NBA-Highlights of Monday's NBA games

Dec 2 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Monday's National Basketball Association games. - - - Spurs 102, Hawks 100 Tim Duncan hit the game-winning basket with four-10ths of a second to go, giving the San Antonio Spurs a 102-100 win over the Atlanta Hawks. The 37-year-old turned in a vintage performance that included 23 points and 21 rebounds. The Spurs (15-3) earn their 16th consecutive victory over the Hawks in San Antonio. The last time Atlanta won in the Alamo City was Feb. 15, 1997. The Hawks (9-10) worked hard to get first-year head coach Mike Budenholzer the win. It was his first trip back to San Antonio, where he spent 19 years, first as a video coordinator and as Spurs coach Gregg Popovich's lead assistant. - - - Trail Blazers 106, Pacers 102 The Portland Trail Blazers overcame a 43-point performance by Indiana Pacers forward Paul George, breaking open a tight game with a fourth-quarter run, then holding on for a victory. LaMarcus Aldridge and point guard Damian Lillard combined for 54 points for Portland (15-3), who never led until the fourth quarter. Aldridge collected 28 points and 10 rebounds and Lillard scored 26 points for the Trail Blazers. George's career-high included five three-pointers in the final three minutes but Indiana (16-2) saw their seven-game win streak end. - - - Pelicans 131, Bulls 128 (Triple overtime) Jrue Holiday's driving layup and three-point play with 2.6 seconds left in the third overtime period gave the New Orleans Pelicans a marathon victory over the Chicago Bulls. Chicago forward Mike Dunleavy missed a potential tying three-pointer at the buzzer and the Bulls (7-9) lost for the first time at home this season, and are now 1-4 since losing guard Derrick Rose to a season-ending knee injury. Ryan Anderson topped New Orleans with 36 points and New Orleans (9-8) won their third straight, all on the road. - - - Jazz 109, Rockets 103 Gordon Hayward snapped out of a slump and rookie Trey Burke had a career night as the suddenly hot Utah Jazz beat the Houston Rockets. Hayward scored a season-high 29 points and Burke totaled career bests with 21 points and six assists in the victory, their first consecutive triumph of the season. Guard James Harden scored a game-high 37 points for the Rockets (13-6), who saw their five-game winning streak snapped. - - - Wizards 98, Magic 80 Trevor Ariza scored 24 points, point guard John Wall had 16 points and 13 assists and the Washington Wizards posted their largest win of the season. The Wizards have won seven of nine games. At 9-9, Washington own a .500 record for the first time since Nov. 3, 2009, when the team started the season 2-2. (Editing by Peter Rutherford)
