Bucks 125, Cavaliers 108: Milwaukee continued its franchise-best start and pulled within two games of matching their all-time longest winning streak, routing visiting Cleveland. Milwaukee faced little resistance from a struggling Cleveland bunch. The Bucks jumped to an 18-point halftime lead and expanded the gap to as many as 28 points in the third quarter on the way to their 18th straight win.

The Bucks' 24-3 start is the best in the 52-year history of the organization. To match the 20-game winning streak of the Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-led 1970-71 Bucks, this 2019-20 squad will have to beat two of the hottest teams in the Western Conference, the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers, next week.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 29 points, and Khris Middleton added 24 points, leading six Bucks scoring in double-figures. Sputtering Cleveland dropped its 15th game over the last 17. Kevin Porter Jr. led the Cavaliers scoring 15 points off the bench.

Heat 122, Mavericks 118 (OT): Jimmy Butler scored 27 points as Miami defeated host Dallas in a game that saw Luka Doncic sprain his right ankle early in the first quarter.

Bulls 109, Clippers 106: Zach LaVine made a go-ahead layup with two seconds remaining and sank a free throw to complete a three-point play, and Chicago emerged with a win over visiting Los Angeles.

LaVine finished with 31 points on 11-for-21 shooting, including 4 of 7 from beyond the arc.

Montrezl Harrell scored 30 points to lead the Clippers, whose four-game winning streak was snapped. Paul George added 27 points in 31 minutes but missed a shot at the buzzer that could have forced overtime.

Nuggets 110, Thunder 102: Nikola Jokic recorded 28 points, 14 rebounds and matched his season high of 12 assists for his fourth triple-double of the season to help Denver post a victory over Oklahoma City.

Pistons 115, Rockets 107: Derrick Rose produced a double-double in a sparkling effort off the bench as short-handed Detroit raced past host Houston.

Rose finished with 20 points and 12 assists. James Harden led the Rockets with 39 points.

Spurs 121, Suns 119 (OT): Patty Mills had 26 points off the bench, including a jump shot with 1.7 seconds remaining that gave San Antonio an overtime victory over Phoenix, the second of the two NBA games played in Mexico City this season.

Mills tied a season high with six three-pointers on 14 attempts. LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMar DeRozan and Dejounte Murray had 18 points apiece, and Lonnie Walker IV had 16 points for the Spurs, who have won four of six and had most of the fan support in a game that was a designated home game for the Suns.

Grizzlies 128, Wizards 111: Dillon Brooks scored 27 points, and teammate Brandon Clarke added 25 as host Memphis handed Washington its fourth straight loss.

Brooks went 10-for-17 from the field to lead the Grizzlies.
