Warriors’ record run without consecutive losses ends at 146

CHICAGO — Jimmy Butler scored 22 points as the Chicago Bulls beat Golden State 94-87 on Thursday in the Warriors’ first game since Kevin Durant injured his left leg.

Golden State was breathing a little easier after learning Durant probably will play again this season. He was hurt two nights earlier in a loss at Washington.

The NBA-leading Warriors’ league-record regular-season streak without consecutive losses ended at 146 games.

Stephen Curry scored 23 points and Klay Thompson 13 for Golden State, with the duo combining to miss 19 of 22 3-point tries, as the Warriors absorbed back-to-back regular-season losses for the first time since April NBA 2015.

Bobby Portis added 17 points and a season-high 13 rebounds in his best game of the season for Chicago, and Butler made all 10 free throws and had five rebounds and six assists.

Trail Blazers 114, Thunder 109 — At Portland, Ore., Damian Lillard scored 33 points for Portland, which went on a late 16-0 run. Russell Westbrook scored 28 of his 45 points in the first half for Oklahoma City but made only 12 of 36 shots.

Suns 120, Hornets 103 — At Phoenix, Marquese Chriss had 17 points to lead five double-figure scorers for Phoenix, which shot a season-best 59.7 percent and improved to 8-4 against Eastern Conference teams at home this season.
