Warriors 123, Wizards 115

WASHINGTON — In a rare instance of double triple-doubles, Baron Davis and the Golden State Warriors got the better of Caron Butler and the Washington Wizards. Davis had 33 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds, Stephen Jackson scored 28 points, and Golden State ended Washington’s six-game winning streak. Butler, coming off a career-high 39-point effort Wednesday, did his best to keep Washington unbeaten without sidelined All-Star Gilbert Arenas, but it wasn’t quite enough. Butler finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, while Antawn Jamison had 30 points and 12 rebounds. Davis and Butler are the first pair of NBA opponents with triple-doubles in the same game in more than 41⁄2 years. Orlando’s Tracy McGrady and New Jersey’s Jason Kidd did it on Feb. 23, 2003.

BOSTON — Kevin Garnett had 21 points and 11 rebounds to lead the new Big Three in its first game against the rival Lakers, and Paul Pierce added 20 points and nine assists to help Boston beat Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant scored 28 points for Los Angeles, which got no help from having California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting courtside. Instead, the Celtics fired up the crowd for the renewal of the rivalry by putting a muscle-bound clip of Schwarzenegger’s movie “Predator” on the scoreboard. Kendrick Perkins had 21 points and nine rebounds for Boston, which improved to 10-1 overall and 7-0 at home. Ray Allen had 18 points, and Rajon Rondo 10 assists for the Celtics.
