A day after taking schoolkids to a museum instead of visiting President Trump at the White House, the Golden State Warriors won for the seventh time in eight games by beating the Washington Wizards 109-101 as Kevin Durant scored 32 points, Stephen Curry added 25, and Klay Thompson limited Bradley Beal to eight Wednesday night.

Durant shot 12 for 20, Thompson scored 13, and Draymond Green contribute­d 11 points and 11 assists.

Otto Porter Jr. led Washington with 29 points and 10 rebounds, and Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 17 (on four-of-16 shooting). Beal came in averaging a team-leading 23.7 points but he missed his first nine shots and had zero points at halftime. His first basket came with under 51⁄2 minutes left in the third quarter.

New Orleans 121, at San Antonio 116:

Anthony Davis had 26 points and 15 rebounds, and the Pelicans rallied in the final two minutes to add to the misery of the Spurs, who lost LaMarcus Aldridge to a sprained ankle in the first half. New Orleans won its seventh straight after trailing by as many as 15 points. The Spurs have lost five out of six.
