SAN ANTONIO: Austin Daye scored a season-best 22 points as the Spurs won their 14th consecutive game 113-91 while handing the Sixers their 25th straight defeat.

Philadelphia (15-56) can match the NBA record for longest losing streak on Thursday at Houston.

Daye, playing only his fourth game since the Spurs acquired him in a trade with Toronto on Feb. 20, hit six of 10 three-point shots, grabbed six rebounds and made two blocks.

Tim Duncan scored 19 for the NBA-best Spurs (54-16).

Rookie guard Michael Carter-Williams and Thaddeus Young led Philadelphia with 17 points apiece.

Heat 93 Trail Blazers 91: The Miami Heat held off a furious rally by the Portland Trail Blazers to squeak out a victory.

LeBron James, playing despite a sore back and an ankle injury, led all scorers with 32 points, including the game-winning layup with 11 seconds left.

The Heat saw a 17-point, fourth-quarter lead disappear and needed a game-saving block by Chris Bosh as Portland’s Damian Lillard drove the basket in the final two seconds looking to tie the score.

Lillard scored 19 for Portland (45-26), who have now lost seven of their past 11 games.

The Heat (48-21) are 12-7 in games without Dwyane Wade, who sat out Monday’s game due to an ankle injury.

Bulls 89 Pacers 77: Taj Gibson scored 23 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Kirk Hinrich added 18 points for the Bulls (40-31). Joakim Noah finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.

Indiana (51-20) missed the chance to clinch the Central Division title, although that seems to be a formality. Their lead atop the Eastern Conference was trimmed to two games over Miami.

Thunder 117 Nuggets 96: Kevin Durant scored 27 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a victory over the Denver Nuggets.

Durant has now scored at least 25 points in 35 consecutive games and is five away from tying Michael Jordan’s all-time record since the NBA merger in 1976. Durant also had eight assists and shot 10-for-21 from the field.

Oklahoma City (52-18) played without Russell Westbrook, out with a knee injury.

The injury-plagued Nuggets (32-39) were never really in contention the entire night.

Rockets 100 Bobcats 89: James Harden scored 31 points as the Houston Rockets extended their winning streak to four games with a victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Harden scored 14 of his points in the third quarter, when the Rockets pushed a four-point halftime lead to 78-68 after three quarters.

Dwight Howard returned after missing the previous three games with a left ankle strain and finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds in 32 minutes as the Rockets (48-22) remain in the No. 4 spot in the Western Conference playoff race.

Suns 102 Hawks 95: Goran Dragic used a combination of outside jumpers and drives to the basket to score 19 points, helping the Phoenix Suns beat the Atlanta Hawks and move a step closer to the playoffs.

Dragic scored the last six points of the third quarter to punctuate an 18-9 run and send the Suns to their fourth consecutive victory.

Phoenix (42-29) are eighth in the West and in a tight race with Dallas and Memphis for the final two playoff spots.

Grizzlies 109 Timberwolves 92: Mike Conley scored 23 points, Zach Randolph added 17 and Marc Gasol registered a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves (34-35) lost for the 16th time in their past 18 meetings with the Grizzlies (42-28).

Minnesota were led by forward Kevin Love’s 16 points.

Memphis survived a scare late in the third quarter when Conley fell to the floor after apparently re-injuring his ankle. Conley, who missed seven games in early February after spraining his right ankle, returned to start the fourth quarter, however.

Pelicans 109 Nets 104: Anthony Morrow overcame a frigid shooting night to bury a pair of three-pointers in overtime, and New Orleans got a season-high 33 points from Tyreke Evans to erase a 22-point, third-quarter deficit and defeat the Brooklyn Nets.

Morrow’s first long-range jumper came just seconds after coach Monty Williams tried to pull him from the game for his 2-of-10 shooting but had the substitution disallowed.

Anthony Davis, who scored 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, had a monster defensive play down the stretch for the Pelicans (30-40), swallowing up a layup attempt by Mason Plumlee.

The Nets (37-32) were paced by Paul Pierce with 24 points and Deron Williams with 23.

Pistons 114 Jazz 94: Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe had double-doubles and the Detroit Pistons ended a four-game Western Conference swing on a positive note by beating the Jazz.

Drummond scored 19 points with 14 rebounds, Monroe contributed 18 points and 11 boards.

Detroit improved to 26-44 and trail eighth-place Atlanta (31-38) by 5.5 games.

Gordon Hayward led all scorers with 32 points and dished out a team-best six assists for Utah (23-48).
