TUESDAY’s OTHER NBA GAMES

Wizards 92, Timberwolves 89

MINNEAPOLIS

Otto Porter Jr. hit a 22-foot jumper with 25 seconds remaining to lift the Washington Wizards to a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Washington trailed for nearly the entire fourth quarter. After Porter’s jumper, Minnesota had two shots at the other end but couldn’t convert. The Wizards got the ball back with 4.2 seconds remaining when the ball went out of bounds off Timberwolves forward Taj Gibson. Officials originally ruled that Minnesota maintained possession, but a review overturned the call and gave the ball to Washington. Porter led Washington with 22 points, and Kelly Oubre had 16. Jodie Meeks and Mike Scott each scored 12 points. Karl-Anthony Towns had 20 points and 15 rebounds for Minnesota for his league-leading 18th double-double.

Suns 104, Bulls 99

CHICAGO

Devin Booker scored 33 points, and the Phoenix Suns held off the Chicago Bulls. Booker looked just fine after sitting out a game because of inflammation in his right big toe, nailing five 3-pointers and grabbing nine rebounds. T.J. Warren scored 25 for Phoenix, and Alex Len tied a career high with 18 rebounds. The Suns dominated on the glass 57-41 while snapping a three-game losing streak. The rebuilding Bulls are a league-worst 3-16 after dropping their sixth straight. Justin Holiday made six 3-pointers on his way to 25 points for Chicago. Kris Dunn added 24 points, hitting all four from long range, and eight assists.
