The Memphis Grizzlies (22 - 19) defeated the Detroit Pistons (21 - 18) 103 - 101 at FedEx Forum on Thursday night. A wild fourth quarter made for an exciting finish in Memphis. The Grizzlies entered the fourth up by eight and even extended that lead to as many as 13 but Detroit did not flinch and quickly rallied back to take the lead, with seven minutes to go. The Pistons got up by as many as eight in the fourth but found themselves up 101 - 96 with three minutes left. From there until the end of the game Mario Chalmers was the only player to record any points, as he scored seven straight. First a lay up, then he got fouled on a three and hit all three free throws, tying the game at 101. Then after a steal by Matt Barnes, he managed to hit a wild jumper and was fouled, putting Memphis up 103 - 101 with .8 seconds on the clock and Chalmers at the line. Mario missed the free throw on purpose, in order to allow the clock to expire, improving the Grizzlies home record to 14 - 7. Matt Barnes was back in the line up after missing one game with a thumb contusion. Barnes' 18 points (6 - 7 FG, 6 - 6 3Pt), including sizzling 6 - 6 shooting from long range, three rebounds and two steals played an integral role in Memphis grinding out this victory. Mario Chalmers led all scorers, with 25 points (9 - 15 FG, 2 - 6 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT), along with eight assists, four steals and three rebounds, in 41 minutes. Chalmers started in place of Mike Conley, who missed his fifth game with a sore left achilles. Marc Gasol struggled shooting but still finished the game with 19 points (8 - 20 FG), five rebounds and four assists, in 37 minutes. Detroit had six players score in double digits. Stanley Johnson led the Pistons in scoring with 19 points (7 - 14 FG, 5 - 9 3Pt), along with five rebounds and two steals, in 25 minutes off the bench. Ersan Ilyasova had 17 points (6 - 13 FG, 3 - 5 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists, in 26 minutes, while Andre Drummond finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds, in 33 minutes. As a team the Pistons gave up 20 turnovers. The Pistons have now lost two in a row and will need to shape up quick before they fall out of the top eight in the East. The Pistons will be heading home to host the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. Another loss would put Detroit's position in the top eight in jeopardy. The Grizzlies will host the Knicks on Saturday.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the host Washington Wizards in overtime, 140 - 135, at Verizon Center on Monday. Best game of the season gets thrown around a lot in this racket far too often, but this overtime thriller certainly placed its name in the running.

Anthony Davis has had a rough start to January on the offensive end, putting together back - to - back performances where he has shut under 37 percent from the field and has scored just 20 points in each game after shooting over 50 percent in five straight games and averaging 26 points per game through the month of December. His rebounding efforts, however, have never been better. His 19 - rebound performance against a stout Atlanta backcourt on Thursday was his second best performance on the glass this season after he recorded 22 boards in late - December against the Heat. He has also now recorded 35 total rebounds in two games to start the new year and has posted at least 14 total rebounds in seven of his last eight outings. Davis' performance Thursday also marked the 15th time this season the big man has had at least 15 rebounds in a game.

The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Chicago Bulls, 108 - 97, at Bradley Center on Thursday. Although the final score would seem to indicate a fairly competitive contest, it belies the domination the Bucks (12 - 12) exercised over the Bulls (13 - 12) for most of the first three quarters. Milwaukee jumped out to a 30 - 18 lead after one quarter, had built up a 64 - 45 advantage by halftime, and held an 88 - 66 edge heading into the final 12 minutes. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker were too much for the Bulls, combining for 58 points. The hosts also shot 47 percent from the field and an outstanding 55 percent from three - point range, while eliciting 16 turnovers from their visitors as well. Jimmy Butler led the Bulls with 21 points, a total he supplemented with three assists, three rebounds and two steals. Dwyane Wade was next with 20 points, six assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block. Taj Gibson collected 19 points, four rebounds, an assist and a block. Robin Lopez (six points, six rebounds) and Rajon Rondo (five points, eight assists, five rebounds) were n't able to provide much on the scoreboard. Antetokounmpo led the way for Milwaukee with a stellar 30 - point, 14 - rebound double - double that also included three assists, three steals and a block. Parker was right behind with 28 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Matthew Dellavedova came within a hair of a double - double himself with nine points, nine assists and a rebound.

The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 107 - 99, at Phillips Arena on Saturday. A strong shooting night overall helped the Hornets (15 - 13) score an impressive road victory over their conference rival. Charlotte shot 49 percent from the field and 44 percent from three - point range, which helped them overcome some impressive performances from several members of the Hawks (13 - 14), including a 23 - rebound effort from Dwight Howard. Marco Belinelli and Marvin Williams were the somewhat surprising co - leaders in scoring on the night for the visitors with a pair of 19 - point tallies. Williams added six rebounds, two assists and a steal while pacing to his first unit - leading scoring haul. Kemba Walker returned from a one - game absence for personal reasons to post an 18 - point, 10 - assist double - double that also included six rebounds.

The Memphis Grizzlies (4 - 1) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (1 - 4) 99 - 93 on Wednesday at Fed Ex Forum Arena in Memphis during game five of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. After the Grizzlies got off to a 100 to start the game, the Trail Blazers quickly came back and evened the score at the completion of the first quarter. The Grizzlies then again took a lead into half, but the Trail Blazers returned the favor in the third quarter and brought it back to within two. With the game going back and forth all throughout the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies finally got some separation with about four minutes left in the game and never looked back to secure the six - point victory in front of their raucous home crowd. Despite shooting just 1 - of - 14 from the three - point line, the Grizzlies still had enough production from their stars to pull off the win. With Mike Conley out with an injury, it was the Grizzlies' frontcourt that had the pressure on their shoulders. They did n't disappoint, as Marc Gasol finished with 26 points (9 - 15 FG, 8 - 10 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocked shots, while Zach Randolph added 16 points (7 - 19 FG, 2 - 4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists. They did it on the defensive side of the ball as well though, limiting the Trail Blazers' frontcourt to a combined 24 points. The 14 rebounds from Gasol also helped the Grizzlies secure a huge 56 - 38 rebounding advantage over the Trail Blazers. Gasol has been one of the most consistent scorers throughout the playoffs thus far as well, as he boasts a 20 points per game average over five games. Courtney Lee was another player who did a fantastic job of making up for the loss of Conley in the backcourt. He went 8 - for - 12 from the field to score 20 points over 35 minutes. While they may have taken the loss, it was still a game to remember for the Blazers and CJ McCollum. McCollum went 12 - for - 20 from the field and 7 - for - 11 from the three - point line to score a career - high of 33 points. He actually surpassed his career - high even before the fourth quarter started, so it was even more impressive than originally thought. His performance broke a few records, as it was the first time in Blazers' history that a player hit seven three - pointers in a playoff game, while it was also the most bench points from a player so far in the 2015 NBA playoffs. Damian Lillard put his heart and soul into this game, but just could n't connect on enough shots to keep his Blazers ahead. He finished with 22 points (8 - 19 FG, 1 - 8 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT) and six rebounds, but he did have six turnovers, so it was n't the best performance for Lillard. In potentially his last game as a Blazer, LaMarcus Aldridge recorded just 14 points (5 - 18 FG, 4 - 5 FT) and nine rebounds before fouling out. It definitely was n't the way he'd hoped to go out as he'll now test free agency. The Grizzlies will head to Oracle Arena on Sunday, where they'll face off with the Golden State Warriors in game one of their second round series.

The Golden State Warriors (50) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (4 - 2) 101 - 86 in Game 1 of their second - round playoff series on Monday in Oracle Arena. The Warriors had full control of this game from start to finish. They were able to jump out to an early lead and never look back, proving to have just too much offensive firepower that the Grizzlies were just unable to keep up with. Stephen Curry lead the way scoring for Golden State, scoring 22 points (8 - 18 FG, 4 - 8 3Pt) to go along with seven assists and four steals in 38 minutes. His running - mate in the backcourt, Klay Thompson, was not far behind, scoring 18 points (8 - 16 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt) and dishing out six assists in 38 minutes. Draymond Green’s streak of four straight games with a double - double came to an end, but he was still able to manage 16 points (5 - 11 FG, 4 - 8 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in just 27 minutes. Harrison Barnes scored 11 points in 25 minutes, while Marreese Speights had 10 points in 13 minutes off the bench to round out the five Warriors players to score in double figures. As a team, the Warriors shot a fantastic 51 percent from the field and 46 percent from three while they recorded 26 assists on 39 made field goals to just 15 turnovers. For the Grizzlies, Marc Gasol lead the way scoring in the losing effort, putting up 21 points (5 - 10 FG, 11 - 12 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals in 28 minutes, while Zach Randolph was not far behind, scoring 20 points (9 - 15 FG), grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out 5 assists in 36 minutes. Tony Allen was the only other Memphis player to score in double figures, finishing with 15 points on 6 - of - 11 shooting in 38 minutes. Offensively, it is clear the Grizzlies miss Mike Conley Jr., who sat out with an eye injury, as Conley’s replacement in the starting lineup, Nick Calathes, scored zero points on 0 - for - 4 shooting and dished out just two assists in 21 minutes. If Memphis wants any chance at winning this series, it is appears that they’ll need Conley back as soon as possible. Game 2 between these two teams is scheduled go tip - off at 10:30 EST on Tuesday back in Oracle Arena in Oakland.

Both benches made minimal impact in Wednesday's Nuggets-Timberwolves game, as the starters led the way for both teams. All ten starters scored in double - digits, as both sides saw the game determined by their primary rotation. For Denver, forward Danilo Gallinari led the way with 18 points. Sophomore Nikola Jokic had an impressive near - triple - double, scoring 16 points to go with a team - high 11 assists and eight rebounds. Guard Gary Harris and forward Wilson Chandler each scored 17. The Nuggets hit over 51 percent of their shots and hit 10 three - pointers on the night.

LaVine scored 17, and Wiggins had a game - high 25 points. Big man Gorgui Dieng also impressed, scoring 20 points on 9 - of - 11 shooting.

The Washington Wizards (7 - 8) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (13 - 5) 97 - 85 on Tuesday, handing the Cavs their first home loss of the 2015 - 16 campaign. The Wizards had been mired in an offensive slump of epic proportions recently, having scored 87 points or less over their last three games. If they were going to pull off the near - unimaginable Tuesday by upsetting the undefeated Cavs in Quicken Loans Arena, they would need a resurgent performance from their offensive linchipin, John Wall. The All-Star's recent performances had served as a microcosm of the team's overall offensive struggles, with Wall having tallied 20 points or less in all 11 of Washington's November contests, and having scored in single digits twice over that span. However, the light went on for the Wizards' point guard on Tuesday, as he exploded for a season - high 35 points and added 10 assists, four rebounds and five steals. After shooting 36 percent or worse in four of his preceding five games, the 25 - year - old enjoyed a stellar night from the field, draining 14 buckets in 24 attempts (58 percent). If Wall can begin to put together more efforts of this caliber, the Wizards have an opportunity to climb out of their early - season hole and eventually grab an Eastern Conference playoff spot. Wall's backcourt mate Bradley Beal posted his fifth consecutive game with double - digit points to support the offensive cause, amassing 18 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Marcin Gortat pitched in with his second consecutive double - double and third in four games, totaling an impressive 15 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and a steal versus a Cleveland defense that had come into Tuesday yielding the second - least points and the least amount of rebounds per game to opposing centers. Jared Dudley fared better in his second start at power forward, collecting 12 points, three assists and a pair of rebounds, after only totaling seven points on Saturday versus the Raptors. Otto Porter (six points, five rebounds, two assists, one block) was the only Washington starter in single digits, while Garrett Temple paced the reserves with seven points and five rebounds over 28 minutes. The Wizards improved to 7 - 8 but still reside in last place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division. They head home to face the Lakers on Wednesday. LeBron James unsurprisingly led the Cavs in every offensive category, but Tuesday was a night where that simply was not enough. A key factor was the lack of support from James' season - long wing man in Kyrie Irving's absence, Kevin Love. While James was able to put together one of his typically stellar outings (24 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, a block and a steal), Love could only muster eight points, eight rebounds and a steal over 33 minutes. The fact that the Wizards had come in to Tuesday's game giving up the fifth - most points per game to opposing power forwards (22) made Love's final stat line all the more disappointing. J.R. Smith (13 points) and Mo Williams (12 points) did their best to contribute, but Smith in particular suffered through a third consecutive sub - par shooting night (3 - for - 14). Matthew Delladedova paced the Cavs' bench with a 15 - point effort over 27 minutes. Cleveland fell to 13 - 5 but still retains sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference's Central Division. They head to New Orleans to face the Pelicans on Friday.

The Detroit Pistons (31 - 29) rolled past the Toronto Raptors (39 - 19) Sunday at the Palace of Auburn Hills, 114 - 101. The Raptors led for much of the first half and the two teams went into the break tied at 52. But the Pistons caught fire in the third quarter as they scored 37 points in the frame and entered the fourth quarter with an insurmountable 17 - point lead. The Pistons would extend their lead as far as 26 before stepping off the gas in the final period. All five Pistons starters finished in double - figures as Detroit presented a balanced attack. Reggie Jackson led the way with 19 points (7 - 12 FG) and added eight assists, and Andre Drummond notched his 14th straight double - double with 15 points and 18 rebounds. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added an efficient 16 points (7 - 10 FG) and Tobias Harris and Marcus Morris poured in 14 points apiece. The Pistons shot an absurdly efficient 58 percent from the floor and 52 percent (12 - 23) from three - point land as their offense was too much for the Raptors to handle. Terrence Ross scored 27 points (10 - 19 FG, 4 - 7 3PT) off the bench for the Raptors to lead all scorers. DeMar Deroan added 20 (9 - 21 FG) and seven assists, but no other Raptors player managed more than 13 points. But the issue here was defense; Toronto shot a robust 49 percent from the floor, 10 - 21 (48 percent) from three, and managed 21 assists against five turnovers. They just could n't do anything to stop Detroit's offensive attack, and they could n't shoot the way out of the hole they dug in the third quarter. The Raptors return home for a Wednesday matchup against the Jazz. The Pistons begin a road trip Wednesday with a game in San Antonio.

The Atlanta Hawks (18 - 7) went on the road and made a statement, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers (14 - 10) 127 - 98 on Wednesday. Atlanta came into this game as one of the hottest teams in the NBA, and it showed on Wednesday, as they put on a show while dominating LeBron James and the Cavaliers. What made this even more impressive is that the team was without Jeff Teague (hamstring), so Dennis Schroder earned the start. Schroder did a nice job running the offense, and in just 22 minutes, he had 10 points (4 - 6 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT), with 10 assists. The most surprising showing though, had to be from Shelvin Mack off the bench, who racked up 23 minutes and scored an impressive 24 points (7 - 8 FG, 6 - 6 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT), with three assists and two rebounds. Atlanta showed up across the board, with eight players scoring at least nine points in an impressive win. For the Cavaliers, it was just a struggle. James scored well, with 21 points (8 - 16 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT), but had only three rebounds, two assists and two steals. It was a pretty quiet game for the superstar. Dion Waiters had a nice night off the bench, scoring 21 points (9 - 18 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) to go with four assists and three rebounds in 27 minutes. Kevin Love was slowed by an illness, but played through it to get a double - double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. No other Cavaliers player topped 10 points.

The San Antonio Spurs (55 - 27) defeated the Los Angeles Clippers (56 - 26) 111 - 107 in overtime of game three of the Western Conference playoffs on Wednesday. The Spurs have no problem implementing Hack-A-Shaq if they are n't confident in an opposing player's ability to hit free throws. So it was no surprise that DeAndre Jordan, a career 42 percent free throw shooter, shot 17 free throws before the end of regulation in game two. Despite knocking down just six of his attempts, the Clippers were able to come back and force overtime, after being down by ten in the fourth quarter. The game was tied at 92 with under a minute to play when Patty Mills fouled Chris Paul and Paul knocked down two free throws to put the Clippers up 94 - 92. Paul then fouled Mills on the other end and Mills returned the favor and put in two free throws of his own. With the victory San Antonio wil now head home with a 1 - 1 series in their favor in terms of home court advantage. This series between the Clippers and Spurs is the now the only one that a sweep is no longer a possibility, now that two games have been completed in each matchup. Tim Duncan followed up a disappointing game one with 28 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals. Blake Griffin and J.J. Reddick won the battle of minutes in this iron man match, they each played a game - high 47. Griffin recorded a triple - double with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. He also had five turnovers. The Spurs as a team only had nine. Reddick went 4 - for - 9 from long distance and finished with 16 points.

The resurgence of Larry Sanders continues as he had a season - high 15 points (7 - 10 FG, 1 - 1 FT) to go with seven rebounds and five blocks.

The host Detroit Pistons blew out the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, 118 - 95. Detroit (20 - 24) overcame inconsistent play and a sub - par bench performance for a blowout win against Atlanta. While finding production from their bench has been an issue for the Pistons throughout the season, the starting five was able to more than make up for it on Wednesday. Every starter scored at least 13, and the starting five helped lead a 42 - point first quarter that established an almost insurmountable lead for the Pistons. Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson led the team with 26 points on 50 percent shooting, while All-Star Andre Drummond crashed the glass for 17 rebounds. Altogether, Detroit showed very little weakness in the crushing win, shooting almost 50 percent and holding a 60 - 32 advantage in the rebounding column. The Hawks (24 - 18) had seen hot play in recent weeks but struggled severely on Tuesday. The team shot under 39 percent from the floor and was absolutely demolished on the boards. One area in which the Hawks struggled was three - point shooting, where the team went just 6 - of - 25 from the field. Atlanta was also unable to match up with Detroit's powerful starting five, as the Hawks' own starters looked shaky at best. Two starters combined for just four points and the starting five as a whole committed eight turnovers on the night. The Pistons will host the Wizards on Saturday while the Hawks will face the Bulls on Friday.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (3 - 1) defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (0 - 3) 107 - 100 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Monday. It wasn’t easy going for the Cavaliers against one of the worst teams in the NBA, as they quickly fell behind 32 - 18 to the Sixers after one quarter. However, on the coattails of LeBron James, Cleveland didn’t panic and came back strong, outscoring Philadelphia 64 - 40 over the next two quarters. James finished with a team - high 22 points (9 - 19 FG) and fell one rebound shy of a triple double, dishing out 11 assists and grabbing nine boards in 33 minutes. Mo Williams also was effective and continues to fill in nicely for Kyrie Irving, as the veteran point guard recorded 21 points in 28 minutes on 8 - of - 10 shooting from the field. J.R. Smith left Monday’s game after just five minutes with a right knee contusion, and as a result, Matthew Dellavedova saw more playing time off the bench and finished with 12 points (5 - 8 FG) and nine assists in 34 minutes. For the 76ers, Jahlil Okafor was once again efficient on offense, scoring a game - high 24 points (11 - 21 FG), but managed to grab just three rebounds in 27 minutes. Okafor’s partner in the frontcourt Nerlens Noel scored 14 points (7 - 13 FG), grabbed eight rebounds, and blocked three shots in 33 minutes. However, the surprise performance of the game came from backup rookie point guard T.J. McConnell, who played 23 minutes off the bench and recorded six points (3 - 4 FG), 12 assists and seven rebounds in the losing effort. Up next, the Cavaliers will head home Wednesday to take on the Knicks, while the 76ers will travel to Milwaukee on Wednesday to play the Bucks.

The Indiana Pacers defeated the Miami Heat, 102 - 98, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Sunday. In a battle between two teams battling for a playoff spot in the east, Indiana were able to prevail with a much needed victory. They led for the majority of this game, as Miami never led by more than four points and only held the lead for a total of five minutes. Free-throw shooting was the decisive statistic, with Indiana going 27 - of - 32 from the charity stripe, while Miami could only go 11 - of - 16. Fastbreak points was also a glaring difference, with the Pacers winning that battle, 160. The Heat (32 - 35) had to play this game without Goran Dragic (eye), as they simply did n't have enough bullets to beat this hungry Pacers team. Hassan Whiteside did all he could for Miami, as he totaled 26 points and 21 rebounds in the defeat. Dion Waiters was the only other starter in double figures, as he collected 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Wayne Ellington led the bench, as he dropped 19 points on 7 - of - 13 shooting.

The New Orleans Pelicans (13 - 26) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (18 - 21) 109 - 107 on Friday night at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. This was a close game the whole way, going back and forth with 14 lead changes and 12 ties. After Kemba Walker tied it up at 107 with 2 seconds left, the Pelicans called time out to set themselves up with a side inbound. The ball was inbounded to Jrue Holiday who ran a quick pick and roll with Anthony Davis. Holiday threw a perfect alley - oop pass to Davis who converted the play and sealed the win for the Pelicans. The Pelicans snapped a three - game home losing streak and gave Charlotte its ninth straight road loss. New Orleans has now won both its games since Anthony Davis returned to the lineup last Wednesday. Davis contributed a solid 22 points (8 - 14 FG, 6 - 7 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocked shots and one steal. Ryan Anderson was the hero though, as he finished with a game - high 32 points, (12 - 19 FG, 6 - 8 3Pt, 2 - 2 FT) and eight rebounds, in 28 minutes off the bench. Jrue Holiday chipped in 13 points (6 - 14 FG), 10 assists and six rebounds, in 27 minutes off the bench. Tyreke Evans was back in the lineup after missing games with a sore knee. He finished with 12 points and seven assists, in 26 minutes. The Hornets are now 4 - 14 on the road as their struggles continue. Kemba Walker did everything he could in this one, finishing with 25 points (9 - 17 FG, 5 - 7 3Pt), four assists and four rebounds, in 41 minutes. Nicolas Batum also poured in 25 (11 - 22 FG, 2 - 9 3Pt), along with eight assists and four rebounds, in 40 minutes. Frank Kaminsky had a good game with 18 points (7 - 9 FG, 2 - 2 3Pt) and six rebounds, in 24 minutes off the bench. Charlotte still has a chance to turn things around as their strong start to the season gave them a bit of a cushion; they are only 3 games out of eighth in the East. Next the Hornets host the Bucks on Saturday, which will be the second of a back to back for both teams. The Pelicans will visit Memphis to play the Grizzlies on Monday.

The Philadelphia 76ers (6 - 29) defeated the Indiana Pacers (15 - 23), 93 - 92, in a back - and - forth affair Saturday. Facing a six - point deficit at halftime, the Sixers set themselves up for victory by outscoring the Pacers, 29 - 21, in the third quarter, and Michael Carter-Williams brushed off a poor shooting night, driving for a layup with nine seconds remaining for the game winner. Putting his 6 - for - 17 performance from the field aside, he posted 15 points, nine assists, five rebounds, and one block. Tony Wroten nearly matched Carter-Williams off the bench, recording 20 points (6 - 17 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 6 - 7 FT), nine dimes, four rebounds, and two steals. Prior to the opening tip, coach Brett Brown exchanged Henry Sims for K.J. McDaniels in the starting five, and the latter responded with a modest 10 points, three rebounds, two blocks, and one assist in 33 minutes. The Sixers will next take the court Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Meanwhile, the Pacers' bottom - tier offense upheld the standard set this season, hitting only 33 percent from the field, including a disastrous 4 - for - 18 from three - point range. David West led the way with 28 points and nine rebounds, but after putting his side ahead with a 12 - foot jumper with 18 seconds remaining, his evening ended with a missed 13 - footer as the final horn sounded. His frontcourt mate, Roy Hibbert, only garnered 19 minutes one night removed from logging 35 on a sprained ankle. The reduced run did n't afflict his output, though, as he accrued seven points, 13 rebounds, and two blocks. On the injury front, C.J. Miles left for good after suffering an eye abrasion with 42 seconds left in the first quarter, which allowed starting shooting guard Rodney Stuckey to pick up more minutes (35) than his typical 27 per game. As the Pacers return to Indiana for Tuesday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks, George Hill will attempt to return from a six - game absence due to a sore left groin.

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 124 - 104 at American Airlines Center on Wednesday. After falling behind early to the Mavericks (2 - 11), the Clippers (13 - 2) quickly kicked it into high gear as they maintained their best record in the NBA. Following a dominate second - quarter performance, Los Angeles, and their 23 - point lead heading into halftime, proved to be too much for Dallas. The Clippers starters all played 26 minutes or less after resting in the fourth quarter, so it was Austin Rivers off the bench who led the team in scoring, as he posted an efficient 22 points in 26 minutes. Chris Paul led the starters with 18 points and four assists, while DeAndre Jordan was n't far behind, recording 16 points and a team - high eight rebounds. For the Mavericks, it was the return of star power forward Dirk Nowitzki to the starting lineup after the German missed the last eight games due to an Achilles tendon injury. Prior to the game, head coach Rick Carlisle said Nowitzki would be on a strict minutes restriction, but he still managed to play 20 minutes, scoring 10 points and grabbing six rebounds in that time. Harrison Barnes led the way for the Mavericks as he returned to his regular spot as the team's starting small forward, scoring 22 points on 10 - of - 19 shooting in 30 minutes.

The Phoenix Suns (14 - 31) defeated the Atlanta Hawks (26 - 19) 98 - 95 on Saturday night. This was expected to be a high - scoring game, but the two offenses really struggled with both rosters being extremely shorthanded. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good game though, as the action in the closing minutes was just fantastic. Archie Goodwin was the hero, as he hit the game - winning three with less than a second to go. What won the game for the Suns was the rebounding though, as they snatched down 52 boards to the Hawks 43. Both teams shot 40 percent from the field and took a combined 58 three - pointers. Atlanta actually came into this game as a double - digit favorite, so it ended up being quite the upset. The Atlanta Hawks had to play this game without Paul Millsap and it's obvious with this result how important he is to this team. Atlanta struggled mightily on the offensive end of the floor, as the post players for the Suns dominated this game. Kent Bazemore kept his team in it with some huge shots late and finished with 21 points and six rebounds. Al Horford had a nice all - around game as well, as he tallied nine points, 16 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in the defeat. Dennis Schroder once again played down the stretch and scored 16 points with Jeff Teague's continuing to struggle. The Hawks will look to play better in their next game on Monday against the Denver Nuggets. The Suns played with some fire here for the first time in quite a while and the future is bright even though the present is dark. This was only their second win in their last 16 games, and it was easily their best defensive performance. Tyson Chandler was just a monster down low, as he snatched 17 rebounds in the first half alone. Chandler finished the game with 13 points, 27 rebounds and five assists in a spectacular performance. All the starters played well here, as all five players scored in double - figures and combined for 84 points. Archie Goodwin led the team with 24 points and has been filling in brilliantly for Brandon Knight, who is dealing with an abductor strain. Alex Len was a beast down low as well, as he amassed 16 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. Phoenix will look to build on this win when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers in their next game on Tuesday.

The Denver Nuggets (6 - 7) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (3 - 11) 101 - 94 in overtime Sunday. Denver has won four straight games and five of their last six.

Ty Lawson paced the Nuggets with a double - double of 18 points and 16 assists. Danilo Gallinari played a season - high 31 minutes, which is significant as he is still making his bid for a full return from knee surgery. He tied the game with 15 seconds left on the first of two free throws but then missed the second free throw, which pushed the game to overtime. The Nuggets return home to host the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday. Los Angeles has lost two straight games. They shot a woeful 37 percent from the field and 13 percent from beyond the arc Sunday.

The Indiana Pacers demolished the visiting Brooklyn Nets, 118 - 97, at Bankers Life Field House on Friday.

The Pacers hopped out to a 15 - point halftime lead which reached 27 by the end of the third quarter. Guard Glenn Robinson III stepped into the starting lineup in George's absence and impressed, playing 40 minutes while no other Pacer saw more than 26.

Overall, the Pacers saw brilliant offense, shooting over 55 percent from the field and knocking down 11 three - pointers. On defense, sophomore center Myles Turner stepped up and delivered four blocks and a steal. Brooklyn (4 - 11) started a highly promising 4 - 5 after many projections had them finishing near the bottom of the league. The team seems to be slowing down, however, as Friday's loss marked their sixth straight. Point guard Jeremy Lin remains out with a hamstring injury, forcing rookie Isaiah Whitehead into the starting lineup. Whitehead scored just four points on 1 - of - 5 shooting on Friday.

The Cavaliers (24 - 20) routed the Hornets (18 - 26) 129 - 90 on Friday in Cleveland.

Kemba Walker shot just 4 - of - 17, yet led the Hornets scoring attack with a team - high 15 points in Wednesday's low - scoring affair. He missed the last two games with a knee injury but felt good in shootaround and gave it a go. Walker also shot 5 - of - 6 from the free - throw line, all six attempts came in the final 1:14 and helped seal the win for Charlotte. 22 year - old Bismack Biyombo has had a good five - game stretch, averaging 11 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks in less than 27 minutes per game. Biyombo came down with eight offensive rebounds Wednesday, helping his team to win the battle of the boards 56 - 41. He combined with teammate's Cody Zeller and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for 38 of those rebounds. Two of Charlotte's biggest stars, Al Jefferson (groin) and Lance Stephenson (pelvis) have been coming off the bench since returning from injuries. Jefferson had 12 points and two blocks in 19 minutes, while Stephenson had four assists and three rebounds in 22 minutes. The Heat were playing from behind for most of this game until Mario Chalmers hit a three - pointer to give them the lead with 3:36 left in the fourth. However, it would be their last lead of the game as Kemba Walker and Marvin Williams hit some key free throws down the stretch. In the final 12, Chalmers and Chris Bosh each missed three - pointers that likely would have won the game for Miami. Chris Andersen started in place of the injured Hassan Whiteside, who sprained his ankle Tuesday against the Thunder. Andersen had four rebounds and three blocks in 20 minutes.

Win or lose, Anthony Davis has been posting historic numbers left and right this season. On Tuesday, that translated into 45 points and 10 rebounds en route to a shattering blowout of the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves. The game marked Davis's third 45 - point outing in just 16 this season, a league - high. It was also Davis's eighth double - double of the season. Davis has now scored 38 or more points in three of his last four comments, only failing to do so in a blowout in which he sat due to a minor injury. Thanks in large part to Davis's 63 percent shooting from the field, the Pelicans were able to hit over 54 percent of their shot attempts. Forward Terrence Jones did his part as well, scoring 17 points on 70 percent shooting. On Minnesota's side, the picture was considerably grimmer. Star big man Karl Towns was held to just nine points, while the team's leading season scorer, Andrew Wiggins, had just 13. Minnesota hit just 38 percent of shots from the field and 17 percent from beyond the arc.

The Wizards held a 108 - 101 lead with 2:23 remaining when Minnesota began to chip away at their deficit. A quick 50 run by the Timberwolves got them within two, and after a Nene Hilario free throw, Gorgui Dieng managed to tie the game with a 24 - foot three - pointer with 19 seconds remaining. Bradley Beal's missed three - pointer with a second left sent the game into the first overtime in a 109 - 109 deadlock.

Beal missed a second game - winning trey at the buzzer, as the two teams lived on to play past the 60 - minute mark. The second overtime period saw Minnesota score the last four points of the game over the final 43 seconds, as Jared Dudley missed a pair of three - pointers and Marcin Gortat was unable to drain either of his two free - throw attempts for the Wizards over that span.

The Memphis Grizzlies (40 - 14) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers (36 - 19) 98 - 92 on Sunday. The Trail Blazers were without LaMarcus Aldridge (sprained thumb), putting them at a disadvantage from the outset. Meyers Leonard stepped into the starting lineup in Aldridge's place and did his best to replace the 23 points Portland needed to make up without Aldridge. Leonard scored 11 points in 17 minutes. He has been encouraged to use his face - up game this season, and it's resulted in Leonard extending his range beyond the three - point line, where he converted three of his five attempts from Sunday, a number which may have been higher had he not collected five fouls to limit his time on the court. The newly - acquired Arron Afflalo made his debut with the Blazers, playing 24 minutes off the bench and putting up eight points and four rebounds. Memphis had all five starters finish with double - digit points to help them collect the win in their first game back from the All-Star break. Marc Gasol was questionable for the game with an illness but was able to play through it to score a team - high 21 points in 36 minutes. Portland remains 5 games back from Memphis in the Western Conference standings. The Grizzlies are in second place, and the Blazers sit in fourth place, with Houston resting between them in third, one game ahead of Portland.

He has averaged five assists over his past five games, while shooting 91 percent from the free throw line during that stretch, which is n't an easy feat for one of the game's few true centers. The Grizzlies are now 11 - 1 over their last 12 games, and only have one game against an opponent with a record better than .500 before the All-Star break. Isaiah Thomas led the Suns in scoring, putting up 24 points to give Phoenix a spark off the bench. Eric Bledsoe turned in a good game with 21 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, four steals and two blocks. He hit two free throws to give the Suns a 98 - 91 lead with 3:31 remaining in the game.

The Grizzlies will play the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, and the Suns will head to the Moda Center to face the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.

This result put the Raptors and Hornets at an even 6 - 2 record and these are two teams that will be in it for the long haul. DeMar DeRozan's 34 points marked the seventh game this season in which DeRozan has scored at least 32 points. Kyle Lowry is n't quite scoring like he'd hope, but he continues to stuff the stat sheet with his 19 - point, eight - rebound and six - assist outing in this win. Kemba Walker's 40 points marks a season - high, along with his 10 rebounds. The Hornets actually had three players finish with a double - double for the first time all season.

The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Orlando Magic, 109 - 102, at Amway Center on Wednesday night. The Hornets (32 - 39) came into Wednesday's contest looking to keep their faint playoff hopes alive and to complete a season sweep of the Magic (26 - 46). Given that they'd blasted Orlando by 40 points in their most recent meeting, it appeared the chances for another win were high. The hosts had other plans, though, as they jumped out to a 54 - 48 halftime lead. However, led by a superb bench effort from Marco Belinelli and an equally impressive one from Kemba Walker, Charlotte outscored the Magic by a 32 - 20 margin in the fourth quarter to post their third consecutive win. Walker led the way for the Hornets with 22 points, seven assists and three rebounds. Belinelli followed with a second unit - leading 20 points, which he supplemented with three rebounds, one assist and one steal.

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the host Sacramento Kings on Friday, 106 - 98. Los Angeles (25 - 14) enjoyed the return of superstar point guard Chris Paul, who had missed the previous week of action with a hamstring injury. Paul immediately got back to his pass - first play style, dishing out a team - high 12 assists to go with 14 points and three steals. DeAndre Jordan, who narrowly edged out Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins last season for All-NBA First Team center, had an impressive performance of his own, scoring 20 points on 9 - of - 10 shooting and grabbing nine rebounds. As a team, the Clippers saw relatively potent offense, shooting over 46 percent and hitting 13 three - pointers. Sacramento (15 - 21), meanwhile, is vying for the eighth seed in the Western Conference, hoping for its first playoff berth since 2006. The Kings came out strong on Friday, hopping out to a double - digit lead in the first quarter, but saw an intense collapse in the second. LA was able to go on a whopping 34 - 12 run in the second quarter, establishing a lead that eventually led them to victory. The collapse was largely due to the horrid play of the Kings' bench, as the second unit shot just 6 - of - 20 for 14 points. Sacramento's starters, on the other hand, saw solid performances. Star center DeMarcus Cousins led the team with 25 points and 11 rebounds to go with seven assists, three steals, and two blocks. Los Angeles will host the Heat on Sunday, while Sacramento will host the Warriors.

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 124 - 116, at Quicken Loans Arena on Friday. The Cavaliers (31 - 14) checked in to Friday desperate to snap out of a three - game losing streak, and appeared to have the right opponent to do it with. The Nets (9 - 37) came in with only two road victories in 22 contests away from Barclays Center, and also opted to rest Brook Lopez and rookie Caris LeVert against Cleveland. Starting power forward Trevor Booker was also absent due to illness, seemingly making a victory a proverbial slam dunk for the defending champs. However, Brooklyn certainly did n't adopt a defeatist mentality, going into halftime with only a 55 - 47 deficit. Although the Cavs pulled away in a 39 - point third period, the Nets put up a valiant effort overall, seeing six players record double - digit scoring, shooting 49 percent from the field and 49 percent from three - point range, and prompting Cleveland into 14 turnovers. Sean Kilpatrick led the way for the visitors with 18 points, three assists, two rebounds and two steals. Bojan Bogdanovic followed with 17 points, three assists, two rebound and a steal. Randy Foye and Isaiah Whitehead supplied matching 16 - point efforts, with the former adding eight boards and five assists and the latter providing three rebounds and three assists. Justin Hamilton went for 12 points, five rebounds, a steal and a block while taking over at center for Lopez, and Spencer Dinwiddie tallied 10 points, one rebound and one assist.

Kyle Korver totaled 14 points to lead the bench, a total he supplemented with two boards. Kevin Love registered a 13 - point, 14 - rebound double - double and added two assists, a steal and a block. Tristan Thompson posted a 10 - point, 10 - rebound double - double that also included two assists and a block.

The San Antonio Spurs (29 - 17) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks (22 - 22) 101 - 95 on Sunday at the AT & T Center in San Antonio. Despite a strong first half where the Bucks out - scored the Spurs 55 - 47, they were n't able to hold off the reigning NBA champion Spurs in the secondf, suffering a tough six - point loss on the road. While the Bucks shot better from field and the three - point line, they were dominated at the free throw line where the Spurs went 26 - for - 30 and the Bucks finished just 9 - for - 13. The Bucks also committed 21 turnovers, which may have been another big difference in this game. The Spurs had a strong showing from their frontcourt, as forwards Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard were the team - leaders in both points and rebounds. In 31 minutes, Duncan finished with 20 points (9 - 13 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and 11 rebounds, while Leonard had 19 points (4 - 11 FG, 1 - 5 3Pt, 10 - 12 FT) and 14 rebounds in 36 minutes. It was Leonard's third double - double in his last four games, recording at least 14 rebounds in each of those matchups. Tony Parker really struggled with his shot for the Spurs (3 - 13 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 4 - 4 FT), but still contributed 10 points and five assists. He's now averaging 15 points and 5 assists on the season. The Spurs did find some production off their bench, with two players finishing in double figures in points. Boris Diaw had 14 points (7 - 11 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt) and three rebounds, while Manu Ginobili finished with 13 points (3 - 8 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 6 - 8 FT) and three assists. Despite the loss, Kris Middleton played well, going 9 - for - 14 from the field and 3 - for - 5 from the three - point line to finish with 21 points and five rebounds as a starter at shooting guard. He's had two strong showings in a row, combining for 37 points, 12 rebounds and four steals over that span. Jerryd Bayless played very well off the bench for the Bucks. In 22 minutes, he added 15 points (5 - 10 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 5 - 7 FT) and five assists, as he was very efficient with his time on the court. Bayless had n't scored in double figures since the beginning of January, so it was good to see him turn things around on the offensive side of the ball and play well against a tough Spurs team. Zaza Puchulia added 12 points (5 - 11 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and six rebounds in 24 minutes, while Ersan Ilyasova finished with 11 points (4 - 8 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT) and six rebounds in just over 22 minutes. The Spurs' next game will be at home against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, while the Bucks will travel to Miami to play the Heat on Tuesday.

The Atlanta Hawks (30 - 8) easily handled the Philadelphia 76ers (7 - 30) on Tuesday, 105 - 87. Despite trotting out a less than optimum starting lineup, Atlanta cruised to an easy victory in Philadelphia. Al Horford led the way with his first career triple - double as he torched Philadelphia for 21 points, 10 rebounds, and ten assists. Over the course of his career, The Hawks are 46 - 14 when Horford has 20 points and 10 rebounds in a game. Atlanta rested three of its usual starters on Tuesday so that Jeff Teague, Paul Millsap, and DeMarre Carroll could be fresh for Wednesday's game in Boston. The Hawks' reserves thrived, however, with big performances from Kent Bazemore, Denis Schroder, and even a double - double from Shelvin Mack. Atlanta has now won 23 of its last 25 games, including a franchise - record nine straight road wins. Philadelphia kept the game competitive early on, but was unable to keep up with the red - hot Hawks. Guard Tony Wroten left the game in the fourth quarter with a right knee sprain and did not return.

The Dallas Mavericks (23 - 18) defeated the Chicago Bulls (23 - 16) 83 - 77 on Friday. The effects of four games in five nights finally started to show on the Bulls in the second half.

They jumped out to a 46 - 36 lead by halftime, but it was a different story after intermission. An exhausted Chicago squad could only manage 31 total points in the second half, and two double - digit scorers over the entire game.

The Grizzlies star scored a career - high 42 points, shooting 14 - of - 25 and 5 - of - 10 from three - point range. Gasol posted just seven rebounds, but his lack of emphasis on the boards was supplemented by strong output from veteran guard Tony Allen. Allen posted 15 points and 11 rebounds to go with two blocks on the night. Every Memphis starter played at least 35 minutes, as the banged - up Grizz only put eight players on the floor all night. The Raptors, meanwhile, saw veteran point guard Kyle Lowry lead the way with 29 points and eight assists. Young wing Norman Powell scored 21 while filling in for an injured DeMar DeRozan.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (43 - 17) defeated the Washington Wizards (30 - 31) 108 - 83 on Friday. Despite opting to give star forward Kevin Love the day off for rest purposes, the Cavs encountered surprisingly little difficulty in pulling away from a Wizards team that had soundly defeated them last Sunday. The main difference in this contest was the presence of LeBron James, who'd sat out the 113 - 99 loss in Washington. Following a week of controversy in which his intentions to remain in Cleveland long - term were called into question, James responded with a 19 - point, 13 - rebound double - double that also included seven assists and three steals. The Cavs outperformed the Wizards in virtually every major offensive category during the dominating performance, particularly from long distance. Cleveland amassed an impressive 44 percent accuracy rate from beyond the arc, while limiting Washington to a paltry 15 percent tally. The visitors were led by John Wall, who managed 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Markieff Morris was next in line, contributing 13 points, five rebounds and two assists. Marcin Gortat posted a near double - double, registering 10 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. Ramon Sessions paced the bench with 12 points, three rebounds, two assists and a block. Bradley Beal, still coming off the bench despite Garrett Temple's monumental struggles as a starter (scoreless in 27 minutes Friday), pitched in with 11 points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal as well. The Wizards are currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division, and a game back of the eighth - seeded Detroit Pistons. They're home against the Pacers on Saturday night. Kyrie Irving spearheaded the Cavs' attack with 21 points, eight assists, five rebounds and a steal. Timofey Mozgov turned in one of his best offensive performances of the season, totaling 14 points and five rebounds over a productive 20 minutes. J.R. Smith contributed a modest 10 points, four assists, a rebound and a pair of steals, while Matthew Delladedova led the reserves with a 12 - point effort that was supplemented with three rebounds, an assist and a steal. Tristan Thompson scored in double digits off the bench as well, picking up 10 points, seven boards, a steal and two blocks.

By taking the loss Wednesday, the Pistons were officially eliminated from playoff contention. The Celtics, on the other hand, picked up a much needed win, as they continue to sit as the eighth and final projected playoff seed in the Eastern Conference standings.

Despite taking the loss, it was Reggie Jackson who continued his strong play of late. He finished with a double - double, going for 21 points (10 - 18 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt) and 15 assists. It was n't all good for the guard though, as he did record seven turnovers as well.

The Boston Celtics (5 - 11) defended their home court well in this game, knocking off the Detroit Pistons (3 - 15) 109 - 102 in overtime on Wednesday night at the TD Garden. Detroit pushed hard to try to break their losing streak, but in the end, it just was n't enough. They have now lost 10 games in a row, and ca n't seem to find an answer.

The Raptors usually need little else besides DeMar DeRozan to conquer opponents. Such was the case again Friday, when the All-Star guard went for a game - high 34 points. While Kyle Lowry was the only other member of the first unit to tally double - digit scoring, Terrence Ross posted 20 points off the bench on 8 - of - 15 shooting to lend a sizable boost to the Raptors offense. DeRozan and Ross were a combined 22 - of - 41 from the field, but the rest of the team drained just 15 of a collective 43 attempts. The Heat received a trio of strong efforts from Hassan Whiteside (21 points, 16 rebounds), Goran Dragic (17 points) and Tyler Johnson (16 points), yet managed just a 39 percent success rate from the field. They were also whistled for 22 fouls, leading to 16 Raptors points.

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the host New Orleans Pelicans, 114 - 96, at Smoothie King Center on Friday. The Clippers are the far superior team and they showed why in this win.

Los Angeles was lights - out from the field, shooting 51 percent from the field, 42 percent from three - point range and 88 percent from the free - three line. Turnovers really killed the Pelicans, as they committed 14, while forcing just nine from the Clippers. The Los Angeles starters controlled the game, outscoring the New Orleans starters, 77 - 48. The Clippers (16 - 5) were playing the second half of a back - to - back, but that did n't appear to slow them down a bit.

Chris Paul flirted with a triple - double, amassing 17 points, eight rebounds and 13 assists. DeAndre Jordan scored just six points, but grabbed 13 rebounds and recorded two blocks. Jamal Crawford dropped 21 important points off the bench as well. On deck for Los Angeles is a home matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.

This looked like a laugher early on, but this shorthanded Charlotte team fought back in the second half to make it a game. In fact, the Rockets led by 20 at the half, as the Hornets fought all the way back to take a lead with a few minutes left. The key difference for Houston was their transition offense, as they won the fastbreak battle, 25 - 2. The Rockets also took advantage of the whistle, attempting 24 more free - throws than the Hornets. James Harden added another triple - double to his tally, leading the team with 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Rockets led by as many as 13 in the fourth quarter before the Thunder went on a 13 - 2 run bringing the score to 94 - 92 for Houston with 3:20 to go.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the host Minnesota Timberwolves, 116 - 108, at Target Center on Sunday. While Golden State did pull out the result most expected, it did n't come in easy fashion. In fact, the Warriors had to rally in a 38 - 20 fourth quarter to come back and win this game. The biggest factor was the assist - to - turnover ratio, with Golden State dishing out 30 assists to just eight turnovers, while Minnesota assisted just 17 times, while committing 14 turnovers. The Timberwolves lost this game despite winning the rebounding battle, 51 - 37. Free-throw shooting was also huge for the Warriors, as they went 27 - of - 30 from the charity stripe in their comeback win. The Warriors (21 - 4) are coming off their worst loss of the season, so a comeback win is all they could ask for to get right back on track. Klay Thompson led the team in scoring, as he dropped 30 points and six rebounds. Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant each scored 22 apiece, as Durant added eight rebounds and five assists, while Curry provided four rebounds and nine assists. Draymond Green was the only other Warrior in double figures, totaling 18 points, five rebounds and four assists. Golden State will look to build off this win in a road matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. The Timberwolves (6 - 18) have struggled all season and a meltdown like this to the best team in the league only adds to the troubles. Karl-Anthony Towns did all he could to keep the T'Wolves hanging around, as he tallied 25 points and 18 rebounds in the defeat. Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins also scored 25 points apiece, as the only other Minnesota players with at least 11 points.

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Houston Rockets, 140 - 116, at Toyota Center on Friday. These are two teams going in opposite directions right now, as the Rockets put it to the Clippers in this blowout win. Not only did they score at least 32 points in every quarter, they shot 56 percent from the field against one of the best defenses in the NBA. The Rockets did have a 26 - point lead that was brought down to six in the fourth quarter, but they responded with a 160 run to take control late. Houston took advantage of a happy whistle, as they went 36 - of - 43 from the free - throw line, while Los Angles took just 16 free - throw attempts. The Rockets also won the rebounding (45 - 38) and assisting (29 - 22) differential by seven a piece, as they never trailed after the first quarter. The Clippers (22 - 13) had to play this game without Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, as they were simply outmatched against a hot Rockets bunch. The frustration hit the fan too, as Austin Rivers and Doc Rivers were both ejected in the second quarter. Raymond Felton did all he could to keep them hanging around, as he led the team with 26 points, five rebounds and eight assists off the bench. DeAndre Jordan led the starters in his homecoming game, as he totaled 20 points and 13 rebounds on 9 - of - 11 shooting. Jamal Crawford and J.J. Redick struggled, as they combined for 13 points on 5 - of - 19 shooting. Marreese Speights played well off the bench, accruing 15 points and seven rebounds. Los Angeles will look to play better on Saturday, when they play the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road. The Rockets (25 - 9) have been dominant on offense all season, but this 140 - spot marked their high of the year. James Harden recorded yet another triple - double, as he accumulated 30 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists and five steals on 10 - of - 15 shooting. Montrezl Harrell was second on the team, as he dropped a career - high 29 points on 10 - of - 14 shooting off the bench. Trevor Ariza collected 18 points, four rebounds and seven assists, while Patrick Beverley provided 15 points, seven rebounds and three assists of his own. Eric Gordon scored 19 points off the bench on 5 - of - 7 shooting. Houston plays again on Saturday, as they host the New York Knicks for their next game.

The San Antonio Spurs (17 - 4) held off the Boston Celtics (11 - 9) 108 - 105 to keep their home court undefeated streak alive. The Spurs came into this game 100 at home with a dominating 17 - point differential average and they were fortunate to keep that streak alive here. This game came down to the wire, even though the Spurs led by 17 points late in the third quarter. San Antonio outrebounded Boston 48 - 39 and outshot them 52 percent to 45 percent. Even though it goes down as a loss in the record book, this is a game the young Celtics can build off of. Boston came into this game as double - digit underdogs and nearly escaped with an impressive win. They were trailing big, but fought back to make it a two - point game with 10 seconds left. They couldn’t quite pull it off, but it was a great effort all - around. Boston was led by Isaiah Thomas, who tallied 23 points, eight assists and four rebounds in the loss. The team had four players score 16 or more points and that’s indicative of this teams nature, as they play team - ball in an individualized sport. The Celtics will look to rebound when they take on the disappointing New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. The Spurs did not have a single player who scored more than 17 points, but that's not a huge surprise with this San Antonio team. The bench was spectacular, as they combined for 54 points, 22 rebounds and 11 assists in the win. The high - scorer for the Spurs on this evening was LaMarcus Aldridge, who collected 17 points and eight rebounds. The Spurs are quietly putting together another fantastic start to the season and they are going to be tough to beat at home come playoff time. Up next for San Antonio is the one - win Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, in what could very well be a lopsided game.

In a battle between two injury - riddled teams, the Pelicans were able to prevail for their second win. Both teams shot just 29 percent from three - point range, but the Celtics took 41 attempts to the Pelicans 21. New Orleans took advantage of the happy whistle, as they went 30 - of - 36 from the free - throw line, to Boston's 17 - of - 20. Avery Bradley's 18 points and 10 rebounds continued a rare feat, as he now has four double - doubles this season, while leading the Celtics in rebounding. Isaiah Thomas carried the load though, as he scored a game - high 37 points and dished out seven assists. Anthony Davis had to do even more than Thomas, as his 25 points and 16 rebounds left him as the only Pelican starter with more than 10 points or four boards. Terrence Jones and Langston Galloway were a huge spark off the bench, as they combined for 36 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks in the win. In contrast, the six players who came off the Boston bench combined for just 20 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and four steals.

The visiting Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Houston Rockets, 119 - 105, Wednesday at Target Center. The Timberwolves (13 - 26) were without one of their young stars in Zach LaVine (hip) in Wednesday's showdown with one of the NBA's best teams, but it ended up not mattering, as Minnesota managed to lead from start to finish on the backs of their other two stars, Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns. Wiggins led the way scoring, putting up 28 points in 38 minutes, while Towns managed to post a monster double - double of 23 points and 18 rebounds. Shabazz Muhammed also added a stellar performance off the bench, as he scored 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds in 30 minutes as a reserve. As a team, it was a great all - around effort for the Wolves, as six players managed to score in double - figures Wednesday night. As for the Rockets (31 - 10), the loss ended their nine - game win streak, but even in defeat, MVP-candidate James Harden still managed to put up spectacular numbers, posting 30 points, 12 assists and six rebounds in 39 minutes. Their problems stemmed from their lack of bench production, however, as without Eric Gordon (toe) for the second straight game, the bench lacked its usual luster and produced just 29 total points. The loss is just a minor scratch on the Rockets' season however, as the team has now put win streaks of nine and ten games together over the past month and remain just a half - game behind the Spurs for first place in the Southwest Division. Up next, the Timberwolves will look to extend their win streak to three games when they take on the Thunder on Friday, while the Rockets look to start a new win streak Friday against the Grizzlies.

Tim Hardaway Jr. is easily having the most productive season of his young NBA career this year, and he has had plenty of standout performances as a result. However, those performances have not always translated to wins for his team, and Wednesday was yet another example. Hardaway Jr. finished with a game - high 29 points on an efficient 9 - of - 16 shooting from the field, but his team fell short against the Wizards 104 - 100. In the 18 games this season where Hardaway Jr. has scored at least 20 points, the Hawks are just 9 - 9 and have lost three of their last four contests when the shooting guard reaches that milestone of 20 points. That should not take away from the fact, however, that Hardaway Jr. has those 18 performances of at least 20 points after scoring at least 20 points just twice all of last season.

The more they play together, Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis have increasingly become a difficult duo for opponents to contain. That manifested itself again Wednesday, when they simultaneously went over the 20 - point mark for the third straight game. Anthony and Porzingis combined for 43 points, 15 boards, three assists, three steals and three blocks, making up a large amount of the Knicks' offense on the night. It was a different story for the Nets, who once again relied heavily on Brook Lopez. The big man came through with 21 points, four boards, an assist and three blocks. However, the rest of the starting five went just 6 - of - 28 from the field, totaling just 26 combined points. Ironically, the only other double - digit scorer was fellow big man Justin Hamilton, who compiled 21 points to lead the reserves.

The Detroit Pistons (6 - 5) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (8 - 3) 104 - 99 on Tuesday. At this rate, anything less than a monster double - double will be a disappointment for Andre Drummond. The Pistons’ superstar center tallied his 11th straight performance with double - digit points and boards, meaning he’s achieved the feat in each of Detroit’s contests this season. He contributed a team - high 25 points and 18 rebounds Tuesday to spearhead an impressive victory, which featured Detroit rallying after entering the fourth quarter trailing 81 - 75. The Cavs were led by LeBron James, who contributed a game - high 30 points. The remaining four starters accounted for virtually the rest of the Cleveland offense, as the bench could only pitch in 10 points overall. Kevin Love backed up James’ effort with a 19 - point, nine - rebound outing, while J.R. Smith and Mo Williams notably pitched in 15 points apiece. Cleveland fell to 8 - 3 but remains in first place in the Eastern Conference’s Central Division. They head home to face the Bucks on Thursday. Drummond wasn’t the only Piston lighting up the scoreboard Tuesday, as Reggie Jackson bounced back from a tough outing Sunday versus the Lakers by contributing a double - double of his own. The Detroit point guard poured in 23 points while handing out 12 assists, several to teammate Ersan Ilyasova, who posted a season high 20 points of his own. The streaky Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the dependable Marcus Morris made it a perfect five - for - five in double - digit scoring for the Pistons starters, with 13 and 14 points, respectively. The Pistons improved to 6 - 5 and reside in third place in the Eastern Conference’s Central Division. They now travel to Minnesota for a Friday date with the Timberwolves.

The Phoenix Suns defeated the Boston Celtics, 109 - 106, at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Sunday. Boston appeared to be the heavy favorite on paper, but Phoenix has been a much better team over recent weeks. The fourth quarter was especially tight, as there were five ties and eight lead changes alone in the fourth quarter. It was a hectic last 15 seconds, as Phoenix hit a lay - up with 12 seconds left to tie and then recorded a steal to eventually win on a game - winning three at the buzzer by Tyler Ulis. Defense was key for the Suns, as they held the Celtics to 38 percent shooting, while winning the turnover battle. Scoring in the paint was a huge factor as well, with Phoenix winning that battle, 52 - 32. The Celtics (40 - 23) had to play this game without Al Horford and Avery Bradley, as they did n't have enough bullets in the arsenal to hold off the Suns. Isaiah Thomas carried the load, as he tallied 35 points, two rebounds, five assists and two steals. Jae Crowder finished second on the team, totaling 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Jaylen Brown and Amir Johnson scored 13 points apiece. Terry Rozier led the bench with 14 points and four rebounds. On deck for Boston is a road matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. The Suns (21 - 42) achieved their first three - game winning streak of them season with this victory, as this stretch gives them some hope for the future. Eric Bledsoe was the star, as he collected 28 points, six rebounds and nine assists. Tyler Ulis provided 20 points and five assists off the bench, including the game - winning three. Alan Williams also had a nice game off the bench, amassing 11 points and 15 rebounds. Devin Booker scored 16 points to go along with five rebounds, while T.J.

It was a big night for Minnesota's three young 20 point per game scorers on Monday, as all three scored in the 20s once again. Reigning Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 22 points on perfect shooting. Towns went 8 - of - 8 from the field with three three - pointers and shot a perfect 3 - of - 3 at the free - throw line. Meanwhile, Zach LaVine and Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points each. LaVine had six of the Timberwolves' 15 three - pointers. As a whole, the team shot a respectable 45 percent. Atlanta shot just 42 percent and turned the ball over 19 times, two issues that contributed to the Hawks falling behind early in the game. Center Dwight Howard traded blows with Towns, scoring 20 points on perfect shooting himself. However, the effort was not enough to carry the struggling Hawks to victory, as the team hit only eight threes and made just 70 percent of its free - throws.

The San Antonio Spurs (50 - 9) became the second team in the NBA this season to reach 50 wins Saturday, defeating the Houston Rockets (29 - 30) 104 - 94. Despite a close final score, San Antonio had its way with Houston from the get - go, leading by as much as 31 at points in the game. The Spurs new duo of top scorers, Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge, paved the road to the win with 27 and 26 points respectively. Aldridge added 16 total rebounds in what was one of his best statistical performances of the night. Aging veteran Tim Duncan contributed an unfortunate box score of 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, but provided playmaking that helped bolster the Spurs' blowout win. The team remains second in the Western Conference behind the historic Golden State Warriors, despite still boasting a superior point differential and an undefeated home record. The Rockets are now in ninth place despite reaching the Western Conference Finals in 2014 - 15. The team has hovered around .500 for the majority of the season, and dips back below the mark with the loss to their division rival. Shooting guard James Harden, who remains second in the league in points per game, led the effort against the Spurs with 27 points, but no other starter topped 11. As a whole, the team shot a weak 42 percent from the field. The outcome also holds significance for the playoff picture as Houston's loss makes the conference - leading Warriors the first team in the NBA to clinch playoff berth.

The Denver Nuggets (25 - 41) defeated the Golden State Warriors (51 - 13) 114 - 103 on Friday at the Pepsi Center in Denver. With the Warriors resting Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala, the Nuggets were able to come out and end the Warriors' five - game win streak. Despite the loss, the Warriors remain six and a half games ahead of the Grizzlies for the number one spot in the Western Conference standings. Helping pull off the win for the Nuggets was their shooting, as they went 50 percent from the field and 47 percent from the three - point line, while the Warriors finished at 42 percent from the floor and 42 percent from deep. The Nuggets continued to use their small lineup during Friday's game, with Kenneth Faried getting the start at center. He was quite successful this time around, finishing with 24 points (10 - 18 FG, 4 - 6 FT) and 17 rebounds in 34 minutes. It marked his second double - double over his last three games, a stretch where he's averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds, while shooting over 55 percent from the field. Danilo Gallinari matched Faried with 24 points (7 - 16 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 9 - 11 FT) of his own, to go along with seven rebounds in 34 minutes. He's on a nice two - game stretch where he's combined for 47 points and 12 rebounds. Randy Foye was the third memeber of the starting lineup to reach the 20 - point mark, as he went 6 - for - 12 from the field and 4 - for - 9 from the three - point line to score 20 points, while adding eight assists. He's been very inconsistent with his scoring, as he's posted anywhere between three and 20 points over his last five games. Jameer Nelson chipped in with 17 points (7 - 12 FG, 3 - 4 3Pt) and seven assists as well. With Curry and Thompson on the bench, Shaun Livingston and Justin Holiday got the start at the guard spots. Holiday finished with a team - high of 23 points (9 - 16 FG, 5 - 7 3Pt), while Livingston added 12 points (5 - 13 FG, 2 - 2 FT) and eight assists as well. This was just the sixth time Holiday has reached double figures in points this season, and a nice surprise for the Warriors, as he's averaging just 4 points on the season. Also helping to keep the Warriors in the game was a couple of their bench players. Rookie James Michael-McAdoo went 6 - for - 10 from the field and 4 - for - 6 from the free throw line to score 16 points, to go along with five rebounds in 28 minutes. It was just his fifth game of the season, as he's spent the majority of his time in the NBA D-League since being signed for the rest of the season by the Warriors in mid - February. It was a career - high in points for the guard. Leandro Barbosa chipped in with 14 points (5 - 13 FG, 3 - 4 3Pt, 1 - 2 FT) and nine assists as well. The Nuggets' next game will be on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, while the Warriors will be at home against the New York Knicks on Saturday.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (13 - 14) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers (8 - 18) 104 - 103 on Friday. Oklahoma City made their way quickly back into the win column after losing 114 - 109 to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. Kevin Durant sat out the game as a precautionary measure. He sprained his ankle in Thursday's game, and while Durant wanted to play, the Thunder do n't want him trying to compensate for his sprained ankle, putting himself at risk of reinjuring his surgically repaired foot. Russell Westbrook and Reggie Jackson carried the weight for the Thunder. Westbrook scored a game - high 31 points, and Jackson had 25 points off the bench. Oklahoma City will return home to host the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. Los Angeles has dropped two straight. Though Kobe Bryant scored just nine points in 35 minutes, the Lakers matched up well with the Thunder in nearly every relevant statistical category. Where the Thunder gained an advantage was at the free - throw line. Los Angeles sent the Thunder to the charity stripe 29 times, with the Thunder converting 22 of their attempts. The Lakers only earned 15 trips to the line, making 11 of their attempts. Ed Davis had his best game of the season, putting up 18 points and nine rebounds in 32 minutes.

James Harden's numbers have been off the chart, as the point guard for the Houston Rockets has dropped multiple 15 - plus assist games this season, and added another one against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. The impressive box score effort also played a major role in rallying his team to a difficult victory. While Tony Parker (knee) was sidelined for another game, Harden did see a lot of Patty Mills and Kawhi Leonard, however, the matchup went in favor of the Rockets point guard. Harden finished with 24 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, one steal and eight turnovers on 9 - of - 19 shooting. He only got to the free throw line seven times, but was more than effective on the pick - and - roll and working with Clint Capela. The turnovers are of note, given it was his second straight game with eight turnovers, which matched his season high.

Jonas Valanciunas scored a team - high 17 points and pulled down seven rebounds. They continue to win even without DeMar DeRozan (adductor) in the lineup, maintaining their seat atop the Eastern Conference standings, but a scary injury happened to Landry Fields in Friday's game.

Considering the serious potential of the situation, Fields came out OK, even passing a concussion test. The Raptors will play the New York Knicks on Sunday.

The host Dallas Mavericks beat the New York Knicks on Wednesday, 103 - 95. Dallas (16 - 29) has now won five of its last seven contests and is looking like a team that could cause trouble in the wide - open eighth seed race in the Western Conference. After a 49 - point drubbing of the Lakers on Sunday, the Mavs handed a loss to another big - market team when the Knicks came to town. Forward Harrison Barnes contributed heavily to the win, leading the team with 23 points. The team also saw encouraging play from veteran big man Dirk Nowitzki, who contributed 19 points in one of his better performances in what has been an up - and - down season. The Mavs put together a stellar offensive night from the floor, shooting 47 percent, despite an abysmal performance from beyond the arc. The Knicks (20 - 27) have been sliding lately, having now dropped five of their last seven. Amidst rumors that he was shopped around to teams such as Cleveland, aging star Carmelo Anthony led the team with 30 points on Wednesday. The stellar outing was not enough for the win, however, as New York's struggles continued to show.

The Washington Wizards (14 - 14) defeated the Brooklyn Nets (8 - 22) 111 - 96 on Saturday. Washington entered Saturday's contest without the services of starters Bradley Beal (leg) and Otto Porter Jr. (thigh) once again, meaning that another heavy offensive load was likely in store for veteran leaders John Wall and Marcin Gortat, and to a lesser extent, the injured pair's replacements, Garrett Temple and Kelly Oubre, Jr. As has been the case in several recent games, all four made notable contributions of varying degrees to help secure another victory for the surging Wizards. Gortat led the way scoring - wise with 25 points, and added seven rebounds, three assists, a block and a steal. Meanwhile, Wall racked up his fifth straight game with double - digit assists, dishing out 13 dimes and also posting 22 points of his own. Just as important, the 25 - year - old emerged from a 9 of 33 shooting funk over the preceding two games to drain 53 percent of his 17 attempts from the field. Overall, the Wizards' relentless attack allowed them to wear down Brooklyn, and they won going away on the strength of a final period in which they outscored the home team by the sizable margin of 32 - 19. Oubre's tally of 12 points, six rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal were especially welcome on a night when frontcourt mate Jared Dudley considerably underwhelmed with only three points. Temple was a bit more understated than in recent games, but still pitched in nine points, three assists, a rebound, two steals and a block. Jarrell Eddie, just signed on Tuesday, paced the Washington bench with 12 points in his debut, while Kris Humphries poured in 10 of his own and added eight rebounds. The Wizards evened their record at 14 - 14 but remain in last place in the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division. They head home to face the Clippers on Monday. Brooklyn received a trio of impressive double - doubles from their most dependable players, making the double - digit defeat even more frustrating. Brook Lopez (19 points, 11 rebounds) and Thaddeus Young (16 points, 14 rebounds) were a major reason the Nets outrebounded the Wizards 50 to 39, and both extended a streak of particularly strong recent play. It was the third double - double for Lopez in the last four games, while Young's performance qualified as the fourth time in the last five contests that he's posted double - digit points and boards. Meanwhile, Jarrett Jack was outstanding in his own right, contributing 15 points and dishing out 11 assists. Second-year forward Bojan Bogdanovic pitched in with his fourth straight double - digit scoring effort, managing 14 points and adding five rebounds and a pair of assists. Despite the strong contributions from most of the starters and the aforementioned advantage on the glass, the Nets were largely done in by a poor shooting night from three - point range (29 percent over 17 attempts) and the 20 total team turnovers they were guilty of. The Nets fell to 8 - 22 and remain in fourth place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division. They head to Miami to take on the Heat in a Monday night matchup.

The New Orleans Pelicans (22 - 21) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (7 - 35) 92 - 84 on Friday. The Pelicans went into halftime with a 45 - 44 lead that was never relinquished in the second half as they picked up their third victory in their last four games. Anthony Davis recorded 21 points and 12 rebounds in his second game back from a toe injury that forced him to miss three games. Davis is averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals in 40 minutes per game since returning, and the Pelicans are 20 in that span. Tyreke Evans has been filling in at point guard for New Orleans while Jrue Holiday (ankle) recovers from injury. Evans had 17 points and eight assists, while Eric Gordon chipped in 20 points and five helpers. Nate Wolters, whom the Pelicans signed to a second 10 - day contract earlier this week, had five points in 14 minutes off the bench.

In his second game back from injury, Nikola Pekovic had 13 points and nine rebounds off the bench. Pekovic is averaging 14 points and 7 rebounds in 22 minutes per game since his return.

Kevin Love is having his most productive season since joining the Cavaliers in 2015, averaging a double - double of 20 points and 11 rebounds per game, and that's what made his performance in Wednesday's loss so troubling for Cleveland. In 22 minutes against the Nuggets, Love scored just nine points on 3 - of - 9 shooting from the field and grabbed seven rebounds. It was the first time all season where Love played at least 20 minutes and failed to score in double figures, as in the other team games he failed to reach 10 points, he was hurt midway through and failed to return. However, the fact that it was Love's first time is a testament to how much more productive he has been this season, especially when he failed to score 10 points in at least 20 minutes of action nine different times last season.

The Heat (14 - 9) locked down the Hawks (14 - 12) in a 100 - 88 victory at Philips Arena on Monday. Playing their second game in as many nights, the Heat turned in a dominant defensive performance, particularly on Hawks' guards Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver, who combined to shoot 4 - of - 24 from the field. Miami also did nice work on the boards, outrebounding Atlanta 54 - 37, perhaps the biggest difference in the game. Chris Bosh led the way for the Heat, scoring a team - high 24 points to go along with 10 rebounds for his second double - double in three games. But the MVP of the game was Gerald Green, who came off the bench to score 20 points on 9 - of - 14 shooting over 31 minutes. It was the fourth straight game that Green reached double - digit scoring, as the veteran guard has taken advantage of the absence of Tyler Johnson, who missed his third straight game due to a shoulder injury. The Hawks were really hurt by a poor first half, scoring just 38 points over the first two quarters of the game. Aside from the poor guard play, Paul Millsap and Al Horford had a tough time down low and were held in check by Bosh and Hassan Whiteside. That left just one starter left, Kent Bazemore, who had a monster game with a season - high 28 points on 11 - of - 18 shooting along with three 3 - pointers over 40 minutes - - which was also a season high. The Heat travel to Brooklyn to face the Nets on Wednesday; the Hawks will look to end a three - game losing streak against the 76ers.

Clint Capela has quietly been having a solid season in his first year as the Rockets' full - time starting center despite being in a Mike D'Antoni-led offense that does n't utilize big men as much. Following Capela's 13 - point, 14 - rebound game against the Thunder on Wednesday, Capela notched his third double - double of the season and his seventh game with at least nine rebounds. He also shot 5 - of - 8 against Oklahoma City, making Wednesday his eighth game this season where he has made over 50 percent of his field goal attempts. For the Thunder's Victor Oladipo, his monster 29 - point night is just the second time in the last nine games where the shooting guard has managed to score over 20 points. He also made 67 percent of his shots Wednesday, which was just the third time he was able to do so this season. As of now, the Thunder are 4 - 1 when Oladipo scores over 20 points, with the one loss coming at the hands of the Warriors, so if he can get going, he gives Oklahoma City a shot to win.

The Toronto Raptors defeated the host Boston Celtics, 101 - 94, at TD Garden on Friday. In a battle between two Eastern Conference contenders, both squads left it all on the floor. The third quarter was the decisive one for the Raptors, as they outscored the Celtics, 33 - 18. In fact, Boston won or tied the other three quarters, but could n't quite make the full comeback in the fourth. Defense was key for Toronto, as they held Boston to 37 percent shooting and forced them to fire up 42 three - pointers in their loss, making just 17 of them.

The Raptors are off until Monday, when they host the surging Milwaukee Bucks. Boston (13 - 10) had to play this game without Isaiah Thomas and it really hurt them late when they needed a clutch basket. Al Horford did all he could to keep Boston hanging around, as he accumulated 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the defeat. Avery Bradley matched Horford with 19 points and five rebounds on 7 - of - 11 from the field.

The Washington Wizards (10 - 5) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (7 - 8) 83 - 80 at the Verizon Center on Saturday. Washington got back onto the winner's list, snapping a two - game losing streak when Tyreke Evans' game - tying three - point shot hit the front of the rim in the dying seconds. Marcin Gortat led the Wizards with 24 points and 13 rebounds, and also was a big presence defensively, blocking a season - high four shots to go with two steals. Kris Humphries started in place of the injured Nene (foot) and was a beast on the glass, pulling down 11 rebounds of his own in just 26 minutes. After starting the first 13 games of the season in place of Bradley Beal, Garrett Temple failed to get into the game, logging his first healthy scratch of the season. The Wizards take on the visiting Miami Heat on Monday. The Pelicans tried desperately to break their own two - game losing streak, but fell short, and have now lost four out of their last five contests. Emerging superstar Anthony Davis carried his team with 30 points and 13 rebounds and was joined by only two other teammates in scoring in double digits, Ryan Anderson (11 points) and Jrue Holiday (17 points). Notably, it was the first game all season that Davis failed to block a shot, as he is averaging 3 blocks per game.

The Chicago Bulls defeated the visiting Indiana Pacers, 118 - 101, on Saturday night at United Center. The Bulls made a statement once again by defeating another formidable conference rival and defending their home court for the second time in a row, to remain undefeated at home and in their 2016 - 17 season. The Bulls have defeated the Celtics and now the Pacers, after many people questioned how this new look team would gel. Chicago (20) came ready to play in this one as they poured in 62 points in the first half, while holding Indiana to only 41. Chicago then held on to maintain the lead for the entire second half.

Doug McDermott was the high - point man, with 23, while Rajon Rondo dished 13 assists to get his guys going. The Bulls will be back in action on Monday, when they visit Brooklyn. The Pacers (1 - 2) were perhaps fatigued on the second night of a back - to - back, which began with a loss against Brooklyn on Friday night. Paul George and Myles Turner both dropped 20 points but they did not have a ton of support in terms of scoring. The Pacers added some great pieces like Al Jefferson and Thaddeus Young over the offseason but have not been able to get things together in a consistent way yet this season. Indiana will enjoy a couple days rest before it hosts the Lakers on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Lakers (13 - 51) upset the league - leading Golden State Warriors (55 - 6) on Sunday, 112 - 95. The difference between LA's .190 and Golden State's .911 win percentages was the largest in NBA history headed into Sunday's matchup. Seven Lakers reached double digits in scoring, with the young backcourt duo of sophomore Jordan Clarkson and rookie D'Angelo Russell combining for 46 points. Russell, less than a week removed from his career - high 39 points on Tuesday, scored 21 while dishing out five assists. The rookie was also a pest on the defensive end, grabbing four steals. European rookie Marcelo Huertas led the team with nine assists off the bench, giving fire to the second unit in the stunning upset. Coach Byron Scott said Huertas was "probably [the team's] MVP" when asked for comment on the rookie's impressive showing.The Lakers smoked Golden State in terms of shooting, hitting nine three - pointers to the Warrior's four, and shooting an efficient 47 percent from the field. Though LA maintains the league's second - worst record, they were able to expose the Warriors, dealing them their sixth and second - largest loss of the season. Normally the best three - point shooting team in the league, Golden State hit just four from deep in Los Angeles. After one of the most impressive individual weeks in recent memory last week, Steph Curry went just 1 - for - 10 from three - point land on Sunday. Curry was one of just two Warriors to reach double digit scoring, as seemingly nothing would fall for the NBA's top team. Turnovers also presented an issue, as the team coughed the ball up 20 times as a whole. Seven of those turnovers came from first - time All-Star Draymond Green, who also failed to prevent sophomore Julius Randle from crashing the board 14 times by the day's end. Golden State will now need a record of at least 18 - 3 to finish the season in order to be in sole possession of the best single season in NBA history. The Warriors will hope for a comeback on Monday when they host the Orlando Magic. The Lakers will host the Magic the next day.
