NBA roundup: Green injured as Warriors held to 75 points

The Spurs' fourth straight win came after Green was inadvertently kneed below
the belt by Danny Green in the second quarter, forcing him to the sidelines
for the rest of the game with what was labeled a pelvic contusion. X-rays
taken at the site were negative.

With Draymond Green joining fellow All-Stars Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and
Kevin Durant out of action, the Warriors rallied from a 16-point deficit to
take a 63-61 lead into the final period.

The Spurs held the Warriors to 12 points in the final 12 minutes. Golden
State's 75-point total was its lowest of the season.

Cavaliers 124, Bucks 117

LeBron James recorded his 16th triple-double of the season as host Cleveland
bested Milwaukee.

James scored 40 points on 16-of-29 shooting and added 12 rebounds with 10
assists. Kevin Love started and scored 18 points with seven rebounds in his
first action since breaking his wrist in a Jan. 30 game against Detroit.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 37, and Khris Middleton added 30. The
Bucks shot 51.1 percent from the floor and made 8 of 31 3-pointers but were
outrebounded 42-32 and had no answer for James.

Heat 149, Nuggets 141 (2OT)

James Johnson scored 10 points in the second overtime to lead Miami past
visiting Denver.

With the teams tied 131-all after the first overtime period, Johnson hit a
layup, two treys and a dunk to lift the Heat to the win in their highest
point-total game in franchise history.

Johnson finished with a team-high 31 points. Kelly Olynyk had 30, Wayne
Ellington 23 and Josh Richardson 17. Denver was led by Nikola Jokic with 34
points. Wilson Chandler had 26, Jamal Murray 23 and Will Barton 22. Miami's
win coupled with Milwaukee's loss in Cleveland moved the Heat into seventh in
the Eastern Conference playoff race, a half-game ahead of the Bucks.

76ers 108, Hornets 94

Joel Embiid scored 25 points and grabbed 19 rebounds to carry host
Philadelphia past Charlotte.

Though Embiid committed nine turnovers, he recorded his fourth straight
double-double and his team-leading 37th of the season. Embiid also became the
first Sixer to come up with at least 20 points and 19 rebounds in consecutive
games since Charles Barkley in 1991.

Ben Simmons had a triple-double consisting of 11 points, 15 assists and 12
rebounds. Simmons has dished out at least 10 assists in 19 games this season

Pacers 110, Lakers 100

Myles Turner scored 21 points and Victor Oladipo added 20 to power Indiana to
victory over Los Angeles in Indianapolis.

Turner, who made 9 of 15 shots, had missed the previous game with a left ankle
sprain. Turner added seven rebounds. Oladipo hit 8 of 15 from the field.

Rookie forward Kyle Kuzma was high for the Lakers with 27 points, making 10 of
18 shots. Brook Lopez scored 23 on 10-of-15 shooting and Julius Randle added
21 points and a team-high nine rebounds for L.A. Kuzma and Lopez each had
eight rebounds.

their past six games. De'Aaron Fox tallied 16 points, Justin Jackson added 15
and Skal Labissiere had 10.

Knicks 110, Bulls 92

A resurgent Tim Hardaway Jr. had 22 points to lead New York to its first
back-to-back wins since late January with a victory over visiting Chicago.

Hardaway, who went through a cold streak in early February, topped 20 points
for the fifth time in eight games (with 19 points in two of the other games),
going 7-for-15 from the field with four 3-pointers. He had 17 of his points in
the third quarter, when the Knicks broke the game open.

Cristiano Felicio had 17 points and Antonio Blakeney and Bobby Portis both had
16 off the bench to lead the Bulls, who were without three of their most
important players -- Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen -- as they
lost for the third time in four games.

Nets 118, Grizzlies 115

Reserve Caris LeVert and Allen Crabbe scored 22 points apiece as Brooklyn held
on to defeat visiting Memphis.

LeVert produced his sixth game with at least 20 points while Crabbe posted his

points and 12 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season. D'Angelo

who lost their 15th straight road game.
