - for - 11 from the field and 4 - for - 4 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 23 points, to go along with seven rebounds in 32 minutes. It was the most minutes he's seen yet this postseason and he made it count with a very strong performance. Jack, on the other hand, chipped in with 18 points (7 - 13 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), six assists and three steals over 32 minutes. The Nets' bench out - scored the Hawks' bench 41 - 16, but their starters did n't do enough to take advantage of the extra help. Brook Lopez has dominated this series, but he shot just 4 - of - 13 from the field Wednesday. He did hit all seven of his free throw attempts though and finished with 15 points, three rebounds and three blocked shots. Joe Johnson chipped in with 18 points (7 - 15 FG, 3 - 8 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and nine rebounds as well. These two teams will play game six on Friday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The Knicks spread the scoring out amongst the starters, and although Kristaps Porzingis' night ended on a rough note after fouling out late in the fourth quarter, Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose were able to carry the weight. Anthony led the Knicks in scoring with 26 points, to go along with two assists and five rebounds on 9 - of - 17 shooting. Rose went on to score 20 points and led all players with 40 minutes of action. The Pacers were led by Paul George, who scored a game high 31 points on 11 - of - 24 shooting. The Pacers star forward fired 10 shots from behind the arc, but was only able to bury three of those long range shots. Myles Turner, save for a costly turnover with seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, played well on both ends of the floor. The young Pacers center went on to score 22 points and grab 10 rebounds, to go along with two blocks.

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Phoenix Suns, 119 - 98, at AT & T Center on Wednesday. While a Spurs blowout was the expected result, it took a monster second half to get there. In fact, there were six ties and eight lead changes in the first 30 - plus minutes, as neither team led by more than 10 points until the final six minutes. San Antonio actually outscored Phoenix, 61 - 34 in the second half to pull away in their 21 - point win. Rebounding was the biggest discrepancy, as the Spurs won that battle, 46 - 33. They dominated the paint through scoring as well, as San Antonio dropped 64 paint points in their win. Phoenix (9 - 23) did a great job of hanging around in this game, but the Spurs were simply too much to overcome in this lopsided matchup.

Marquese Chriss and Eric Bledsoe were the only two starters in double figures, as they scored 13 points a piece. T.J. Warren led the team in scoring, as he accrued 24 points and six rebounds off the bench. Devin Booker had a game to forget, as he went 2 - of - 13 from the field en route to eight points, three rebounds and four assists. Phoenix will look to play better on Thursday in a home matchup against the Toronto Raptors. San Antonio (25 - 6) did n't play their best in the first half, but they really gave it to the Suns in the second half. Four starters scored in double figures, with Kyle Anderson failing to score in the absence of Kawhi Leonard (sickness). LaMarcus Aldridge continued his fantastic form. as he led the team with 27 points and eight rebounds on 10 - of - 12 shooting.

The Utah Jazz (23 - 25) defeated the Chicago Bulls (26 - 21) 105 - 96 in overtime at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Monday. The neck - and - neck matchup needed overtime to decide a victor and the thrilling game never saw either team really pull ahead until the overtime period. With just over two minutes remaining in regulation, Jimmy Butler drained a 25 footer and E'Twaun Moore followed up with pull up jumper to give the Bulls a four point lead. The Jazz were able to answer from the charity stripe to lock the game down at 90 points each, but on the following possession, Jimmy Butler brought up the ball, drived hard to the rim and kicked it out to a wide open Derrick Rose behind the arc. Rose nailed the three - point shot to give Chicago the edge with 18 left, but Gordon Hayward found his way back to the free throw line, and although he missed the second free throw, Taj Gibson did not box out appropriately, allowing the Jazz one more possession.

Patrick Beverley entered the season injured, but he also entered the season knowing he would no longer be the Rockets' starting point guard, and while he had to take a minor step back in favor of the MVP candidate, he has remained a valuable part of Houston's season. His performance in Wednesday's 19 - point victory over the Clippers personified just how important the 6 - foot - 1 point guard is to his team, as he posted 14 points, 12 rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes. The key statistic there is the 12 rebounds, as Beverley's high activity on the boards has commonly led to success for Houston. Beverley has recorded at least nine rebounds in a game 10 times this season, and in those nine games, the Rockets are 9 - 1 and won those nine games by an average margin of 16 points.

Down 78 - 68 coming out of the third quarter, the Heat started playing with some urgency and out - scored the Kings 28 - 18 to pull it even and force an overtime battle. The overtime period went back and forth all of the way, but with the Heat up just one, Tyler Johnson hit a clutch three - pointer with just 50 seconds left in overtime, putting the Heat up by four, and the Kings were never able to make up the deficit from there on out. A big help in the Heat's comeback was their defense, as they forced the Kings into 22 turnovers, while committing just 14 of their own. The Heat's chances of winning looked bleak after finding out they'd be without three starters, including Luol Deng, Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside. The duo of Dwyane Wade and Tyler Johnson came out and made up or the key losses though, as each notched a big game. Wade went 10 - for - 18 from the field and 1 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 28 points, while adding four rebounds and four assists. He's on a very strong stretch of four games, averaging 23 points, 6 assists and 3 steals over that span. Johnson, on the other hand, finished with 24 points (7 - 12 FG, 3 - 5 3Pt, 7 - 10 FT), six rebounds and six assists of his own. The rookie is starting to make his presence known, as this was the second time he surpassed the 20 - point mark over his last four games. He's still averaging just 7 points per game on the year. Recently acquired, Michael Beasley, also was a big factor in the victory. In 37 minutes off the bench, he recorded 18 points (9 - 17 FG, 0 - 2 FT) and seven rebounds before fouling out. In just his sixth game of the year, the points were a new season - high. Despite the loss, the Kings' starters were still quite effective, especially DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay. Gay went 12 - for - 24 from the field and 3 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score 27 points, to go along with eight rebounds and five assists. While the Kings continue to lose, he's been a force lately for this team, averaging 25 points over his last five games. Cousins, on the other hand, finished with 27 points (10 - 17 FG, 7 - 8 FT) of his own, while adding 17 rebounds before fouling out. It marked his second double - double in a row, as he's combined for 56 points and 29 rebounds over his last two games. He's now averaging 24 points and 12 rebounds on the season. Ben McLemore had a fantastic showing with his shot. He went 7 - for - 16 from the field and 3 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score 20 points in 44 minutes. He had gone a combined 3 - for - 13 from the field over his last two games, so it was good to see him get dialed in on Saturday. The Heat's next game will be at home against the Boston Celtics on Monday, while the Kings will travel to Atlanta to play the Hawks on Monday.
