Thunder 126, Wizards 115, OT

OKLAHOMA CITY

Russell Westbrook scored 14 of his 35 points in overtime and posted his fourth consecutive triple-double to help the Thunder defeat the Wizards. Westbrook added 14 rebounds and 11 assists for his ninth triple-double this season and the 46th of his career. The Thunder have won all four games during his triple-double streak, and he heads into December averaging a triple-double on the season. Former Thunder coach Scott Brooks returned as Washington’s coach, and the Oklahoma City crowd greeted him warmly.

Spurs 94, Mavericks 87

DALLAS

Patty Mills scored 15 of his team-high 23 points in the fourth quarter and Kawhi Leonard added 21 points, helping the Spurs rally for a win over the Mavericks. San Antonio became just the third team to start the season 11-0 on the road, following last year’s Warriors (14-0) and the 1969-70 Knicks (12-0). Wesley Matthews had a season-high 26 points for the Mavericks, and Harrison Barnes added 17. Dallas had a 60-47 lead in the third quarter after a 13-0 run in which the Spurs went 13 consecutive possessions and nearly seven minutes without a point.

Lakers 96, Bulls 90

CHICAGO

Julius Randle made a strong move against Nikola Mirotic for a tiebreaking layup with 45.1 seconds left, and the Lakers held off the Bulls for a gritty victory. Randle had 13 points and matched a career high with 20 rebounds as Los Angeles bounced back from an ugly 105-88 loss at New Orleans on Tuesday night. Lou Williams and Jordan Clarkson scored 18 points apiece, and Larry Nance Jr. finished with 12 points and 11 boards.

Knicks 106, Timberwolves 104

MINNEAPOLIS

Kristaps Porzingis had 29 points and eight rebounds in a thrilling duel with Karl-Anthony Towns, helping the Knicks beat the Timberwolves. Carmelo Anthony capped a quiet night with a game-winning 18-footer over Andrew Wiggins with 2.3 seconds to play, helping the Knicks avoid what would have been an epic collapse in the fourth quarter. Towns had a career-high 47 points and 18 rebounds for the Wolves.

Raptors 120, Grizzlies 105

TORONTO

Kyle Lowry had 29 points and eight assists, DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points and the Raptors ended the Grizzlies’ six-game road winning streak. Cory Joseph added 16 points off the bench for the Raptors, who defeated Memphis for the third straight time and for the sixth time in their last seven meetings. It was the fourth straight victory overall for the Raptors, their longest winning streak of the season. Andrew Harrison had 21 points and Troy Daniels added 19 off the bench for the injury-riddled Grizzlies.

Pistons 121, Celtics 114

BOSTON

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 25 points and Tobias Harris had 21 to lead balanced scoring that carried the Pistons over the Celtics. Andre Drummond added 20 points and 17 rebounds, one night after he was ejected in the second quarter of a victory at Charlotte for a flagrant-2 foul. Isaiah Thomas paced the Celtics with 27 points, and Kelly Olynyk scored a season-high 19. Boston had won five of seven. Marcus Morris had 20 points and Ish Smith 19 for the Pistons.

Kings-76ers, ppd.

PHILADELPHIA

A scheduled game between the Kings and 76ers was postponed by the NBA because of condensation on the court at the Wells Fargo Center. The game, which was slated to start at 7 p.m., was called off at 8:03 p.m. A makeup date was not immediately announced. The Flyers hosted an NHL game at the arena Tuesday night and the ice surface remained under the basketball court — standard procedure at the Wells Fargo Center. However, Wednesday was an unseasonably warm, humid day for late November in Philadelphia, and it likely affected the surface.
