Raptors secure 14th win in row

Fred VanVleet scored 10 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter, Pascal Siakam scored 20 points, including the tiebreaking free throw with 22 seconds remaining, and the Raptors extended their franchise-record winning streak to 14 by beating the Nets 119-118 on Saturday night in Toronto.

Terence Davis scored 20 points as the Raptors overcame the absence of All-Star guard Kyle Lowry for their 10th consecutive home victory over the Nets. The Raptors have won 18 of 19 in the series, including six straight.

Davis shot 5-for-8 from 3 and VanVleet went 4-for-9 as the defending league champions remained unbeaten since a 105-104 home loss to the Spurs on Jan. 12.

Caris LeVert scored a career-high 37, going 6 of 7 from long range, but missed a 3 that would have given the Nets the win.

Knicks earn 4th straight victory: Julius Randle scored 17 points, including a bank shot with 13.5 seconds left that helped the visiting Knicks edge the Pistons 95-92 to secure their fourth straight victory.

Reggie Jackson had 20 points and nine assists in the loss.

Hornets waive 2 veterans: The Hornets waived former No. 2 overall pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and 15-year league veteran Marvin Williams.

ESPN reported that the league-leading Bucks will sign Williams as soon as Monday after waiving Dragan Bender.
