MONDAY’S GAMES
HOME team in caps.
PISTONS 111, Trail Blazers 91: Andre Drummond had 17 points and 17 rebounds, and Detroit beat Portland for their fourth straight victory. Detroit has won three in a row with Blake Griffin in the lineup after acquiring him in a trade last week. The victory Monday pulled the Pistons back to .500 and even with Philadelphia.
Wizards 111, PACERS 102: All-Star guard Bradley Beal scored 21 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. had 15 on Monday night to help Washington hold on for a victory over Indiana. The Wizards have won five straight overall, all without John Wall.
Magic 111, HEAT 109: Mario Hezonja scored 20 points, Jonathan Simmons made the tiebreaking dunk with 1:31 remaining, and Orlando beat Miami. The Heat appeared to tie the game after Tyler Johnson was credited with a basket when Orlando’s Bismack Biyombo was called for goaltending with 2.8 seconds remaining. A video review overturned the call.
Jazz 133, PELICANS 109: Rodney Hood scored 30 points in his second game back from a lower leg bruise and the surging Jazz extended their winning streak to six with a victory over New Orleans. Ricky Rubio had 20 points and 11 assists, and Rudy Gobert added 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Jazz.
Hornets at NUGGETS (late): Charlotte’s reserves ignited a 20-2 run to start the fourth quarter and the Hornets rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat the Suns on Sunday. Nikola Jokic hit a go-ahead 3-pointer off a missed dunk by Gary Harris, and the Nuggets rallied to beat the Warriors Saturday.
Bulls at KINGS (late): Zach LaVine had 21 points and nine rebounds and led six Bulls players scoring in double figures in Chicago’s 113-103 loss to the Clippers on Saturday. Zach Randolph had 18 points and seven rebounds, Justin Jackson scored 17 and De’Aaron Fox added 16 points and six assists for Sacramento in a loss to the Warriors on Friday.
Mavericks at CLIPPERS (late): Yogi Ferrell made consecutive 3-pointers to spark a big run at the start of the fourth quarter and the Mavericks beat Sacramento 106-99 on Saturday night. Tobias Harris and Danilo Gallinari each scored 24 points in their first game together, and the Clippers stayed with a simple motion offense that led to a season-high 33 fast-break points in a win over Chicago on Saturday.
