76ers top Jazz to stay perfect at home

Hawks beat Warriors to snap 10-game losing skid

PHILADELPHIA — James Ennis III hit a 3 and dropped for three pushups, and Tobias Harris scored 26 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 10394 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

Al Horford scored 17 points to help the Sixers win for the eighth time in nine games and improve to 10-0 at home. A night after the Raptors led the Jazz by 40 points at halftime, the Sixers led by a more modest 18 points at the break — a cushion needed late to secure the win against Utah.

Ennis, Philly’s super sub, had the crowd going wild in the first half when he was fouled on a 3 and did three quick pushups to stretch the lead to 26 points. Ennis missed the free throw but it hardly mattered at home. The Sixers flexed their offensive muscle and have started to play more like a team expected to contend for an Eastern Conference title than one that slogged through a 2-5 stretch in mid-November.

SUNS 109, HORNETS 104:

In Charlotte, N.C., Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 23 points, including two clutch 3-pointers in the final minute that lifted Phoenix to a victory over Charlotte.

Devin Booker added 23 points and Dario Saric had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Suns, who snapped a three-game skid.

HAWKS 104, WARRIORS 79:

In Atlanta, Trae Young scored 24 points, rookie De’Andre Hunter added 18 and Atlanta snapped a 10-game losing streak with a win over Golden State in a matchup of teams with the worst records in the NBA.

The Warriors (4-18) finished with a season low in points. It was the lowest point total allowed by the Hawks (5-16).

BUCKS 132, KNICKS 88:

In Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo needed only 14 minutes to record another double-double, finishing with 29 points and 15 rebounds as Milwaukee won its 12th straight game.

The Bucks (18-3) led by as many as 47 and cruised behind Antetokounmpo.

The reigning MVP shot 10 of 14 from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range, while playing 22 minutes.

Milwaukee’s winning streak is the longest in the NBA this season and the franchise’s longest since the 1981-82 season.

PACERS 117, GRIZZLIES 104:

In Memphis, Tenn., Malcolm Brogdon scored 19 points, Domantas Sabonis added 18 and Indiana beat depleted Memphis.

Seven players scored in double figures for the balanced Pacers, including Myles Turner with 17 points. Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday had 15 apiece, with Holiday missing only one of his six 3-point attempts.
