NBA ROUNDUP

Nikola Mirotic and New London’s Kris Dunn each scored 22 points, and the Chicago Bulls topped the Philadelphia 76ers 117115 on Monday night for their sixth consecutive victory. Mirotic and Dunn each hit huge shots down the stretch as Chicago rallied past Philadelphia with a big finish in the fourth quarter. Mirotic also grabbed 13 rebounds and Dunn added six assists, helping the Bulls remain unbeaten since Mirotic returned Dec. 8 after missing the start of the season with facial fractures after he got into a fight with teammate Bobby Portis during practice. Chicago had seven players score in double figures. Justin Holiday scored all 20 of his points in the first half, and Portis finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Ben Simmons had 19 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists for the Sixers, who lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Frank Kaminsky scored 15 of his season high-tying 24 points in the first half to give Charlotte a jolt off the bench in an easy victory over the New York Knicks. Kaminsky didn’t miss a shot until the fourth quarter, finishing 10 of 13 overall and 4 of 6 on 3-pointers to provide a boost for a Hornets bench that has struggled so much lately that interim head coach Stephen Silas has shortened the playing rotation. But Monday’s win was so comfortable Silas was able to use all 12 of his players in a game in which Charlotte (11-19) led by as much as 27 points. The Hornets snapped a three-game skid and ended the Knicks’ four-game winning streak. Michael Beasley scored 23 points for New York.
