NBA ROUNDUP Hawks tie franchise record with win Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 22, 2015 @ 2:00 am By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 22, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Social News ATLANTA — DeMarre Carroll and Jeff Teague each scored 17 points, Kyle Korver dunked for the first time in more than two years, and the Atlanta Hawks tied a franchise record with their 14th straight victory, routing the Indiana Pacers 110-91 on Wednesday night. With the victory, the Hawks improved to a stunning 35-8 and Mike Budenholzer clinched a spot as the Eastern Conference coach in next month's All-Star game in New York City. Budenholzer could be taking several players with him. The Hawks romped to their 28th victory in the last 30 games, showing the kind of teamwork that has become their trademark in a season that no one saw coming. Ten players had scored by halftime. All five starters were in double figures, and Pero Antic also had 12. CJ Miles led the Pacers with 18 points. Indiana shot just 39.7 percent. THUNDER 105, WIZARDS 103, OT : At Washington, Russell Westbrook drove for the winning layup with 0.8 seconds left in overtime, and Kevin Durant scored 34 points in Oklahoma City's fourth consecutive victory. Durant and Westbrook scored all 13 of the Thunder's points in the extra period, including Durant's dunk over Marcin Gortat and Westbrook's uncontested layup off of an inbounds play after Oklahoma City had called timeout with 3.6 seconds remaining. Westbrook finished with 32 points and led a third-quarter comeback that made up a 12-point halftime deficit. Durant, the D.C. native whose 2016 free agency is much anticipated in his hometown, added seven rebounds. PISTONS 128, MAGIC 118 : At Auburn Hills, Mich., Brandon Jennings had 24 points and a career-high 21 assists, and Detroit held on for the victory. Andre Drummond added 26 points and 16 rebounds for the Pistons, who have won 12 of 15. Detroit nearly blew a 21-point third-quarter lead, but Jennings helped the Pistons close it out in the fourth. Greg Monroe had 24 points and 10 rebounds and Kyle Singler 14 points for Detroit. GRIZZLIES 92, RAPTORS 86 : At Memphis, Tenn., Marc Gasol scored 26 points for Memphis, and Zach Randolph had 19 points and 13 rebounds. The Grizzlies broke open a close game with a 13-3 run midway through the fourth quarter. There were 14 ties and six lead changes for the night. Toronto had five players score in double figures, but dropped to 3-8 in its last 11 games. Lou Williams scored 21 points, and Kyle Lowry had 20. CAVALIERS 106, JAZZ 92 : At Cleveland, LeBron James scored 26 points, Kevin Love added 19 and the rejuvenated Cavaliers earned their fourth consecutive victory. Shaking off a flu bug that forced him to miss practice Tuesday and also slowed Kyrie Irving, James added nine assists and seven rebounds. The Cavs are 4-1 since the four-time MVP returned after missing eight games with a strained back and knee. Enes Kanter had 24 points and 17 rebounds for Utah, which has dropped five of six. Gordon Hayward scored 14 points. PELICANS 96, LAKERS 80 : At New Orleans, Anthony Davis scored 29 points and blocked four shots in his return from a sprained toe, leading the Pelicans to the win. Eric Gordon had 17 points and a season-high 10 assists for New Orleans. Tyreke Evans added 19 points and Quincy Pondexter finished with 12. Lakers star Kobe Bryant returned after missing two games as part of coach Byron Scott's plan to give the 36-year-old guard extra rest this season. He scored 14 points on 6-of-14 shooting. MAVERICKS 98, TIMBERWOLVES 75 : At Minneapolis, Chandler Parsons scored 22 points, and Dallas hit 11 3-pointers. Parsons made 9 of 13 shots and Dirk Nowitzki added 16 points and nine rebounds in 26 minutes for the Mavericks (30-13), who crept in front of idle Houston (29-13) for sole possession of fourth place in the demanding Western Conference. Andrew Wiggins had 18 points for the Timberwolves (7-34), who tied a franchise mark for worst record halfway through the season. Nikola Pekovic scored 14 points in 23 minutes in his return from a 31-game absence for a right ankle injury. HORNETS 78, HEAT 76 : At Charlotte, N.C., Kemba Walker scored 15 points, Bismack Biyombo had 12 points and 12 rebounds, and the surging Hornets held on for the win. Charlotte won for the eighth time in nine games despite going without a field goal in the final seven minutes. The Hornets had a 56-41 rebounding edge against the Heat, who played without Hassan Whiteside and Luol Deng. Miami had a chance to win the game on its final possession, but Chris Bosh missed a 3-pointer from the top of the key. Mario Chalmers ran down the loose ball and fired up another 3 that missed from corner. KNICKS 98, 76ERS 91 : At Philadelphia, Carmelo Anthony had 27 points and 11 rebounds, powering the Knicks to the road win. The worst team in the Eastern Conference is suddenly on a hot streak. New York snapped its 16-game losing streak Monday with a win against New Orleans and made it two straight with the victory against the lowly Sixers. Michael Carter-Williams led Philadelphia with 27 points and seven assists. Robert Covington scored 17, and Jerami Grant had eight blocks. NETS 103, KINGS 100 : At Sacramento, Calif., Brook Lopez had 22 points and six blocks and the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Sacramento Kings for only their second win in the last 10. The Nets had a 23-point lead in the opening half, but the Kings eventually cut it to two late in the fourth quarter. Some clutch shooting by Joe Johnson helped preserve the victory for Brooklyn. DeMarcus Cousin had 28 points and 14 rebounds for Sacramento, who dropped its fifth straight. WARRIORS 126, ROCKETS 113 : At Oakland, Calif., Stephen Curry got involved in a rare altercation before finishing with 22 points and 10 assists, and the Golden State Warriors held off the Houston Rockets for their franchise-record 17th straight home win. The typically mild-mannered Curry ran at Trevor Ariza after the Rockets forward bumped him on the way down court early in the third quarter. Curry had to be held back by teammates, and officials called a technical foul on Ariza following a video review. The Warriors had already grabbed control by outscoring Houston 30-13 in the second quarter. They led by 30 in the third before the Rockets' reserves made the final margin closer.
