NBA-Highlights from Saturday's NBA games

Nov 14 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights from National Basketball Association games on Saturday: - - - - Clippers 101, Pistons 96 Forward Blake Griffin had 34 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, while guard Jamal Crawford scored a season-high 37 points to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 101-96 victory over the Detroit Pistons. Forward Ersan Ilyasova and point guard Reggie Jackson both scored 20 points for the Pistons, while center Andre Drummond finished with 18 points and 19 rebounds. Clippers guard Austin Rivers, who finished with 13 points, nailed a three-point jumper with 2:34 remaining to lift his side to a 93-90 lead they never relinquished. - - Wizards 108, Magic 99 Forward Kris Humphries scored 23 points and sank three of his five three-pointers in the fourth quarter as the Washington Wizards snapped a three-game losing streak with a 108-99 win over the Orlando Magic. Guard Garrett Temple matched his career high with 18 points for the Wizards, who pulled ahead with an 8-0 run for a 94-90 lead. Guard John Wall finished with 15 points and 11 assists. Center Nikola Vucevic had 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Magic. Guard Evan Fournier scored 18 points, Elfrid Payton 17, and forward Aaron Gordon added 12. - - Mavericks 110, Rockets 98 Raymond Felton and Charlie Villanueva led a makeshift starting lineup to a 110-98 victory for the Dallas Mavericks over the Houston Rockets. Felton (23 points) and Villanueva (19 points) led six Mavericks in double figures as Dallas rested starters Dirk Nowitzki, Chandler Parsons and Wesley Matthews following a win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. - - Spurs 92, 76ers 83 LaMarcus Aldridge had 17 points and 19 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs received double-figure scoring from four of their five starters in beating the Philadelphia 76ers. Spurs guard Tony Parker and French compatriot Boris Diaw stood at half court before the game with their team mates as a moment of silence was observed for the victims of Friday's attacks in Paris. The French national anthem was then played as the lights of the arena were kept low in tribute. San Antonio played without Kawhi Leonard (respiratory infection) and Manu Ginobili (adductor tightness) but still had enough firepower to keep Philadelphia winless after 10 games. - - Suns 105, Nuggets 81 Phoenix guard Eric Bledsoe scored 30 points in three quarters as the Suns had an easy 105-81 win over the Denver Nuggets. Bledsoe had outscored Denver's five starters 30-26 when he departed at the end of three quarters with the Suns leading 88-54. He added seven rebounds, four assists and two steals. Center Tyson Chandler added 11 points and eight rebounds while Mirza Teletovic scored 11 points for the Suns. Will Barton had 19 points and 12 rebounds off the bench to lead Denver. - - Bucks 108, Cavaliers 105 (2OT) LeBron James scored 37 points but it wasn't enough for the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose eight-game winning streak was snapped with a 108-105 double-overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. James scored Cleveland's last six points in regulation and blew right by Bucks guard Khris Middleton for a game-tying dunk with 16.5 seconds to play. James missed a potential game-winner as time expired but he scored four of the Cavaliers' seven points in the second overtime. However, Milwaukee got three-pointers from forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and guard Greivis Vasquez, and went six-for-six from the free-throw line to close it out. - - Warriors 107, Nets 99 (OT) Reserve swingman Andre Iguodala sent the game to overtime with a game-tying three-pointer with 5.9 seconds remaining in regulation and the Golden State Warriors began the extra session with a 10-0 flurry, allowing them to outlast the Brooklyn Nets 107-99. Golden State became just the 11th team in NBA history to open a season 11-0. Brooklyn, which fell to 1-3 on its road trip and 1-9 overall, had two shots at a win, but point guard Jarrett Jack misfired on an 18-footer and center Brook Lopez failed to convert a lob right in front of the rim as time expired. The Warriors won despite a 13-for-31 shooting effort from star point guard Stephen Curry, who led all scorers with 34 points. Curry missed 11 of his 16 three-point attempts.
