Clippers 112, Sixers 100
Chris Paul scored a season-high 30 points and DeAndre Jordan added 19 points and 20 rebounds as Los Angeles defeated Philadelphia.

Suns 100, Mavericks 98
Devin Booker drilled a turnaround jumper at the buzzer to lift Phoenix to a victory over Dallas at American Airlines Center.
The Suns finished the game with an 8-2 kick to snap a two-game losing streak. Booker scored all eight points to finish with a game-high 36 on 12-of-20 shooting.
Spurs 107, Warriors 85
Patty Mills scored 21 points, all in the first half, to lead San Antonio to a victory over reeling Golden State at AT&T Center in a battle between the top teams in the NBA.
The Spurs led by 20 points at halftime and was never threatened in the second half. The win pulled San Antonio within a half-game of Golden State for the top record in the league and the Western Conference.
Bucks 102, Timberwolves 95
Once again, defense saved the day for Milwaukee, who extended its winning streak to a season-high six games with a victory over Minnesota at the Bradley Center.
The Bucks recorded six defensive stops over the final 2:48 to hold off a Timberwolves team that trailed by one point to start the fourth quarter and erased a nine-point deficit to get within two on Ricky Rubio's jumper with 2:49 to play.
Heat 104, Raptors 89
Dion Waiters scored 20 points as the Miami Heat -- the hottest team in the NBA for nearly two months -- cruised to a victory over Toronto at AmericanAirlines Arena.
Miami improved to 21-4 since Jan. 17. Toronto is 10-15 since Jan. 17.
Pelicans 125, Hornets 122 (overtime)

Davis erupted for 46 points and 21 rebounds and was at his best in the clutch, lifting the Pelicans to an overtime victory over Charlotte at the Spectrum Center.
Cavaliers 116, Magic 104
LeBron James did what he always does -- dominate the game -- but this time Cleveland followed his lead perfectly.
James had 24 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds in leading a well-balanced attack that beat Orlando Magic and snapped a troubling, three-game losing streak.
Wizards 125, Trail Blazers 124 (OT)
Markieff Morris sank a 17-foot baseline jump shot with .4 of a second remaining in overtime to give Washington a victory over Portland at Moda Center.
