Goran Dragic scored 33 points and hit a career-high seven 3-pointers to lead Miami to its 11th straight victory. Hassan Whiteside had 19 points and 13 rebounds, and the Heat shot 53.6 percent (15 for 28) from 3-point range.

It wasn’t enough to prevent the Clippers from a third straight defeat against the Raptors and their seventh in eight games in Toronto.

Jazz 120, Hawks 95

ATLANTA

Gordon Hayward scored 30 points and Utah broke open a close game with 10 straight points in the third quarter to beat Atlanta.
