Simmons trips Clippers

-

Ben Simmons had 26 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Philadelph­ia 76ers beat the Los Angeles Clippers 110-103 on Tuesday night.

Joel Embiid also scored 26 points and Tobias Harris added 17 points and 12 boards for Philadelph­ia, which has the NBA’s best home record at 25-2. Josh Richardson scored 17 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter.

Kawhi Leonard led Los Angeles with 30 points.

Pelicans 138, Blazers 117 — Zion Williamson scored a season-high 31 points, and New Orleans had a dominant second half. Playing 28 minutes in just his ninth NBA game, Williamson used his 6-foot-6, 285-pound frame, quick feet and explosive vertical to have his way with every defender Portland tried against him. Williamson was either too strong, too fast, or both. He mixed spinning dribbles and sudden baseline drives into his usual arsenal of soaring transition dunks and tenacious putbacks.

Wizards 126, Bulls 114 — Bradley Beal scored 30 points, and the Wizards held off Zach LaVine and the Bulls. Rui Hachimura added 20 points for Washington, which won for the fourth time in six games.

LaVine scored 19 of his 41 points in the fourth quarter as the Bulls whittled an 18-point deficit down to six points.

LaVine shot 15 of 21 from the field, including 8 for 11 from 3-point range.

Spurs 114, Thunder 106 — LaMarcus Aldridge had 25 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs stopped a five-game slide

Dejounte Murray also scored 25 points for San Antonio, which had dropped eight of 10 overall. Patty Mills had 20 points, and fellow reserve Derrick White finished with 17.
