Porzingis suffers torn ACL in left knee after dunk against Bucks

Dubs, Cavs, Celts fall

NEW YORK (AP) – Kristaps Porzingis' dunk wasn't spectacular, certainly nothing like Giannis Antetokounmpo jumping over Tim Hardaway Jr. for a slam.

But the moment he landed, punching the court in pain , the Knicks' playoff hopes had likely crumpled right along with him.

Porzingis tore the ACL in his left knee Tuesday night in the Knicks' 10389 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Antetokounmpo scored 23 points, jumping over Hardaway for one highflying slam after Porzingis had dunked over him earlier in the game.

MAGIC 116, CAVALIERS 98

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — After another embarrassing defeat and two days before the trade deadline, LeBron James let it be known he's not going anywhere, at least for now.

"I'm here for this season right now to try and figure out a way we can still compete," James said after his Cleveland Cavaliers blew a 21-point lead in a 116-98 loss to the Orlando Magic. "I owe it to my teammates to finish this season out no matter how it ends up. I would never waive my no-trade clause."

RAPTORS 111, CELTICS 91

TORONTO (AP) — Kyrie Irving returned from injury, but it didn't do much to help the Boston Celtics.

Kyle Lowry scored 23 points, C.J. Miles had 20 and the Toronto Raptors routed the Celtics 111-91 on Tuesday night, snapping Boston's four-game winning streak.

THUNDER 125, WARRIORS 105

OAKLAND, Calif. – Russell Westbrook had 34 points, nine rebounds and nine assists to get the better of old buddy and teammate Kevin Durant, Paul George scored 38 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder embarrassed the defending champion Golden State Warriors 125-105 on Tuesday night to snap a four-game losing streak.

Durant scored 33 points but didn’t get as much help from the cold-shooting Splash Brothers of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, who added 21 and 12 points, respectively. They combined to go 11 of 27 from the floor and 4 for 15 on 3-pointers as the Warriors lost for the third time in four games. They lost their tempers, too – as in five technicals total.
