Friday’s other NBA Games


Bucks 96, Mavericks 95

MILWAUKEE

Khris Middleton’s driving layup with less than 10 seconds to play carried the Bucks over the Mavericks. Middleton scored 27 points, John Henson 16 and Michael Carter-Williams added 15 points and a season-high 12 rebounds as Milwaukee snapped Dallas’ six-game winning streak against them. Dirk Nowitzki scored 20 points and Devin Harris came off the bench for a season-high 19 for Dallas.

Spurs 100, Knicks 99

SAN ANTONIO

Kawhi Leonard had 19 points and 12 rebounds and the Spurs held off Kristaps Porzingis and the Knicks to remain undefeated at home. San Antonio won its franchise-record 22nd straight home game to open the season, but this was its most difficult victory yet. Porzingis had 28 points and 11 rebounds but was on the bench when the Knicks started a 14-4 run to pull within 96-94 with 1:27 remaining. New York’s Arron Afflalo hit his second 3-pointer in the final 2 minutes to make it 98-97 Spurs. After Tony Parker’s layup for San Antonio, Porzingis threw down an alley-oop dunk. Parker missed a jumper, and then Jose Calderon missed a contested 3-pointer from the left corner.

Pacers 91, Pelicans 86

NEW ORLEANS

Ian Mahinmi had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and the Pacers posted a win over a reeling Pelicans team that lost Anthony Davis to a lower back bruise early in the game. Davis was hurt diving into the stands to stop a ball from going out of bounds on the defensive end. He went to the locker room soon after and never returned.

Grizzlies 91, Nuggets 84

MEMPHIS, TENN.

Zach Randolph scored 16 of his 24 points in the second half and Mario Chalmers made a pair of 3-pointers in the final 1:30 to lead the Grizzlies. Chalmers scored 12 points in the game, with eight in the last 90 seconds to keep the Nuggets at bay. Jeff Green finished with 16 points, Matt Barnes scored 15 and Marc Gasol had 12 points and five steals.

Raptors 97, Wizards 88

WASHINGTON

DeMar DeRozan scored 21 of his season-high 35 points in the second half, Kyle Lowry had 21 points and 10 assists, and the Raptors beat the Wizards. The Raptors overcame a season-high 23 turnovers, taking control with an 18-4 run that gave them a 69-59 lead with 2:40 to play in the third quarter. John Wall scored 21 points as Washington (15-19) lost for the fifth time in six games.

Magic 83, Nets 77

NEW YORK
