SATURDAY’S GAMES
HOME team in caps.
Pelicans 138, NETS 128 (2OT): Anthony Davis had 44 points and 17 rebounds, Rajon Rondo had a triple-double, and New Orleans recovered after blowing a 28-point lead to beat Brooklyn in two overtimes.
76ERS 112, Clippers 98: Joel Embiid had 29 points and tied a career high with 16 rebounds, and Philadelphia beat Los Angeles for their third straight victory.
Bucks 111, MAGIC 104: Giannis Antetokounpo had 32 points and Jason Terry came off the bench to score 11 points in the second half in Milwaukee’s victory over Orlando.
Wizards, BULLS (late): Washington are without John Wall for the foreseeable future. They head into a road test against the Chicago Bulls, who -- like the Wizards -- continue to play without one of their key contributors -- starting guard Kris Dunn.
Lakers, MAVERICKS (late): The Lakers have won four in a row, which at least has positioned Los Angeles closer to the last playoff spot in the Western Conference than last place. Up next is that last-place team, with the Lakers at the Dallas Mavericks.
Spurs, WARRIORS (late): Patty Mills returns to the area of his collegiate success in an unusual role when the short-handed San Antonio Spurs take on the Golden State Warriors in a nationally televised contest.
Nuggets, SUNS (late): Both Denver and Phoenix added point guards at the trade deadline Thursday, and will meet in Phoenix in the second of back-to-back games for Denver.
