Jazz take aim at 10th straight win on Monday.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 25 points, including a go-ahead pull-up jumper with 39.2 seconds left, and the Utah Jazz extended their leaguebest winning streak to 10 games with a 101-99 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.
Mitchell hit a pair of go-ahead baskets and a free throw to give the Jazz the lead in the final minute after they trailed by as many as 13 points in the fourth quarter.
Joe Ingles added 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists for Utah. Derrick Favors had 19 points and eight rebounds.
The Jazz (29-28) moved above .500 for the first time in more than two months.
Kyle Anderson scored 16 points and Pau Gasol had 15 points and 15 rebounds for the Spurs, who lost to Utah for the third time this season.
PELICANS 118, PISTONS 103
DETROIT (AP) — Anthony Davis had 38 points and 10 rebounds to lead New Orleans in another one of his strong performances against Detroit.
Davis is averaging 30.4 points per game against the Pistons, his highest total against an NBA team.
He scored a careerhigh 59 against them nearly two years ago.
That's one reason the Pelicans have won 11 of the last 12 games against the Pistons.
Detroit attempted to defend Davis with Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin, but they were no match for Davis inside, off the dribble or on the outside.
The All-Star was 14 of 24 from the field, including 3 for 6 on 3-pointers.
Nikola Mirotic helped the Pelicans pull away in the third quarter and finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds.
Griffin scored 22 on 8-of-17 shooting. Drummond had 13 points and 21 rebounds.
76ERS 108, KNICKS 92
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dario Saric scored 24 points to lead Philadelphia to its fourth straight win.
J.J. Redick had 18 points and Joel Embiid scored 17 for the 76ers, who won their 10th straight at home to remain in playoff position in the Eastern Conference.
Reserve T.J. McConnell had a triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
Michael Beasley scored 22 points for the Knicks, who have dropped seven in a row.
Courtney Lee had 18 points in his first game coming off the bench this season for New York.
CLIPPERS 114, NETS 101
NEW YORK (AP) — Lou Williams scored 20 points and DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and 17 rebounds, lifting the balanced Clippers to the road win.
Los Angeles put seven players in double figures and shot 56.5 percent from the field in its fourth win in five games, bouncing back nicely from a loss in Philadelphia.
