Magic 102, Bulls 89
Nikola Vucevic had 24 points and rookie Mario Hezonja had a career-high 21 points, leading the Orlando Magic to a surprising easy 102-89 victory over the slumping Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.
The Bulls (30-30) lost their fourth consecutive game. It was the 15th straight game in which they surrendered 100 points or more. They gave up 129 points to the Heat in Miami on Tuesday. They never seriously challenged the Magic in the second half.
Hornets 119, 76ers 99
Kemba Walker scored 30 points, nine in a pivotal second-half run, as the Charlotte Hornets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 119-99 on Wednesday night.
Cody Zeller added 15 points and four blocked shots, and Marvin Williams contributed 14 points and nine rebounds for the Hornets, who won for the eighth time in 10 games to improve to 32-28, the sixth-best record in the Eastern Conference.
Celtics 116, Portland 93
The surging Boston Celtics captured their 12th straight home win and did it by blowing out a sizzling opponent on Wednesday night.
The Celtics went on a 41-15 tear in the final 2:52 of the first half and through the third quarter and ran to a 116-93 victory over Portland, ending the Trail Blazers' six-game road winning streak and handing the Blazers only their third loss in their last 15 games overall.
Raptors 104, Jazz 94
Kyle Lowry scored a game-high 32 points as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Utah Jazz 104-94 for their franchise-best 11th consecutive home victory.
Lowry, who was rested in Sunday's loss in Detroit, showed no rust from his four-day layoff. He shot 13-for-20 from the field while adding four rebounds and five assists.
