Spurs Improve to 13-0 on Road

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points and the San Antonio Spurs improved to 13-0 on the road this season with a 105-91 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.

Leonard hit 11 of 15 shots after not scoring at all in the first quarter and Patty Mills scored 15 points off the bench for the Spurs (18-4), who played without Tony Parker after he bruised his left knee against Milwaukee on Wednesday night. San Antonio overcame a slow start to shoot 52.7 percent.

KNICKS 114, HEAT 103

MIAMI (AP) — Carmelo Anthony matched a season high with 35 points, and New York beat injury-ravaged Miami for its fourth straight victory.

Kristaps Porzingis had 14 points and 12 rebounds for New York, which is three games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2012-13 season. The Knicks lost Derrick Rose to back spasms in the third quarter.

Goran Dragic scored 29 points and Hassan Whiteside finished with 23 points and 14 rebounds for the Heat, who fell to 2-8 at home.

MAGIC 124, WIZARDS 116

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elfrid Payton scored 22 of his career-high 25 points in the first half and Orlando overcame John Wall’s 52-point performance to beat Washington.

Wall had the highest-scoring game of his career and kept Washington in it with 33 points in the second half as the Wizards cut the lead below 10 in the fourth quarter. The guard made 18 of 31 from the field and added eight assists.

PISTONS 102, BULLS 91

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Tobias Harris scored 22 points and Detroit beat Chicago.

Andre Drummond added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Pistons, who won for the fourth time in five games.

Jimmy Butler scored 32 points and Dwyane Wade added 19 points and seven assists for Chicago, which lost its third straight. The Bulls were playing their fourth game in five nights and struggled in the fourth quarter.

GRIZZLIES 96, 76ERS 91

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Marc Gasol had 26 points and 12 rebounds, and Memphis finally put away short-handed Philadelphia.

JAZZ 112, SUNS 105

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gordon Hayward scored 28 points and Utah held on to beat Phoenix for its seventh victory in eight games.

Rudy Gobert scored a career-high 22 points and had 11 rebounds and blocked four shots for the Jazz, who recovered after the Suns erased their big lead to tie it at 103.

Hayward had 11 third-quarter points to reach 20-plus points for the ninth consecutive game — the first Jazz player to do so since Carlos Boozer in 2007-08.

The Jazz sprinted out to a 25-10 lead thanks to an 8-0 run and never trailed. They led 65-45 at halftime after Hayward’s pull-up 3-pointer highlighted a half-closing 11-2 stretch. The 65 points matched a Jazz season high for a half.

Devin Booker scored 21 points for the Suns.
