The Oklahoma City Thunder (31 - 25) defeated the Denver Nuggets (20 - 35) 119 - 94 on Sunday at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. The Thunder came out on fire in this game, out - scoring the Nuggets 36 - 18 in the first quarter alone, while eventually finishing the first half with a 67 - 42 lead. Adding to the strong start, the Thunder shot very well in this game, going 52 percent from the field and 40 percent from the three - point line, while the Nuggets finished at 36 percent from the field and a meager 26 percent from deep. To go along with their superior shooting, the Thunder also had a strong showing on the glass, securing a 60 - 42 rebounding advantage. The Thunder had three players reach the 20 - point plateau. As he's been doing all season long, the Russell Westbrook show continued, as he went 8 - for - 12 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the three - point line to finish with a team - high of 21 points, while adding eight rebounds and 17 assists in just 27 minutes. He was extremely effective, and could've had some even bigger numbers, if he was n't pulled due to a huge lead. Coming out of the All-Star break, he's picked up right where he left off, recording three double - doubles in a row, a stretch where he's averaged 29 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists per game. Newly aquired center Enes Kanter played very well in his second game as a member of the Thunder. He posted 20 points (8 - 12 FG, 4 - 6 FT) and 12 rebounds, notching his second double - double in as many games with the Thunder. He's combined for 30 points and 25 rebounds during that span. Nearing a triple - double of his own, Serge Ibaka finished with 20 points (10 - 18 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt), eight rebounds and eight blocked shots in just 26 minutes. Just like Westbrook, he was extremely effective in a limited amount of minutes. Dion Waiters chipped in with 17 points (7 - 15 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) off the bench. The Nuggets struggled to get their offense going, with only three players reaching double figures in points. After sitting out of Friday's game against the Bucks for an undisclosed reason, Ty Lawson moved back into the starting lineup and led the team with 17 points (6 - 12 FG, 0 - 2 3PT, 5 - 5 FT), four assists and three steals in just 23 minutes. This was his first game since February tenth, so it was good to see there was n't much rust despite the lengthy absence. Starting at shooting guard, Danilo Gallinari also did as much as he could to keep the Nuggets alive. He went 5 - for - 11 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to post 16 points in 19 minutes. He shot a brutal 25 percent (3 - 12 FG) from the field in Friday's game against the Bucks, so it was good to seem him have better success with his shot this time around. The only other player in double figures was rookie center Jusuf Nurkic. He recorded 10 points (5 - 13 FG) and seven rebounds, but could n't do it defensively and was n't able to slow down the Thunder's bigs. The Thunder's next game will be at home against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, while the Nuggets will be at home against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

Rodney Hood, who's become a dependable secondary source of production, managed 16 points, five rebounds and an assist. Rudy Gobert did a solid job keeping the offensively proficient Brook Lopez in check, and pitched in with 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three blocks. Raul Neto and Trey Lyles matched Gobert's scoring total, with the former also adding a pair of rebounds and a pair of assists, and the latter hauling in five boards and recording a steal. Trevor Booker led the reserves with a 13 - point, 10 - rebound double - double, while Trey Burke pitched in with 12 points and three rebounds in a reserve role as well. With the win, Utah remains in second place in the Western Conference's Northwest Division. They head home to face off against the Pistons on Monday. Up against the Stifle Tower, Brook Lopez found himself largely stymied on the night. He registered eight points, three rebounds and a pair of steals in only 19 minutes of action, equaling his lowest allotment of playing time on the season. Bojan Bogdanovic actually led the Nets in scoring off the bench, amassing 14 points and hauling in a rebound. Willie Reed, also a reserve, was the second - leading scorer, collecting 12 points, three rebounds and a pair of assists. Wayne Ellington, who'd struggled offensively since taking over starting two - guard duties, tallied 11 points, a rebound and an assist.

The Atlanta Hawks (31 - 24) took down the Chicago Bulls (27 - 25) Wednesday night at the United Center, 113 - 90. The shorthanded Bulls, already playing without Jimmy Butler, lost Taj Gibson to a foot injury in the second half. The lack of depth ccaught up with them, as the Hawks increased their lead from three points at half time to 16 points heading into the fourth quarter behind an explosive 38 - point third period. The Bulls never got it within double - digits in the final quarter. Dennis Schroder came off the bench to score 18 points (6 - 10) to lead the Hawks despite playing just 18 minutes. Jeff Teague's 17 points led starters and he added eight assists, five rebounds and three steals. It was a team effort, as the Hawks recorded a brilliant 25 - to - 12 assist - to - turnover ratio as a team and nailed 13 of their 33 three - point shots (39 percent). Bulls center Pau Gasol led all scorers with 20 points (9 - 16 FG) and added 10 rebounds and five assists. Derrick rose scored 14 but struggled from the field (6 - 18 FG).

The Orlando Magic defeated the Chicago Bulls, 98 - 91, at Amway Center on Wednesday evening. The Bulls (31 - 33) were in danger of playing Wednesday's contest without their two most talented players, as Jimmy Butler's (illness) availability suddenly came into question earlier in the day, while Dwyane Wade (thigh) was already ruled out. However, Butler persevered and took the court, posting a team - high 21 points that he supplemented with nine assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block. However, with no other player tallying more than 13 points, it was n't quite enough against a Magic (24 - 41) squad that had its starting backcourt of Elfrid Payton and Evan Fournier hitting on all cylinders. Orlando put together an excellent defensive effort as well, limiting the Bulls to 14 points in the fourth quarter and eliciting 16 turnovers from them. Jerian Grant was second on the Bulls with the aforementioned 13 - point total, and he added five rebounds, two assists and one steal. Cristiano Felicio posted a bench - leading 11 points that he supplemented with two rebounds and one assist. Robin Lopez contributed a near double - double of 10 points, nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks. Rajon Rondo (ankle), who had initially been deemed to be a game - time decision, took the floor and supplied eight points, six assists, five rebounds and one block in 28 minutes off the bench. Payton paced the Magic with a spectacular 22 - point, 14 - rebound, 14 - assist triple - double that also included two steals and two blocks. Fournier nearly accomplished a double - double himself with 20 points, nine boards, two assists and two steals. Terrence Ross registered 14 points, three rebounds and one assist.

The Celeveland Cavaliers (1 - 1) defeated the Chicago Bulls (1 - 1) 114 - 108 in overtime Friday. LeBron James was able to get his groove back in the Cavs' second game of the season Friday after putting up a subpar performance in his homecoming game Thursday.

Kevin Love posted a second straight double - double, finishing with 16 points and 16 rebounds, while backup big man Tristan Thompson stepped up off the bench and posted a big double - double of his own, finishing with 16 points and 13 rebounds in 36 minutes. Derrick Rose sprained his left ankle when he came down on Kyrie Irving's foot after a shot attempt. Rose stayed in the game initially but was later removed and never returned to action, instead opting to ice the injury in locker room. It is unclear how severe the injury is at this time, but in an effort to avoid further injury, it would n't be surprising to see the Bulls err on the side of caution and keep Rose out of action until his ankle is back at full strength. Jimmy Butler (thumb) went through shootaround Friday but was not ready to lace up his shoes and get back on the court. Kirk Hinrich started in Butler's absence, and Hinrich's late - game heroics had the game all but locked up before the Cavaliers enjoyed a favorable foul call and a bad defensive foul by second - year player Tony Snellthat allowed them to tie it up and force overtime. The Cavaliers have three days off with their next game not coming until Tuesday at the Moda Center against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Bulls will finish off a back - to - back set when they play on the road against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

The Utah Jazz defeated the New York Knicks, 114 - 109, at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The Jazz (4 - 3) braced themselves for an offensive void when they lost Gordon Hayward to a finger injury in preseason, as he was slated to miss a minimum of six weeks. However, the standout forward beat the recovery timetable by at least two weeks, starting at the three on Sunday for Utah. He looked as if he had n't missed a beat, rattling off a team - high 28 points, along with five rebounds. While he only found the net on six of his 17 field - goal attempts, he impressively drained all 14 of his shots from the free - throw line. His effort spearheaded a highly productive day for the Jazz offense that saw all five members of the first unit hit double - digit scoring and Utah produce a collective 51 percent success rate from the field.

Booker was the star, as he scored a game - high 36 points, including that game - winner. He did that damage on 12 - of - 20 shooting, while also bringing down five rebounds. T.J. Warren finished second on the team, totaling 16 points and eight rebounds. Eric Bledsoe accumulated 12 points, two rebounds and six assists. Tyler Ulis and Alan Williams came off the bench to combine for 18 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and three blocks. On deck for Phoenix is a home matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. The Mavericks (28 - 37) needed this game to stay within one game of the eight - seed in the west, but they allowed a 22 - win Phoenix team to play major spoiler. Dirk Nowitzki did all he could for Dallas, as he amassed 23 points and 11 rebounds on 10 - of - 14 shooting. Harrison Barnes shot just 5 - of - 16 from the field, but matched Nowitzki's 23 points, adding seven rebounds to his tally.

The Mavericks will return to action on Monday in a road matchup against the Toronto Raptors.

The Houston Rockets (13 - 4) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (10 - 8) 117 - 103 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Saturday. With Dwight Howard (knee), Isaiah Canaan (ankle) and Patrick Beverley (hamstring) missing from action, James Harden lead the injury - ridden core. Harden finished with 34 points (9 - 14 FG, 4 - 5 3Pt, 12 - 13 FT), six boards, eight assists and four steals. The Rockets also had solid contributions from Donatas Motiejunas, who had 20 points (9 - 13 FG, 2 - 3 FT) and Jason Terry with 18 points (7 - 15 FG, 4 - 8 3Pt). Off the bench, rookie forward Kostas Papanikolaou scored an incredibly efficient 12 points (5 - 6 FG, 2 - 2 3PT).

The Atlanta Hawks (2 - 2) tied up the series with their 106 - 101 win over the Washington Wizards (2 - 2). Paul Pierce, unable to recreate his Game 3 heroics, missed the game - tying three - pointer with seven seconds remaining. The referees failed to call Kyle Korver for traveling on the ensuing possession, leading to two Paul Millsap free throws. Coach Mike Budenholzer reinserted Paul Millsap into the starting lineup after promoting Pero Antic in Game 3 due to Millsap’s illness. Even though he was limited to 27 minutes with foul trouble, Millsap responded with 19 points, six assists, five rebounds and two steals. Jeff Teague had his best game of the Conference Semifinals, notching a team - high 26 points on 20 shots while dishing out eight assists. Al Horford, who was 7 - of - 23 from mid - range the previous three games, sank 6 - of - 11 from that zone in the Game 4 victory and recorded a double - double, finishing with 18 points and 10 rebounds. The Hawks' fourth All-Star, Kyle Korver, struggled to get open looks for the second straight game, scoring six points on 2 - of - 4 shooting. Even though he wasn’t able to tie the game late, Paul Pierce scored 22 points and passed Dennis Johnson on the all - time playoff scoring list. Bradley Beal left his mark on the game, scoring a playoff career - high 34 points, recording a team - high seven assists, securing six rebounds, pilfering three steals, blocking a shot and knocking down four three - pointers in a game - high 44 minutes. His effort was much needed with John Wall missing the third straight game because of a fractured hand and wrist. Wall’s absence has been doubly difficult on Marcin Gortat, who played 93 percent of his regular - season minutes with Wall on the court. In Game 4, Gortat was limited to three points on 1 - of - 7 shooting and a team - high eight rebounds in 31 minutes. It was the lowest point total on either side among players with at least five minutes of court time. Game 5 will take place in Atlanta on Wednesday night. It’ll be broadcast on TNT.

The Sacramento Kings (28 - 44) defeated the Phoenix Suns (20 - 52) 116 - 94 on Friday. Usually the Kings let down in games where they are big favorites, but that wasn’t the case on Friday. They really pulled away in the second and third quarters, as they outscored the Suns 64 - 40. The Sacramento defense was key, as they held Phoenix to 37 percent shooting and forced them to commit 22 turnovers. The Suns have been playing better recently, but this was an ugly performance. Brandon Knight was scratched minutes before tip - off and that really hurt them, as he was dealing with a stomach illness. Devin Booker was fantastic though, as he tallied 26 points, five rebounds and four assists. Alex Len scored 14 of his own, while also bringing down seven boards. On deck for the Suns is a matchup against the Boston Celtics on Saturday. The Kings haven’t had many games like this, but it was one of their best performances of the season. Despite playing just three quarters, DeMarcus Cousins scored 29 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Willie Cauley-Stein had the best game of his young career, as he scored a career - high 26 points off the bench. Up next for Sacramento is a matchup with the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.

The Toronto Raptors (7 - 3) took care of business on Friday night as they defeated the struggling New Orleans Pelicans (1 - 8) by a score of 100 - 81. New Orleans had a quick start and jumped ahead in the first quarter but the Raptors out scored them 83 - 60 the rest of the way. The Pelicans were missing their star Anthony Davis for the second game in a row and simply could not stay consistent leading to another blowout loss. Eric Gordon did his best to step up, scoring 30 points on 11 - 22 shooting. Jrue Holiday contributed 19 points, three assists and two steals and was looking good, shooting 8 - 14 from the field. Alexis Ajinca played well off the bench, with 10 points and nine rebounds. Rookie Ish Smith put up some decent numbers across the board with six points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals. No one else scored more than five points for the Pelicans, who are in need of some major help. The Toronto Raptors turned it up after an ugly first quarter and took control of the game resulting in a 19 point win. Young big - man Jonas Valanciunas led the Raptors in scoring with 20 points on top of 10 rebounds and two blocks in only 27 minutes. DeMar DeRozan tallied a double - double as well, with 15 points and 11 assists, along with six rebounds. Kyle Lowry played a very well rounded game, finishing with 20 points, six rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block. Lowry shot 4 - 8 from deep. DeMarre Carroll did not shoot well at 5 - 14 from the field, but still managed to contribute in many ways with 11 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block. Next up for the Raptors is a trip to see former teammate Rudy Gay in Sacramento on Sunday. Sacramento has been somewhat dysfunctional as of late but that is no reason to expect an easy win. As for the Pelicans, they will be visiting New York to play the Knicks on Monday. If Anthony Davis is back, it will be a great match up to watch as he would take on fiery rookie Kristaps Porzingis.

Andrew Wiggins followed up with 19 points on 9 - of - 22 shooting, and added six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block, in 36 minutes.

Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook filled the stat sheet as usual, with 21 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds to notch his 19th triple - double of the season.

The New Orleans Pelicans (34 - 29) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (44 - 18) 95 - 89 on Saturday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Coming into this game sitting just one game back from the Oklahoma City Thunder for the final projected playoff seed in the Western Conference standings, the Pelicans pulled off a big win Saturday, bringing themselves to within a half game of the Thunder. Despite being down 50 - 38 at half, the Pelicans took off in the third quarter, out - scoring the Grizzlies 33 - 17 to help set themselves up for the six - point victory in front of their home crowd. The Pelicans were the superior shooters in this game, going 48 percent from the field, while the Grizzlies finished at just 43 percent. The Pelicans were led by the duo of Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans in this one. Evans went 10 - for - 16 from the field and 3 - for - 8 from the three - point line to finish with a team - high of 26 points, to go along with seven rebounds and three steals. He struggled to just 11 points on Friday against the Boston Celtics, so it was good to see him rebound with a big performance. Davis, on the other hand, finished with 23 points (11 - 21 FG, 1 - 1 FT), 10 rebounds and five blocked shots in 40 minutes. After missing five games in a row with a shoulder injury, the Pelicans are loving what they're seeing from their superstar, as he's averaged 30 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks in the three games since his return. He's pushed his season averages to 24 points and 10 rebounds on the year. Eric Gordon also played a factor in the win, as he posted 16 points (4 - 6 FG, 3 - 5 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT) and six assists in 35 minutes. He's played well of late as well, combining for 36 points and eight assists over his last two games. For the Grizzlies, Jeff Green did the bulk of the work offensively. He went 8 - for - 18 from the field, but 0 - for - 3 from the three - point line to record 20 points, while adding four rebounds and three assists as well. He had shot less than 30 percent in two out of his last three games coming into Saturday, so it was good to see him get things turned around and have a productive showing from the field in this matchup. Mike Conley also had a strong showing, finishing with 17 points (5 - 9 FG, 3 - 6 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT), four rebounds and three assists of his own over 30 minutes. He's been quite inconsistent with his scoring lately, but he was able to put up some decent numbers Saturday. With both Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol combining for just 15 points between the two, Beno Udrih was the only other Grizzlies' player in double figures for points. In just 15 minutes off the bench, he posted 11 points (4 - 6 FG, 3 - 3 FT) and four rebounds. With a few of their stars struggling in this one, the Grizzlies just were n't able to overcome the Pelicans' strong play. The Pelicans' next game will be on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, while the Grizzlies will travel to Chicago to play the Bulls on Monday.

The San Antonio Spurs (21 - 14) outscored the Washington Wizards (22 - 11) 101 - 92 to move to 9 - 1 against Eastern Conference opponents. The Wizards dropped their third straight game on their five - game Western Conference road trip. The two teams will meet again in ten days for the second and final time this season. The Wizards blitzed the Spurs for 35 points in the first quarter but were held to 34 second - half points. Both teams shot below 30 percent from downtown. The Spurs outscored their opponents in the paint, 52 - 32, but were destroyed on fast break points, 20 - 2. Paul Pierce played 17 minutes, sitting both ends of each half.

The visiting Phoenix Suns took down the host Toronto Raptors on Sunday, 115 - 103. Phoenix (15 - 29) has now won two straight and has seen excellent play from its young backcourt. Sophomore shooting guard Devin Booker followed up 26 points on Saturday with 20 against Toronto, including five three - pointers. Of course, Booker's excellent play was nothing compared to point guard Eric Bledsoe, who dropped 40 points and dished out 13 assists. Bledsoe shot 11 - of - 17 and was a perfect 14 - of - 14 on free - throws. Strong shooting was the story of the night for Phoenix, as the team shot over 50 percent from the field and knocked down almost 93 percent of its free - throws. In addition to strong offensive play, Bledsoe played a role in containing the powerful Toronto backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, who shot just 11 - of - 34 on the night. Toronto (28 - 16) was demolished by the Hornets on Friday and was unable to rebound from the loss on Sunday afternoon. In what was a surprising turn, both of Toronto's All-Star guards struggled, as the two normal top scorers made just 11 shots for 34 points. Lowry had a particularly tough performance, shooting just 1 - of - 9 from beyond the arc. The Raptors as a whole struggled from the field about as much as the Suns succeeded, as the team finished shooting under 40 percent on the night. In particular, Toronto went ice cold in the fourth quarter, getting outscored by 15 points in the period. The Raptors will host the Spurs on Tuesday, while the Suns will host the Timberwolves.

The Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, 106 - 102, at Staples Center on Monday. The Clippers (22 - 11) came in to the game lacking some serious star power, as the starting backcourt of Chris Paul and J.J. Redick both joined Blake Griffin (knee) on the bench Monday night. That pushed ageless veteran Jamal Crawford and capable reserve Austin Rivers into the starting lineup, with both expected to play heavy minutes. That prognosis proved accurate, and the pair of guards turned in 24 and 19 points, respectively. However, the Nuggets (13 - 18) just had more firepower overall, as the duo of Nikola Jokic and Danilo Gallinari combined for a pair of double - doubles to lead the offensive attack. Gallinari sunk four key free throws in the last 16 seconds of the game to seal the win, Denver's seventh on the road this season. Jokic's 24 - point, 10 - rebound double - double led the way for the visitors, and he supplemented those numbers with four assists and three steals. Gallinari added 23 points, along with 11 rebounds, an assist and three steals. Will Barton chipped in off the bench with 23 points of his own, as well as eight boards and six dimes. Gary Harris contributed a modest 10 points, four rebounds and an assist. Kenneth Faried produced eight points, 10 rebounds, an assist and a steal in 19 minutes. Crawford complemented his aforementioned scoring total with six assists, four rebounds and two steals. Rivers supplied five assists, three rebounds and a steal in addition to his 19 - point tally. DeAndre Jordan tallied a 12 - point, 11 - rebound double - double that also included three steals and a block. Brandon Bass and Raymond Felton registered 11 and 10 points, respectively, off the bench. The Nuggets head back home to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday evening, while the Clippers visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night as well.

The Atlanta Hawks (2 - 1) were able to pull out a 97 - 94 home victory over the Charlotte Hornets (0 - 2) on Friday. After a tight first half, the Hawks were able to claim a 14 - point lead with under six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but a run of nine unanswered points by the Hornets resulted in an outcome that was too close for comfort. Still, Atlanta was able to make enough stops down the stretch to deny the late rally, as Kemba Walker missed the game - tying attempt from 25 feet to give Atlanta the victory. Though he only scored a combined five points in the team’s first two games, Kent Bazemore was the Hawks’ surprising scoring leader Friday, pouring in 19 points on 7 - for - 13 shooting, including a 4 - for - 5 mark from three - point range. He also tacked on nine rebounds for good measure, a total that was only second to Paul Millsap’s 10 boards for the team lead. Millsap also accrued 18 points, while Al Horford (18), Jeff Teague (14), and Dennis Schroder (14) rounded out the double - digit scorers. Schroder made his first start of the season while Kyle Korver was rested for maintenance purposes in the second game of a back - to - back set. The winless Hornets were foiled by their top two offensive threats suffering from poor shooting nights. Al Jefferson and Kemba Walker both shot 5 - for - 15 from the field to combine for just 23 points between them, while no other scorer on the team exceeded 14 points. Charlotte was at least able to win the battle of the boards, 54 - 45, thanks to double - digit rebound efforts from Marvin Williams (12), Nicolas Batum (11), and Jefferson (11). The two teams will get together for a rematch Sunday, with that game to take place in Atlanta.

The Detroit Pistons (11 - 23) defeated the San Antonio Spurs (21 - 15) 105 - 104 on Tuesday at the AT & T Center in San Antonio. Quite unexpectedly, the Pistons were able to keep their winning streak alive and extended it to six games in a row Tuesday. After the Pistons came out of the third quarter leading 82 - 77, the Spurs went on a fourth quarter run, out - scoring the Pistons 27 - 23. It was n't enough though, as the Spurs turned the ball over late when Tony Parker could n't handle an inbound pass from Tim Duncan and in turn Brandon Jennings took advantage, hitting a running bank shot with under a second left in the game to steal the victory. The Pistons had contributions from all over the court with six players reaching double figures in points. Andre Drummond led the charge, finishing with a monster line of 20 points (8 - 10 FG, 4 - 9 FT) and 17 rebounds. It was his second double - double in a row, as he's combined for 35 points and 31 rebounds over his last two outings. Greg Monroe notched a double - double of his own, going for 17 points (7 - 10 FG, 3 - 4 FT) and 11 rebounds. The Pistons' big men had their way in this game, as both were extremely efficient all night long. Along with the game - winning shot, Jennings had 13 points (5 - 18 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and seven assists. While it was n't his best night shooting, he came in clutch when it mattered, so you ca n't argue with his performance. Coming off the bench, D.J. Augustin had a strong game. He went off for 19 points (8 - 18 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT) and five assists, coming one point short of matching a season - high. For the Spurs, Tim Duncan did everything he could to combat the big night of the Pistons big men. Duncan went 7 - for - 12 from the field to score 15 points, while also adding seven rebounds and two blocks. He struggled to only four points in Saturday's game against the Wizards, so it was a nice bounce back outing for him. Having a big night off the bench was Jeff Ayres. Ayres went 5 - for - 8 from the field and 6 - for - 7 from the free throw line to score 16 points in only 16 minutes. It was far and away a season - high for him, after reaching double - digits in points only one other time this season. Tony Parker was able to get the start after missing the last five games with a hamstring injury. He ended up only playing 12 minutes though, and finished with three points and a pair of assists. Both Danny Green (5 - 10 FG, 3 - 5 3Pt) and Marco Belinelli (4 - 8 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 2 - 2FT) had strong shooting efforts in this one, finishing with 13 and 12 points respectively. The Pistons' next game will be on the road against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, while the Spurs will be at home against the Phoenix Suns on Friday.

The Los Angeles Clippers (26 - 13) defeated the Miami Heat (22 - 17) 104 - 90, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday. The Clippers came into this game on a nine - game winning streak but none of those wins came against a team with a record better than .500. The Heat came in having lost three of their last four and in the midst of a six - game road trip, which put them in a tough spot against the streaking Clippers. Now the Clippers boast a 10 - game win streak, which includes one win against a formidable opponent, while the Heat are 1 - 3 on their road trip and have dropped four of their last five. The Clippers dominated the second half of the game, during which they outscored Miami 59 - 38. DeAndre Jordan sat this one out at the last minute due to illness but Cole Aldrich did a fantastic job filling in at the center position. Aldrich led the team in scoring with 19 points (7 - 14 FG, 5 - 7 FT), along with seven rebounds and three assists, in 24 minutes. Chris Paul finished with a double - double consisting of 15 points (6 - 17 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt) and 12 assists, as well as six rebounds and four steals, in 30 minutes. Paul Pierce chipped in a solid 15 points (6 - 10 FG. 3 - 7 3Pt) and nine rebounds, in 21 minutes The Clips kept the turnovers to a minimun, with eight. Miami gave up a horrid 24 turnovers, a problem which contributed to the Clippers getting 24 more field goal attempts in the game. Gerald Green was solid in 32 minutes off the bench, with 19 points (7 - 14 FG, 4 - 8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal. Dwyane Wade finished with 16 points (6 - 10 FG, 4 - 9 FT), eight rebounds and four assists, however he also tallied an awful seven turnovers.

The Heat will move on to Devner for the fifth game of their current six - game road trip, on Friday. The Clippers will look to extend their win streak when they host the Kings on Saturday.

The Golden State Warriors (67 - 15) defeated the Denver Nuggets (30 - 52) 133 - 126 on Wednesday. The Warriors clinched the Western Conference long ago and at this point were just trying to stay healthy for the playoffs. In a somewhat meaningless game for Golden State, no starter played more than 20 minutes, and no bench players saw the floor for more than 25 minutes. Despite playing just 16 minutes, Klay Thompson managed to lead the Warriors with 25 points on 8 - for - 12 shooting from the field and 5 - for - 7 from downtown. Golden State will take on the New Orleans Pelicans (45 - 37) when the playoffs commence this weekend. The Nuggets ended a second straight disappointing season with a loss to the top - seeded Warriors. Jusuf Nurkic finished an up and down season with 17 points and nine rebounds for Denver, as Kenneth Faried was held out of the regular season finale to rest. With a 30 win season, the Nuggets end 2014 - 2015 as the 12th best team in the Western Conference. They finished 15 wins behind the eighth - seeded New Orleans Pelicans.

The Denver Nuggets (14 - 24) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (17 - 20) 95 - 92 on Sunday night In a game between two struggling teams, it was clear to see why in this game. Both teams really struggled with their strokes in this matchup, as the Nuggets shot 42 percent to Charlotte's 36 percent. The fourth quarter was especially ugly, as the teams combined for 29 points in a display of inefficiency. There's not much to differentiate the teams in the stat sheet and it was as simple as the Nuggets getting out to a double - digit lead early in the fourth quarter and holding on for the win. Charlotte shot 11 - for - 45 in the second half and that ultimately cost them the game as well. The Hornets have now lost eight - straight games and are really struggling on the road with a 4 - 13 record. The good news here is that Nicolas Batum returned from his four - game absence from a toe injury to tally nine points, six rebounds and seven assists in the defeat. The backcourt was terrible for the Hornets tonight, as Batum, Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin combined to go 6 - for - 29 from the field while scoring just 22 points. The one bright spot was Jeremy Lamb, who amassed 15 points and eight rebounds off the bench. The Hornets will look to get out of this rut on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Denver needed this win desperately and what makes it even better is that it came at home. This team was just 5 - 11 at the Pepsi Center prior to this win and they need to make that home venue a safe haven if they want to have any success this season. Emmanuel Mudiay returned for this game after dealing with an ankle injury for some time and played an astounding 39 minutes, totaling 11 points, six assists and four rebounds. Danilo Gallinari was the hero though, as he scored 27 points in the win. He is now averaging over 25 points per game over his last six games. The big surprise was a nine - assist performance from Nikola Jokic, who is proving to be a nice asset in the frontcourt for Denver. The Nuggets will look to build off this win in a tough matchup, when they host the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday in their next game.

The Milwaukee Bucks (29 - 38) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (18 - 48) 109 - 100 on Sunday. Despite playing a competitive game through four quarters, the Nets provided a textbook example of how statistics can sometimes be deceiving. They turned in a solid shooting night, tallying 56 and 44 percent success rates from the field and three - point range, respectively. Both figures were superior to those of the Bucks in those categories, but one other area of the stat sheet largely did Brooklyn in Sunday. The Nets committed more than double the turnovers of the visitors, handing the ball over 20 times to the Bucks.

The Memphis Grizzlies (41 - 14) defeated the Los Angeles Clippers (37 - 20) 90 - 87 on Monday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. In a very evenly matched game, it was the Grizzlies who pulled out the close victory, as they took down a team that they could see again when the playoffs come around. Both teams had similar shooting percentages, with the Grizzlies going 41 percent from the field and 33 percent from the three - point line, while the Clippers went 44 percent from the floor and 33 percent from deep as well. The Clippers did turn the ball over 14 times, compared to only 10 turnovers from the Grizzlies, so those few extra mistakes may have cost them in this one. The Clippers got most of their production from Chris Paul on Monday. He went 13 - for - 22 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score 30 points, while also adding 10 assists and two blocked shots. It was the fifth double - double over his last six games, a stretch where he's averaged 20 points and 12 assists. The only other Clipper to reach double figures in points was Jamal Crawford, who came off the bench for 15 points (4 - 15 FG, 3 - 8 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and three rebounds in 26 minutes. He had scored 20 or more points in six straight games leading up to this one, but he could n't keep the streak alive. It was still a solid line for the guard, who now owns a season average of 16 points per game. DeAndre Jordan went a perfect 4 - for - 4 from the field to score nine points, to go along with 17 rebounds and two blocked shots. He continues to be an absolute animal on the boards, grabbing 15 or more rebounds in each of his last five games. The Clippers put themselves in position to grab a win, but just could n't get it done in the end. For the Grizzlies, Mike Conley had a solid showing. He posted 18 points (5 - 10 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 7 - 8 FT), seven assists and two steals in 34 minutes. He's had a nice impact on the defensive side of the ball lately as well, recording two or more steals in four out of his last five games. Jeff Green shot the ball well in this one. He went 5 - for - 12 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 16 points, while adding six rebounds. He's now averaging 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on the season. Marc Gasol reached double figures as well, posting 14 points (6 - 11 FG, 2 - 2 FT), to go along with six rebounds and three blocked shots. It was his second straight game with three blocks. While he did n't have the best game offensively as he scored just seven points (2 - 12 FG, 3 - 6 FT), Zach Randolph made up for it by grabbing 10 rebounds. It was only the second time over his last 20 games he failed to reach double - digit points, but his teammates picked up the slack and the Grizzlies still came out with the win. Coming off the bench, Tony Allen chipped in with 10 points (4 - 10 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes. The Grizzlies' next game will be on the road against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, while the Clippers will travel to Houston to play the Rockets on Wednesday.

Minnesota's woes continued Tueday when their losing streak was extended to nine games, falling to Utah by a score of 100 - 94. The Timberwolves let an eight - point lead with four minutes to go slip away as the Jazz scored 11 unanswered points to take control. In their Monday night loss to the Clippers, the Jazz's sub - par free throw shooting sunk them down the stretch, but they performed much better at the charity stripe Tuesday, burying 17 of their 22 free throws against the Timberwolves. Gordon Hayward had his third 20 - point game in his last four contests. Against the Timberwolves, he led the Jazz with 26 points in 36 minutes. Despite losing their ninth straight game, Minnesota has to be encouraged by Shabazz Muhammad's night. Muhammad scored a season - high 30 points on 10 - of - 17 shooting from the floor, including five three - pointers. The Timberwolves are idle Wednesday before hosting the Kings on New Year's Day. The Jazz, coming off a tough loss Monday night at the Clippers, were able to rally in the fourth quarter against the Timberwolves. Utah has now won five of their last seven games, including wins at the Heat and at the Grizzlies. The Jazz will have the next two nights off before hosting the Hawks on Friday.

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Houston Rockets 102 - 100 Tuesday at Toyota Center. The Spurs (23 - 5) entered the fourth quarter down seven points after the Rockets (21 - 8) put together a dominant performance in the third period to take the lead. But San Antonio, being the road warriors they are, managed to extend their record away from home to 15 - 1 thanks to a game - winning Patty Mills jumper with just 12 seconds left. Eric Gordon and James Harden both had their shot at game - winners after that, but failed to convert on their home floor. Mills finished with 13 points off the bench for the Spurs, but it was Kawhi Leonard who once again led the way for his team, scoring a team - high 21 points on top of five rebounds, four assists and five steals. LaMarcus Aldridge added a double - double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. For the Rockets, Tuesday's defeat put an end to their 10 - game win streak, but, for the team being, they remain in third place in the Western Conference standings. James Harden led the way for Houston with 31 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, but he shot just 10 - of - 26 from the field and 1 - of - 11 from behind the arc. And that cold streak from 3 - point range was contagious, as the team as a whole shot a miserable 6 - of - 38 (16 percent) from long range after being nearly unstoppable from behind the arc over their win streak. Up next, the Spurs will look to continue their winning ways on the road Thursday when they take on the Clippers, while the Rockets look to get back on track Wednesday in Phoenix.

The Magic (16 - 12) managed to outlast the Knicks (14 - 15) en route to a 107 - 99 victory at Madison Square Garden on Monday. Nikola Vucevic had 20 of his game - high 26 points after the third quarter while Evan Fournier was able to make a couple of huge baskets back - to - back to give the Magic a six point lead with two minutes remaining in the fourth, which ultimately put the Knicks out of reach. Vucevic abused New York down low, finishing 13 - of - 19 from the field with nine rebounds. Carmelo Anthony started off hot for the Knicks, but cooled off in the final frame. The Magic may have got the win Monday, but they lost point guard Elfrid Payton in the first quarter due to a sore left ankle. Prior to leaving, Payton was having a decent night with five points and three assists in 10 minutes of action. Orlando turned to Victor Oladipo in Payton's absence and he put together a nice game, scoring 12 points (4 - 7 FG, 4 - 5 FT) in 24 minutes. The Magic have been very good on the defensive side of the ball lately, but losing Payton will certainly affect those results should he be sidelined for an extended period of time. The Knicks were n't able to get a stop down the stretch, which led to their demise. They did however get an encouraging game from Lance Thomas, who matched his career high of 24 points - - which was also a season high - - while shooting a perfect 9 - of - 9 from the field (3 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT). Thomas has really come on in the month of December, averaging almost 12 points and a little over 20 minutes per game off the bench while having scored in double figures in six straight.

The Golden State Warriors (48 - 12) dominated the Dallas Mavericks (40 - 24) en route to a 104 - 89 victory Friday in Oakland. It was an all - around brilliant team performance from the Warriors as six different players scored in double figures. Stephen Curry lead the way, recording 22 points on 6 - of - 11 shooting and seven assists in 31 minutes. Draymond Green also put together a solid outing, putting up 18 points on 8 - of - 14 shooting, nine rebounds, and four assists in 31 minutes. Klay Thompson struggled shooting from the field, but still managed 16 points on 5 - of - 14 shooting in 31 minutes. Harrison Barnes (12), Marreese Speights (12), and Shaun Livingston (10) rounded out the Golden State players who scored in double figures. The team improved to 26 - 2 at home this season and continue to have a hold on first place in the Western Conference. Nobody on the Mavericks could get anything going offensively. Rajon Rondo and Dirk Nowitzki led the team in scoring with 14 points each, but the two shot a combined 11 - of - 31 from the field. Monta Ellis had a horrendous shooting night, scoring just six points on 2 - of - 14 shooting. As a team, Dallas shot just 37 percent from the field and are currently in sixth place in the Western Conference after losing four of their last five games. Up next, the Warriors will stay at home and go up against the Clippers on Sunday, while the Mavericks will travel to Los Angeles Sunday to take on the Lakers.

The Golden State Warriors (57 - 6) defeated the Utah Jazz (29 - 35) 115 - 94 at Oracle Arena on Wednesday. The Warriors continued their home dominance in the regular season and improved to 280 at Oracle Arena. The outlier as compared to most Golden State games this season was Stephen Curry, who started the game 0 - for - 5 from the field, but made up for his off shooting with six assists in the first quarter. Curry finished the night with just 12 points, three rebounds and 10 assists on 4 - of - 12 shooting, but was bailed out by splash brother Klay Thompson, who led all scorers in the contest with 23 points. Thompson added was absent from the box score in terms of rebounding and assists, but he buried 5 - of - 8 from deep in 30 minutes. Draymond Green seemed to end his skid of rough shooting on his way to 17 points, to go along with seven rebounds, five assists and three blocks. The rotating bench hero honors belonged to Leandro Barbosa and Marreese Speights, as their 29 combined points kept the Jazz on their heels throughout the second half. It’s tough to put up a contest against the league’s best team, especially when they are a lights out 57 percent shooting as a unit. Trey Burke pitched in one of his better performances of the season in his bench role, and outside of getting crossed over by Curry, who followed up with a 55 - foot halftime buzzer beating, bank shot, three pointer, he led the Jazz in scoring and outplayed the starting backcourt. Burke added 18 points, including a perfect 8 - of - 8 from the charity stripe, in 22 minutes. Utah played physically during the first quarter, but the Warriors pace proved to be too much for Gordon Hayward and the rest of the starters, who looked gassed after just one half of play. Hayward contributed 16 points and six boards, but his team shot a combined 41 percent, and that was on a night where Curry looked vulnerable. Rodney Hood (back) did not play, but could return as soon as Friday. Both teams play on Friday, as the Jazz will host the Washington Wizards (29 - 34), and the Warriors face one of the six teams that have beat them this season, the Portland Trail Blazers (34 - 31).

The Phoenix Suns (15 - 44) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (34 - 24) 111 - 106 on Saturday. Not many people would have expected a Suns win in this game, but they got off to a hot start and held off the Grizzlies for a much needed victory. Phoenix led 25 - 17 after the first quarter and proceeded to carry a double - digit lead into the fourth quarter. Despite the Grizzlies making a furious run, the Suns held them off in the final seconds. The key for Phoenix was their big men, as they outrebounded Memphis 55 to 35. Memphis came into this matchup winning four of their last five and really should have made it five of six. They lost to a Suns team that is really struggling and were simply outhustled all evening long. Mike Conley and Zach Randolph tied the team lead with 19 points in the loss, despite the two combining to go 12 - for - 31 from the field. The ball movement and rebounding was terrible, as the team combined for just seven assists outside of Conley's eight and were nearly doubled up on the boards. Memphis will look to play better on Monday when they face the Denver Nuggets in their next game. The Suns had lost 28 of their last 30, so to say this win was needed would be a drastic understatement. Alex Len was fantastic, as he scored 22 points, while snatching down 16 rebounds in the win. P.J. Tucker flirted with a triple - double, as he accumulated 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in one of the best games of his career. The Suns wo n't play again until Tuesday, when they take on the Charlotte Hornets on the road.

The Indiana Pacers (40 - 36) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (9 - 68) 115 - 102 on Saturday. Indiana coach Frank Vogel opted for a change in his starting five prior to Saturday night's contest, inserting Lavoy Allen into the first unit and sending rookie Myles Turner to the bench. However, it was a night where the reserves stood out more than the front line players, as C.J. Miles, Rodney Stuckey and Turner all outshined their starting counterparts.

Harden actually has at least 30 points and 12 assists across each of his last four games. Markieff Morris really battled with his jumper all night long, going just 3 - of - 14 from the field in a seven - point, nine - rebound performance.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the visiting Atlanta Hawks, 123 - 98, to take a 20 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena. The contest was such a blowout at one point that even the 25 - point final margin of victory belies the extent of Cleveland's domination. After building a 35 - 20 lead after one quarter, the Cavs broke open the game for good in a second period that they prevailed in by a score of 39 - 18. The 74 - 38 halftime lead rendered the second half a veritable formality, and even with the Hawks outscoring a disinterested Cleveland squad by a score of 60 - 49 over the final 24 minutes, they never got within striking distance of the home team. It was an all - around stellar effort from the Cavs, which shot 47 percent from the field and 56 percent from three - point range, and elicited 16 turnovers from an overmatched Atlanta unit. With the game turning into a hopeless cause for the Hawks by halftime, no member of the starting five played more than 27 minutes.

The bench saw more action than usual, with Kris Humphries pacing the reserves with 12 points, nine rebounds, an assist and a steal. Thabo Sefolosha and Mike Muscala followed with a pair of 10 - point efforts, with the former adding two rebounds and two assists, while the latter also hauling in a rebound.

The latter also led all scorers with 27 points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals. Meanwhile, Smith followed with 23 points, two rebounds and a pair of steals. He also enjoyed his second straight prolific game from three - point range, as he sank seven of 13 attempts from beyond the arc.

All five members of their first unit tallied double digits in the scoring column, and Utah shot a stellar 49 percent from the field overall. The Magic (17 - 25) did a pretty good job of keeping pace, though, as they emerged from the first quarter with a 42 - 29 lead and managed a 46 percent success rate from the floor.

The San Antonio Spurs (40 - 8) took care of business against the Orlando Magic (21 - 26) in a 107 - 92 win on Monday. The Spurs came into this game as a 15 - point favorite and did exactly what they were expected to do.

The Magic actually dominated the rebounding, but were outshot 51 percent to 41 percent in the loss. San Antonio recorded 27 assists on their 40 made buckets in the victory as well. Orlando has broken an eight - game losing streak in their most recent win, but this was a tough task against the Spurs. The offense really struggled, as they barely cracked 40 percent shooting and committed 16 turnovers in the loss.

Victor Oladipo was also extremely active, as he tallied 19 points, seven assists and five steals in the defeat. Up next for the Magic is a date with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. The Spurs got a ton of production from their bench in this matchup, as most starters barely played half the game. The bench scored 56 points in all with Patty Mills dropping 22 points, four rebounds and five assists in a great performance. LaMarcus Aldridge had one of his best games as a Spur too, as he scored 28 points and swatted away five shots in the win.

The Los Angeles Clippers (25 - 13) needed overtime to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans (11 - 25) 114 - 111 Sunday at Staples Center. Both teams came into this game missing an all - star. The Pelicans were without Anthony Davis who suffered a back contusion during their last game versus Indiana, when he dove into the crowd after a loose ball. Meanwhile, Blake Griffin has missed the last eight games with a partially torn quadriceps muscle.

Both teams went scoreless from then until J.J Redick hit one of his two free throws, putting the Clippers up by one. New Orleans had the side - inbound and passed it in to Jrue Holiday near the opposing three - point line. Holiday immediately pulled up for a shot as he felt the defense all over him. Holiday was fouled and hit three free throws to tie the game and send it to OT. It was a back and forth overtime period but Chris Paul and Wesley Johnson came up with some clutch shooting to put the game just out of reach and hand the Pelicans their third straight loss. Paul finished the game with a graceful 25 points (10 - 18 FG, 3 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT), 11 assists and five rebounds, in 40 minutes.

The Chicago Bulls defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 115 - 109, at Spectrum Center on Monday night. The Bulls (31 - 35) had looked particularly sluggish during the five - game losing streak they'd come in to Monday with, as even the normally dependable Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade had appeared to fall victim to the malaise. In an attempt to shake matters up, head coach Fred Hoiberg opted to reinsert the mercurial Rajon Rondo into the starting lineup and bring Nikola Mirotic back into the rotation, with moves key to the road victory. Rondo provided 20 points, seven rebounds, six assists and one steal over 36 minutes to help complement resurgent performances on the first unit from Butler and Wade, while Mirotic ended up topping the team in scoring on the night.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (8 - 6) defeated the Dallas Mavericks (9 - 5) 117 - 114 on Sunday. In a nail - biter of a game, the Thunder were able to prevail thanks to some late heroics. The Thunder ended the game on a 13 - 4 run and that proved to be the difference. Both teams shot exceptionally well in the game, as Dallas shot 53 percent while the Thunder shot 52 percent. The major difference was the free - throw shooting though, as the Thunder hit 78 percent of their free - throws while Dallas shot just 57 percent from the charity stripe. Dallas was one of the hottest teams in the league coming into this game and they nearly escaped with their seventh - straight win. They simply didn’t play enough defense throughout the game to hold off the Thunder though, as they allowed at least 27 points in every quarter. They were led by yet another double - double from Zaza Pachulia, who is proving to be one of the steals of the offseason. Deron Williams also had another nice game, as he tallied 20 points, six rebounds and six assists in the defeat. The Mavericks will try to start a new winning - streak on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Thunder had lost three of their last four games coming into this matchup, so the win was much needed. They got some serious help from their bench in this game, as three different players scored in double - digits. Oklahoma City was led by Russell Westbrook once again, as he totaled 31 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and five steals in the win. The return of Kevin Durant seems to be right around the corner as well, so things appear to be turning around for the Western Conference hopefuls.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 100 - 93, at Quicken Loans Arena on Sunday. More often than not, the trio of LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are essentially enough to overcome most opponents. It was a different story Sunday, however, as veteran Channing Frye actually led the way with a season - high 20 - point effort in 25 minutes off the bench. The aforementioned starters were n't necessarily underwhelming, as they combined for 55 points, including four total three - pointers from Love and James. Defense was also undeniably a factor, as Cleveland (8 - 1) held the Hornets (6 - 3) to 38 percent success rates from both the field and three - point range. The Hornets were led by Kemba Walker, who tallied 21 points, four assists, two rebounds and a steal. Marvin Williams posted 16 points, six rebounds and two assists. Nicolas Batum managed a near double - double with 15 points, nine boards, seven assists, two steals and a block. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist did get there, supplying 11 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal. Frye added three rebounds and three blocks to his team - high scoring total. A pair of 19 - point efforts from James and Irving paced the starting five, with the former also filling out the stat sheet with eight rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block and the latter dishing out four assists, posting three rebounds and recording a steal.

Shooting efficiency was the key to the Kings success, while also being the downfall of any Suns comeback in a loss to Sacramento on Wednesday. The Kings shot 51 percent from the field, led by strong shooting performances from starters like DeMarcus Cousins (6 - of - 10) and Rudy Gay (9 - of - 15), in addition to the bench, where six of the seven players who received minutes shot above the 50 percent mark, including Matt Barnes and Garrett Temple. The Suns, on the other hand, finished 25 percent from behind the arc and a lowly 67 percent from the charity stripe. While Phoenix was able to create from the field (47 percent overall as a unit), the efficiency from deep and the free - throw line resulted in multiple failed comeback efforts. An interesting note on rookie Dragan Bender for Phoenix stood out with his plus - minus of plus - 10, the highest amongst all Suns players on the night.

The Atlanta Hawks defeated the New York Knicks in quadruple overtime, 142 - 139, at Phillips Arena on Sunday. A game that started off with very little defense being played over the first two quarters ended up becoming much tighter over the third and fourth periods. After the Knicks (21 - 28) held a 65 - 61 lead going into halftime, the two teams combined for just 84 points in the second half. With four overtimes, there were plenty of opportunities for heroics, and Carmelo Anthony and Courtney Lee capitalized on three of them. Anthony's driving layup with two seconds left in regulation and 18 - footer with six ticks in the first overtime helped New York stay alive, while Lee's 26 - foot three - point jumper with one second on the clock in the second overtime sent matters into a third extra period. Dennis Schroder then turned the tables, draining a driving layup with three seconds remaining in the third overtime. Finally, it was Paul Millsap who put an end to the Knicks' first four - overtime tilt since 1951, pouring in a shot with 27 seconds remaining that gave Atlanta (28 - 20) a 141 - 139 lead they would n't relinquish. In all, four Knicks players, including Anthony, fouled out, while Millsap played a whopping 60 minutes. Anthony led the way for New York with a season - high 45 points, along with six rebounds, four assists and one block over 46 minutes, taking a whopping 36 shots in the process.

The Houston Rockets (21 - 19) defeated the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves (12 - 28) 107 - 104 on Wednesday atToyota Center. This game marked a close affair between two Western Conference teams. With nine seperate lead changes, each team had their chance to make a run and close the game out, but in the end, the Rockets came out victorious. In the fourth quarter, down by seven with a minute and a half left in the game, the Timberwolves did everything they could finish strong. A bucket by Kevin Martin and a pair of free throws from Karl Anthony-Towns brought them within three. After a missed shot by the Rockets, Martin had a chance to tie the ball game at 107, but missed a three - pointer at the buzzer to take the loss on the road. It was James Harden, though, that led the way for the Rockets on Wednesday. Harden started the game out strong, scoring 16 points in the first half alone. He went on to finish the night with a team - high of 27 points (8 - 22 FG, 2 - 10 3Pt, 9 - 11 FT), while also getting his teammates involved and adding 11 assists. The double - double marked his eighth of the season, while it was the sixth time he's recorded double - digit assists. Notching a double - double of his own was Dwight Howard. Howard has dealt with lingering back spasms this season, but did n't show any ill effects Wednesday and added 15 points (5 - 7 FG, 5 - 10 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocked shots. While the above duo played well, they also received some help off the bench, as Terrence Jones chipped in with 16 points (7 - 11 FG, 1 - 4 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and nine rebounds. It was Andrew Wiggins who did everything he could to keep the Timberwolves close. He struggled in the first half, recording just 10 points and one rebound, but he ended up exploding in the second half and finished the outing with 28 points (9 - 16 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 8 - 9 FT) and a pair of boards. The second - year guard out of Kansas has really stepped it up offensively of late and is averaging 27 points over his last four outings. December's Rookie of the Month, Karl Anthony-Towns, also saw some success against the tough defensive bigs of the Rockets. Towns recorded 12 points (4 - 10 FG, 1 - 1 3Pt, 3 - 4 fT) and 16 rebounds over 33 minutes of action. The 16 rebounds matched a season - high for the rookie. The Rockets' next game will be at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, while the Timberwolves will remain on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.

The Miami Heat (12 - 6) handily defeated the powerhouse Cleveland Cavaliers (13 - 7) on Saturday, winning 99 - 84. Cleveland star LeBron James was scratched from the lineup just a few hours before game time. Coach David Blatt told the media that he had to "force the issue" to get James to take the rest. The 30 - year - old superstar was coming off of a grueling overtime game in New Orleans the night before, so his absence is indicative of the team wanting to preserve their star's energy. Miami was able to capitalize on King James's absence, jumping out to a 12 - point lead by the end of the first quarter that they simply would not let go of. Things seemed to be firing on all cylinders for the Heat, as the team shot 54 percent from the field while holding their opponents to a measley 37 percent. Veteran Dwyane Wade and sophomore Tyler Johnson tied for the team lead in scoring, dropping in 19 points apiece. Meanwhile, center Hassan Whiteside, who was averaging a whopping 5 blocks per game coming into the matchup against the Cavaliers, continued his historic shot - blocking season, posting five blocks despite logging just 21 minutes. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, saw numerous underwhelming performances. All-star Kevin Love was held to just 2 - of - 11 from the floor, recording just five points. Shooting guard J.R. Smith also exhibited questionable shot selection at times, finishing just 4 - for - 12. Ultimately, it simply was not Cleveland's night. They will hope to fare better with a well - rested LeBron James as they take on the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. The Heat, on the other hand, will look to build upon the blowout of the Cavs. Their next matchup is at home on Monday against the Wizards.

The Toronto Raptors (23 - 15) defeated the Washington Wizards (15 - 19) 97 - 88 on Friday. If this keeps up, DeMar DeRozan's approval rating in Washington is going to sink faster than that of some politicans.The Raptors' shooting guard has been positively deadly against the Wizards this season, and particularly the last two games. Just eight days ago, he blasted Washington for 34 points, six rebounds, five assists, a pair of steals and a pair of blocks in Toronto. Friday, the nation's capital was the scene of the crime, with the 26 - year - old besting his prior effort by tallying 35 points, equaling his season high with eight rebounds, and adding an assist, a block and a steal. Factoring in his 20 - point outing in the season's initial meeting between the two teams back on Nov. 28, DeRozan has now averaged just under 30 points per contest against one of the worst defenses in the league versus shooting guards. Backcourt mate Kyle Lowry played second banana to DeRozan on this night, but still managed an impressive double - double. He totaled 21 points and added 10 boards, four assists, four steals and a block, with the only blemish being his six turnovers. Luis Scola was the only other starter whose points reached double figures, with the power forward posting 11 points and hauling in five rebounds. Corey Joseph led the reserves with eight points, four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block. The Raptors improved to 23 - 15 and remain atop the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They head to Philadelphia for a Saturday showdown with the Sixers. As customary, John Wall led the way for Washington with 21 points, four assists and three blocks. However, like his counterpart on the Raptors, he was a bit careless with the ball, committing seven turnovers. Otto Porter was next on the totem pole, collecting 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, a pair of steals and a block. Marcin Gortat, who along with Wall has been one of the main sources of offensive production during Bradley Beal's absence, was the only other starter with double - digit points. The Wizards' big man posted a 12 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that he supplemented with three assists and three blocks. Ramon Sessions put together one of his typically productive efforts off the bench to pace the Washington reserves, pouring in 14 points and adding four rebounds, an assist and a block. The Wizards fell to 15 - 19 and remain in last place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division. They head to Orlando for a Saturday afternoon showdown versus the Magic.

The Detroit two - guard came out on the better end of things Friday, as he tallied a team - high 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists and a pair of steals. Meanwhile, Williams could only muster seven points, two rebounds and two assists over a modest 22 minutes of action.

They head to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks in a Saturday night tilt. Marcus Morris was right behind Caldwell-Pope's scoring total for the Pistons, extending a recent stretch of impressive play with 20 points and seven rebounds. Andre Drummond followed closely behind with an 18 - point, 14 - rebound double - double that also included three blocks. Reggie Jackson was typically efficient, collecting 17 points, seven assists and six rebounds.

The host Golden State Warriors defeated the Phoenix Suns, 138 - 109, at Oracle Arena on Saturday. The Warriors came into this game as a monster favorite and they left very little doubt in who the better team was. Not only did they win all four quarters, they never relinquished the lead after the first quarter. Golden State were lights - out shooting, as they went 49 - of - 78 from the field and 14 - of - 21 from three - point range. Ball movement was key, as the Warriors assisted on 38 of their 49 made baskets. Many statistics were lopsided, as Golden State dominated the paint scoring, fastbreak points and points off turnovers. Phoenix (6 - 14) came in with a league - worst defense and they left feeling even more discouraged. Eric Bledsoe did continue his great run though, as he tallied 27 points, five rebounds, four assists and five steals in the defeat. Devin Booker was second on the team, scoring 21 points and dishing out five assists. No player on the team had more than five assists and no player reached double figures in rebounding. Brandon Knight led the bench in scoring, dropping 14 points in 22 minutes. Phoenix's next game is on Tuesday, when they play the Utah Jazz on the road.

Atlanta got off to a hot start, jumping out to a nine - point lead after the first quarter. The lead reached 19 points at the half, as the Hawks outscored Detroit 33 - 23 in the second quarter. Detroit was able to chip away at the deficit in third but still trailed by 15 entering the final period. The Pistons began the fourth on a 9 - 3 run spurred by back - to - back threes from Anthony Tolliver and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Atlanta responded, pushing the lad back to 14 points, but Caldwell-Pope answered back with seven consecutive points, and a pair of Greg Monroe free throws trimmed the deficit to just seven points with 2:35 remaining. Kyle Korver drilled a three - pointer to put the Hawks up 105 - 95 but Caldwell-Pope answered back again, converting back - to - back threes and brining Detroit back to within four. Following a DeMarre Carroll miss, the Pistons were unable to convert on the other end, and Atlanta controlled the rebound and salted the game away at the free throw line. The Hawks, who shot nearly 49 percent from the floor, placed all five starters in double - figures, paced by 19 points and 16 rebounds from Al Horford. Paul Millsap added 17 points, and Korver finished with 11 points (3 - 3 3Pt). Thabo Sefolosha added 12 points off the bench in 15 minutes.

With star center Joel Embiid still nursing a lingering knee bruise, the 76ers needed someone to step up in the frontcourt. Embiid's replacements, young centers Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel have, for the most part, failed to do so with each displaying their own glaring weaknesses. Over the last two games for Philadelphia, however, a different young frontcourt player has stepped up to the plate. First-year player Dario Saric played 28 minutes off the bench Wednesday, and each one of his 24 points and eight rebounds were necessary for the Sixers to end their five - game winning streak. Now, in his last two games, Saric has recorded a total of 44 points in 49 minutes while shooting a wildly impressive 16 - of - 26 (62 percent) from the field and 7 - of - 10 from behind the arc. He led the team in scoring both nights.

The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the visiting San Antonio Spurs, 111 - 97, to even the Western Conference semifinals in Game 4 on Sunday at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Oklahoma City used an outstanding fourth quarter to pull away from an overwhelmed Spurs squad. Kevin Durant, who lead all scorers with 41 points, was particularly pivotal in the final minutes, draining several baskets that continued to extend the Thunder's lead seemingly every time San Antonio appeared to be making some headway. Oklahoma City was outstanding on both ends of the floor throughout the game, as they managed a 51 percent success rate from the field, and 39 percent from three - point range. They also suffocated the Spurs' long - range attack, limiting them to just 17 percent shooting from beyond the arc. San Antonio received a trio of 20 - point - plus efforts from their starting five, spearheaded by Tony Parker's team - leading 22 points. He added three assists, a steal and a block. Kawhi Leonard was right behind him with 21 points, which he complemented with six rebounds, two assists and four steals. LaMarcus Aldridge tallied 20 points and six rebounds. Both Tim Duncan and Danny Green, the other two members of the first unit, went scoreless over 40 combined minutes, with the latter being the only one of the two who attempted any field goals.

The host New Orleans Pelicans handily defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, 105 - 88. New Orleans (7 - 12) has been able to turn its season around after a horrendous 1 - 9 start. The return of point guard Jrue Holiday has been an integral part of the Pelicans' recent success. Holiday scored 22 points and hit four of New Orleans' eight three - pointers on Tuesday. Of course, the biggest factor for the Pelicans was All-Star forward Anthony Davis, who scored 41 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. Davis is currently the league's leading scorer and an emerging candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, a case Davis furthered with four steals and two blocks on Tuesday. The outing was Davis's 11th game of 25 points and 10 rebounds on the season. Thanks in large part to Davis's dominance, it was an easy win for New Orleans, which hopped out to a 24 - point lead by halftime. Los Angeles (9 - 10), meanwhile, has been surprisingly hot to start the season but saw an unfortunate night on Tuesday. Veteran Nick Young was forced to exit the game and was diagnosed with an Achilles strain after just two minutes of play. Guard D'Angelo Russell continues to sit with an injury to his left knee. The Lakers consequently saw big minutes from their bench on Tuesday, with five bench players tallying over 20 minutes. Sixth man Lou Williams led the team with 16 points, while starter Julius Randle scored 12 and had 10 rebounds in just 22 minutes. The Lakers will visit the Bulls on Wednesday, while New Orleans will host the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday.

The Dallas Mavericks (24 - 19) defeated the visiting Boston Celtics (22 - 20) 118 - 113 in overtime at American Airlines Arena on Monday. The battle between two playoff caliber teams produced fireworks on Monday with a neck - and - neck second half and overtime period that eventually went in favor of the home town Mavericks. With :34 remaining in the 4th quarter, Jared Sullinger blocked Raymond Felton’s floater, resulting in a Jae Crowder fast break layup to take a one point lead. A pair of Dirk Nowitzki free throws and Deron Williams free throws followed on the next two possessions, giving Dallas a three point advantage with :15 left. Boston inbounded and worked the ball to Jae Crowder, who pulled up for a 3 - point shot and was fouled on his follow through by Raymond Felton. Felton writhed on the ground after what looked to be a vicious, yet accidental, eye poke. Crowder sank all three from the charity stripe, forcing overtime. The overtime period was dominated by Deron Williams, who scored 10 points, including back - to - back 3 - pointers and an assist to Dirk Nowitzki in the corner for a third straight trey. Williams hot hand resulted in 20 points (7 - of - 17 FG, 2 - of - 5 3PT, 4 - of - 4 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes. Nowitzki turned back the clock and led all scorers with 31 points, to go along with 11 rebounds. Wes Matthews helped the Mavs to get a solid first half lead with 15 points on 3 - of - 8 from behind the arc, but was mostly positioned in a defensive role down the stretch. The Mavericks will take a day off before hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves (13 - 29) on Wednesday. Brad Stevens continues to draw up crafty plays and facilitate a growing offense in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics produced six players in double figures, led by Isiah Thomas’ 20 points, four rebounds and seven assists. The 5’8” point guard sliced and diced his way through the Mavericks defense, often disappearing amongst the big men and either finishing at the rim or dishing it out to Avery Bradley behind the arc. Bradley scored 19 points on 4 - of - 8 shooting from deep, while Marcus Smart turned in an all around, stat stuffed performance with 20 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals.

The Sacramento Kings (5 - 2) were beaten by the injury - plagued Oklahoma City Thunder (2 - 5) 101 - 93 on Sunday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The Kings have been a pleasant surprise to this point in the 2014 season, but lost one on the road to a Thunder team who is dealing with all kinds of injury issues.

Cousins put up 16 points (7 - 15 FG, 2 - 5 FT), with seven rebounds, four steals, two blocks and an assist, but had some foul troubles. Gay was the Kings' leading scorer on Sunday though, and posted a double - double with 23 points (9 - 19 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT) and 10 rebounds. He also chipped in six assists with two steals as well. The Kings are going to be on the road Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks next. Not only are the Thunder without Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but they've been forced to sign players just to have enough bench players to feel confident about their depth. Their most recent signing was Ish Smith, who played eight minutes and scored seven points (2 - 2 FG, 3 - 3 FT) with one assist. The Thunder were led offensively by point guard Reggie Jackson, who scored 22 points (6 - 19 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 9 - 10 FT), to go along with six assists and two rebounds. The Thunder used as much firepower as they had to beat the Kings, with nine players getting in on the action. The return of Jeremy Lamb recently has been a welcomed one, as he scored 17 points (5 - 13 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT) with nine rebounds and four assists. The Thunder will head to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks on Tuesday night next.

This appeared to be a lopsided matchup on paper, but when LeBron James is taken out of that equation, the tables get turned. Detroit took care of business against the shorthanded Cavaliers too, as they won each individual quarter en route to a wire - to - wire win. Three-point shooting was the biggest factor for the Pistons, as they went 16 - of - 28 from long distance in the dominating win. The Cavaliers offense really struggled without James, as they went just 38 percent from the field and committed 21 turnovers in their loss. Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving did all they could though, as Love totaled 17 points and 14 rebounds, while Irving collected 18 points, five rebounds and eight assists. Tobias Harris continues to thrive in his new bench role, as he led the Pistons with 21 points, six rebounds and four assists. Andre Drummond was a force down low, accruing 11 points, 17 rebounds and four assists.

The Golden State Warriors (70) defeated the Sacramento Kings (1 - 6) 103 - 94 on Saturday. This game was much closer than most people would have anticipated, as the Warriors had their worst shooting night of the season. The still ended up prevailing with the victory despite shooting 8 - for - 39 from three - point range. The most notable stat line was a triple - double from Rajon Rondo, as he accumulated 14 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists and four steals in the loss. Both teams were playing the second half of a back - to - back and that really showed, as both the Kings and Warriors barely shot above 40 percent and committed 39 combined turnovers in what's usually a high - scoring matchup. The Warriors continued their raving success, despite MVP Steph Curry shooting 2 - for - 10 from long distance. He still managed to put up 24 points, six rebounds and three assists in the win despite the off shooting night. The key tonight for the Warriors was the defense, as they accumulated 13 steals and held the Kings to 44 percent shooting. Draymond Green also flirted with a triple - double, as he amassed 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in the victory. This team looks nearly unstoppable at this point and they'll look to stay undefeated in their next game against the Detroit Pistons on Monday. The Kings now fall to 0 - 5 without DeMarcus Cousins with this close loss to the NBA champs, but this may have been their best performance of the season. They appeared to have one of the worst defenses in the NBA coming into this matchup, but holding the Warriors to 103 points on 41 percent shooting is a win in its own right. Along with Rondo's triple - double, the Kings got matching 22 - point performances from Rudy Gay and Marco Belinelli. Even though it's a loss, this game can be something to build off of for this underperforming Kings squad. Sacramento's next game will be on Monday against the Spurs and they'll hope DeMarcus Cousins returns from his Achilles injury for that matchup.

The Golden State Warriors (3 - 2) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (2 - 3) ,104 - 91, on Sunday at the Oracle Arena to win Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Golden State's Stephen Curry has had some up - and - downs throughout this series, but he reminded everyone on Sunday why he was the league MVP this season. Curry's stat line of 37 points on 56 percent shooting, including 7 - for - 13 from three point range, and seven rebounds does n't fully do his performance justice. The timeliness and degree of difficulty with which Curry buried his shots changed Game 5 and swung the momentum in Golden State's favor. When LeBron James gave Cleveland a lead midway through the fourth quarter on a 34 - foot three pointer, Golden State needed an immediate answer with the game hanging in the balance. Curry delivered, canning a deep three pointer of his own the next time down the floor to reclaim the lead. The Cavaliers now face elimination and will look to extend the series with a win in Game 6 on Tuesday at the Quicken Loans Arena. History is on Golden State's side after Sunday's win, however, as the winner of Game 5 when the series is tied 2 - 2 in the Finals have gone on to win the series 71 percent of the time. Cleveland attempted to match Golden State's undersized lineup with a small lineup of its own, but could n't sustain that style of play for the full 48 minutes. Coach David Blatt played center Timofey Mozgov just nine minutes on Sunday after Mozgov went for 28 points and 10 rebounds in Game 4. LeBron James turned in another incredible effort Sunday with his second triple - double of the series and sixth of his career in the Finals. James finished with 40 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists over 45 minutes of action. Despite James' unbelievable game, the Cavaliers had trouble finding another viable option on offense. J.R Smith got off to a hot start with 14 points in the first half, but went scoreless in the final two quarters. The Cavaliers will need to hold serve at home on Tuesday to extend the series to a seventh game. Golden State traded punches with Cleveland for much of the game Sunday, but its play in the fourth quarter allowed it to pull away and capture a pivotal win. In addition to Curry's undeniable shooting, role players like Leandro Barbosa, Andre Iguodala, and Draymond Green all turned in solid all - around efforts. Those contributions helped Golden State win the rebounding battle and also hold Cleveland to just 40% shooting as a team. The Warriors are now poised to win their first championship in 40 years and will have home court advantage for the decisive Game 7 if necessary.

The Detroit Pistons (21 - 16) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (10 - 26) 103 - 89 on Saturday. The game featured a showdown between two of the more offensive - minded centers in the NBA, Brook Lopez and Andre Drummond. The two big men did not disappoint, with each tallying or equaling the highest score on their respective teams. However, the frontcourt undercard was n't bad either, as Thaddeus Young and Ersan Ilyasova waged a fascinating battle of their own down low. When all was said and done, the Detroit tandem was able to claim victory, as the Pistons outscored the Nets 60 - 48 in the paint, and outrebounded the visitors 47 - 38 as well. Lopez managed 19 points, seven rebounds, an assist and three blocks to lead the Nets' offensive charge. Joe Johnson followed with another double - digit scoring performance, pitching in 14 points, four rebounds and four assists. Young was just a rebound shy of a double - double with 12 points, nine boards and a steal. Shane Larkin was a bit lackluster again in another start at point guard, contributing eight points, three assists and a rebound. He was outperformed by backup Donald Sloan, who managed a double - double off the bench with 15 points, 10 rebounds and two rebounds over 24 minutes, and might be making progress towards securing the top job. Brooklyn fell to 10 - 26 and remains in fourth place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They head back home to face the Spurs on Monday night. The Pistons were co - led in scoring by Drummond and Reggie Jackson, who each managed 23 points.

The Wizards (17 - 18) came in to the contest with a superb 13 - 6 home mark, while the Timberwolves (11 - 25) had only mustered five wins in 17 tries on the road. This alone gave Washington a built - in edge going in, but Andrew Wiggins did his best to try and buck the odds Friday. The standout forward scored a game - high 41 points, which he supplemented with two assists, two steals and a rebound. However, the hosts countered with a balanced attack, as all five members of the first unit scored in double digits. Those efforts led to a stellar 58 percent success rate from the field, and a 55 percent mark from three - point range. A 32 - 20 edge in the fourth quarter propelled the Wizards to victory, after they'd entered the period facing an 85 - 82 deficit. Karl-Anthony Towns was a distant second on the Timberwolves with an 18 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that also included five assists, a steal and a block. Gorgui Dieng also accomplished the feat, posting 15 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals. Zach LaVine endured a difficult shooting night as his 3 - for - 14 tally led to an eight - point effort. He also hauled in five boards and dished out three assists.

Milwaukee led the whole way en route to their fourth win in five games. The Bucks came in averaging 110 points per game in their last three wins and almost reached that number again, which is surprising considering their offense was ranked bottom - five in the league for much of the season before the All-Star break.

In the first of four games in their season series, the Toronto Raptors (30) remained undefeated against the Milwaukee Bucks (0 - 3) at home. The Raptors, rallying around a well - rounded performance from All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry in which he posted 15 points, 7 assists, and four steals, were able to maintain a steady lead on the visting Bucks throughout the game. Toronto thrived on the defensive end, forcing their opponents to turn the ball over 18 times and holding them to just 26 percent shooting from beyond the three - point line. The Raptors, despite being a bottom - 10 defense in 2014 - 15, have allowed an average of just 96 points to opponents in their first three games. Against the Bucks, the Raptors were able to effectively limit outside shooting, making it difficult for Milwaukee, a team that sometimes struggles with spacing, to pile up points. Despite the loss, the Bucks were able to take away strong performances from some young up - and - coming players. Third-year forward Giannis Antetenkoumpo posted his second 20 - point performance in as many games, while also recording 9 rebounds and a block. Offseason addition Greg Monroe also impressed, putting up 14 points, six rebounds, five assists, and missing only two shots. However, as a team, Milwaukee struggled mightily from beyond the arc and had overall issues with efficiency, shooting just 42 percent from the field. While the Raptors will look to keep their good fortunes going on Tuesday in Dallas, Milwaukee will be in need of better luck. The Bucks will hope to snap a three - game losing streak as they travel to Brooklyn on Monday to face the Nets.

The New York Knicks defeated the Orlando Magic, 101 - 90, at Amway Center on Wednesday evening.
