76ERS 117, NUGGETS
110
NEW ORLEANS -- JJ Redick scored
a season-high 34 points, Jimmy Butler had
22 and the new-look Philadelphia
76ers beat the Denver
Nuggets 117-110 on Friday night.
Tobias Harris had
14 points and eight rebounds in his first game for Philadelphia and Joel Embiid added
15 points and 12 rebounds despite playing with stomach flu.
Nikola Jokic led
Denver with 27 points and Jamal Murray had
23. The Nuggets were missing Gary Harris and Paul Millsap.
The Sixers made a flurry of moves before Thursday's trade
deadline, acquiring Harris, Boban
Marjanovic and Mike Scott from
the Clippers, James Ennis from Houston and Jonathon
Simmons from Orlando.
BUCKS 122, MAVERICKS 107
DALLAS -- Giannis
Antetokounmpo had 29 points and 17 rebounds and Milwaukee
rolled to its sixth straight victory, beating retooling Dallas.
Antetokounmpo was 13 of 19 from the field and got the upper
hand again in his second meeting with fellow Euro star Luka Doncic,
the Dallas rookie sensation who scored 20 points. He's the only original
starter remaining because of two trades that were more about the future than
the present.
Brook Lopez added
20 points for the Bucks. Trey Burke,
one of four players to join Dallas from New York in a deal that also
brought Kristaps
Porzingis and sent three Dallas starters to the Knicks, scored
18 points.
WARRIORS 117, SUNS 107
PHOENIX -- Stephen Curry shook
off a poor shooting performance by scoring 10 of his 20 points in the fourth
quarter to help Golden State beat Phoenix for the 18th consecutive time.
Klay Thompson scored
25 points for the Warriors; Kevin Durant added
21 points and DeMarcus
Cousins 18.
Kelly Oubre
Jr. scored 25 points, and Deandre Ayton 23
for Phoenix.
PELICANS 122, TIMBERWOLVES 117
Anthony Davis,
Playing for first time since asking to be traded, had 32 points, nine rebounds
and three blocks in 25 minutes, and New Orleans beat Minnesota.
Jrue Holiday had
27 points and nine assists and Kenrich
Williams had 19 points -- and they led the Pelicans offense in
the fourth quarter, when Davis was kept on the bench despite the fact that the
teams were separated by as little as one basket several times in the waning
minutes. Instead of playing Davis, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry sent in Julius Randle,
who came through with a pair of inside baskets and clutch free throws in the
final minutes.
Karl-Anthony
Towns scored 32 points for Minnesota.
KINGS 102, HEAT 96
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Buddy Hield scored
23 points and made a pair of free throws with 17 seconds left, and Sacramento
rallied from 11 down in the fourth quarter to beat Miami.
Bogdan
Bogdanovic added 16 points, and Harrison
Barnes had 12 in his Kings debut after being acquired from
Dallas as part of a three-team trade.
Josh
Richardson scored 21 points, and Dwyane Wade had
15 for Miami, all coming after the 12-time All-Star was involved in a scary
fall with 15 seconds left in the first quarter. Wade landed awkwardly while
going for a rebound and his head bounced off the floor.
PISTONS 120, KNICKS 103
DETROIT -- Andre
Drummond had 29 points and 20 rebounds and Detroit handed New
York its 15th straight loss.
Blake Griffin scored
26 points for the Pistons, who traded Reggie
Bullock and Stanley
Johnson in deadline deals but kept enough of their top players to
make a postseason berth still plausible.
Dennis Smith
Jr. scored 31 points for the Knicks. They have lost 28 of their last
30.
WIZARDS 119, CAVALIERS 106
WASHINGTON -- Bobby Portis scored
30 points in his Washington debut, Bradley Beal added
25 points and 12 assists, and the Wizards beat Cleveland.
Portis was acquired along with Jabari Parker on
Thursday in a trade that sent Otto Porter
Jr. to Chicago.
Collin Sexton led
Cleveland with 27 points. Kevin Love returned
after missing 50 games following left foot surgery. He started and played the
first six minutes, scoring four points. Cleveland has lost 21 of 24.
BULLS 125, NETS 106
NEW YORK -- Lauri
Markkanen had 31 points and 18 rebounds to lead Chicago past
Brooklyn.
Markkanen scored at least 30 points in his third straight
game. Zach LaVine added
23 points, and Otto Porter Jr. had 18 in his first game with the Bulls. D'Angelo
Russell led the Nets with 23 points.
