-

Giannis Antetokoun­mpo scored 38 points, Khris Middleton added 31 and the Bucks outlasted the New Orleans Pelicans 129125 in Milwaukee in a game that featured 15 ties and 23 lead changes.

It was the fourth straight win for the Bucks.

Zion Williamson scored 34 points and Brandon Ingram added 23 for the Pelicans, who had won two straight.

Nets 192, Magic 92: Kyrie Irving had 27 points and nine assists, James

Harden scored 20 points and host Brooklyn extended its longest winning streak since moving to Brooklyn to eight with a rout of Orlando. The Nets have the longest current winning streak in the NBA and their longest since a franchise record-tying 14-game run late in the 2005-06 season. They moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn in 2012. This roll has come almost entirely without Kevin Durant. He missed his sixth straight game with a strained left hamstring.

Grizzlies 122, Clippers 94: Tyus Jones scored 20 points and host Memphis held Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to sub-standard nights. Dillon Brooks added 19 points for Memphis, and Jonas Valanciuna­s and Ja Morant had 16 each, with Valanciuna­s adding 15 rebounds. Leonard scored 17 points, and George and Serge Ibaka had 13 points each for Los Angeles.

76ers 111, Mavericks 97: Joel Embiid had 23 points and nine rebounds, Ben Simmons scored 15 points and Eastern Conference-leading Philadelph­ia beat visiting Dallas. Luka Doncic scored 19 points for the Mavericks.

Knicks 140, Kings 121: Immanuel Quickley scored 18 of his 25 points in the first half and Julius Randle had 21 points and 14 rebounds to help host New York beat Sacramento. While the Knicks cruised to their fifth win in their past seven games, the Kings (12-20) dropped their ninth straight.

Wizards 112, Nuggets 110: Bradley Beal scored 33 points and Washington escaped Denver when Facundo Campazzo missed a hurried 3-pointer at the buzzer. Rui Hachimura added 20 points for the Wizards, who swept their home-and-home series with Denver and completed a 3-1 trip out West. Jamal Murray had 34 points for Denver.
