Spurs roll Pelicans, Cavs downed by Charlotte - NBA Highlights

LaMarcus Aldridge poured in a season-high 36 points as San Antonio outlasted New Orleans to remain unbeaten at home on Wednesday.

The Spurs improved to 27-0 at the AT&T Centre this season, setting a record for the best home start ever by a Western Conference team. (Golden State is also unbeaten at home this season but has played just 22 home games.)

The victory also allowed the Spurs to extend their regular-season home victory streak to 36 games.

Kawhi Leonard added 26 points for San Antonio. Anthony Davis paced the Pelicans with 28 points.

Stephen Curry scored 25 of his 51 points in the first quarter and sank an NBA-season-high 11 three-pointers as the Golden State Warriors downed the Washington Wizards 134-121 for their eighth consecutive win.

Curry finished 19-for-28 from the field, including 11-for-16 on three-pointers for his fourth career game with at least 50 points. He tied the Verizon Centre record for most individual points, matching Michael Jordan and Gilbert Arenas.

Draymond Green had 12 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, setting a Warriors single-season record with his 10th triple-double. Klay Thompson added 24 points.

John Wall led the Wizards with a season-high 41 points and 10 assists. Washington lost its second straight and fell for the seventh time in nine games.

With leading scorer Kemba Walker sidelined by a sore left knee, backup Jeremy Lin stepped up to lead Charlotte past Cleveland.

Lin finished with 24 points, eight assists and five rebounds. Marvin Williams added 16 points for Charlotte. Frank Kaminsky had 15 points and six rebounds, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist contributed 11 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.

Kyrie Irving led the Cavs with 26 points. LeBron James added 23, and Kevin Love had 12 points and 12 rebounds.

Mike Scott and Tim Hardaway Jr scored 13 points each and the Hawks led whistle to whistle.

Kent Bazemore, Dennis Schroeder, Thabo Sefolosha and centre Mike Muscala scored 12 points each for the Hawks, who won their second straight game and had eight players reach double figures.

The 76ers, who committed 24 turnovers, were paced by Nik Stauskas with 17 points and Isaiah Canaan with 11.

Kevin Durant scored 37 points, including a game-winning three-pointer with 0.5 seconds left, to lead Oklahoma City to victory.

Russell Westbrook was just as impressive with 24 points, 19 rebounds and 14 assists. It was his eighth triple-double of the season and a career high in rebounds.

Victor Oladipo paced the Magic with 37 points and seven rebounds. Nikola Vucevic and guard Mario Hezonja each scored 16 points for Orlando.

The Celtics nearly blew a 24-point third-quarter lead but held on for their seventh win in the last eight games. Boston earned its sixth consecutive home win.

Isaiah Thomas led a balanced Celtics scoring attack with 17 points and added seven assists and five rebounds.

Reggie Jackson, playing with a jammed right thumb, scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half and dished out seven assists for the Pistons. Detroit's Andrew Drummond posted 16 points and 13 rebounds.

The Pistons, who had several players playing with injuries and lost Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to a groin injury in the first half, dropped their third in the last four games.

Reserve C.J. Miles scored 15 of his 27 points in the second quarter and Indiana built a big lead before halftime on the way to victory.

Miles scored at least 20 points for the ninth time this season, but it was his first 20-point showing since Dec. 23 at Sacramento.

Paul George added 17 while point guard George Hill contributed 13 for Indiana, which won for the fourth time in 11 games.

Brook Lopez scored 18 of his 21 points before halftime but missed five free throws as the Nets lost their fifth straight and 17th in the past 19 home games.

Hassan Whiteside had 10 points, nine rebounds and five blocks in limited playing time, guiding Miami past Dallas.

Whiteside missed the previous six games with a hip injury, and he was not even certain he would play until warming up before the game.

Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki, who finished with 28 points, drilled a deep three-pointer with 17.9 seconds left to keep Dallas alive, down 92-90. However, Raymond Felton missed a three-pointer at the buzzer.

Forced to foul, Dallas put Miami guard and old nemesis Dwyane Wade on the free-throw line with 15.5 seconds left. He made the first but missed the second for a 93-90 lead.
