Curry and Durant ejected as Warriors fall to Grizzlies; Magic blow out Cavs

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Memphis Grizzlies 111101 on Saturday night in a game that saw Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant ejected.

Curry scored 37 points, but sat out the first half of the fourth quarter with five fouls.

Durant didn’t like a no-call either, and as Curry and Durant made their way toward the tunnel Durant was seen apparently flipping off a fan.

Marc Gasol led Memphis with 34 points and 14 rebounds. The Grizzlies led almost the entire game and by as many as 19 points in the second half.

Magic 114, Cavaliers 93

Orlando ended a 17-game losing streak against Cleveland and LeBron James with a win.

Nicola Vucevic scored 23 points and the Orlando Magic stunned the Cavaliers, who trailed by as many as 37 points.

The skid was the longest in Magic history to one team, just as the winning streak was Cleveland’s best against an opponent. The Magic hadn’t beaten Cleveland since November 2012.

Pistons 111, Knicks 107

Detroit completed a comeback from a 21-point deficit as Tobias Harris scored 12 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter to lift Detroit past New York.

Porzingis led all scorers with 33 points, but most of his damage was done in the first half.

Andre Drummond, who collected 21 points and 11 rebounds, blocked Porzingis’s final shot.

Rockets 107, Mavericks 91

James Harden scored a season-high 29 points, Eric Gordon chipped in 18 and Houston defeated Dallas.

This is the 11th time the Rockets have started a season 3-0. The last was in 2014-15, when Houston started 6-0.

Spurs 87, Bulls 77

LaMarcus Aldridge had 28 points and 10 rebounds, and San Antonio – playing without last season’s leading scorer Kawhi Leonard –scored 23 points off of turnovers in a victory over Chicago.

Robin Lopez scored 16 points for the Bulls, who are without a handful of key players because of injury or suspension while in the midst of a rebuilding effort.

Raptors 128, 76ers 94

Ben Simmons has had a perfect start to his NBA career. The Australian has had double-doubles in each of his first three NBA games, but Philadelphia has lost all three, including Saturday to Toronto.

While Simmons scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and added eight assists, the Raptors got 30 points from DeMar DeRozan to start the season with two straight wins.

Simmons joined Oscar Robertson as the only NBA players to start their careers with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds and five or more assists in their first three games.

Jazz 96, Thunder 87

Joe Ingles scored 19 points and shorthanded Utah used a dominating defensive performance to knock off Oklahoma City.

Ingles led a balanced attack as five Jazz players scored in double figures. He finished with 19 points. Rudy Gobert also had a big night for the Jazz with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Ricky Rubio added 16 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Bucks 113, Trail Blazers 110

Giannis Antetokounmpo stepped to the free-throw line with a chance to save the night for Milwaukee, only to miss both shots.

Antetokounmpo followed those misses with a steal, a go-ahead dunk and a game-saving block in the final seconds as the Bucks held off Portland. He finished with a career-high 44 points.

Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum led Portland with 26 points each and Jusuf Nurkic added 17 for the Blazers. (Reuters)
