Monday’s Games

-

(At) Cavaliers 102, Bucks 95: Kyrie Irving had 25 points for Cleveland on the same day he got a new backup point guard, Deron Williams, who signed as a free agent after the Mavericks waived him. Williams, 32, a 13-year veteran, has played on two U.S. Olympic teams with Cavs star LeBron James. Bucks forward Michael Beasley suffered a sprained left knee in the first quarter. It twisted grotesquel­y as he defended James. Beasley has been starting more since Jabari Parker suffered a torn ACL early this month.

Warriors 119, (at) 76ers 108: Kevin Durant scored 27 points for Golden State. Stephen Curry had 19 but shot 0 of 11 on 3-pointers, the worst effort of his career.

Raptors 92, (at) Knicks 91: DeMar DeRozan scored 37 for Toronto, including the winning turnaround jumper from 18 feet with 1.9 seconds left. Carmelo Anthony scored 24 for New York. The Raptors said point guard Kyle Lowry will have surgery today to remove loose bodies from his right wrist, but they hope he can return for the playoffs. The Knicks waived backup point guard Brandon Jennings and said center Joakim Noah would be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks after he had arthroscop­ic knee surgery Monday to remove a loose fragment. The Knicks signed guard Chasson Randle.

Hawks 114, (at) Celtics 98: Dennis Schroder scored 21 points for Atlanta, which led by 13 entering the fourth quarter and increased the edge to 24 despite playing the final 16 minutes without center Dwight Howard. He was ejected after receiving his second technical. Celtics guard Avery Bradley had six points in 15 minutes as he returned from missing 22 of the past 23 games with an Achilles injury.

(At) Mavericks 96, Heat 89: Seth Curry scored 29 points as Dallas handed Miami its third loss in 19 games. Pacers at Rockets: Late

Timberwolv­es at Kings: Late
