CHICAGO : Golden State set a franchise record winning streak with its 12th consecutive victory on Saturday, beating Chicago 112-102 with Draymond Green contributing a career-high 31 points.

The Warriors improved to an NBA-leading 17-2, two games ahead of nearest rival Houston — which held on to beat Phoenix — and three games clear in the Pacific Division above the Los Angeles Clippers, who built a big lead, blew it, then pulled away again to defeat New Orleans.

Golden State’s Klay Thompson added 24 points as the Warriors improved to 10-1 on the road. Their 12-game streak outdid the 11-game run they enjoyed during the 1971-72 season.

Jimmy Butler’s 24 points topped the score sheets for the Bulls, who have won only two of their past seven home games.

Houston’s winning streak is a more modest four games after the 100-95 win against Phoenix.

Trevor Ariza and Pat Beverley each scored 19 points for the Rockets, who have showed little ill effect from the absence of injured All-Star center Dwight Howard, winning seven of nine without him.

Houston led by as many as 22 points but that was cut to four with 21.9 seconds remaining. Beverley made three free throws to push it out to seven and effectively end the contest.

Eric Bledsoe led the Suns with 23 points.

Los Angeles’ Blake Griffin scored 30 points — going over 7,000 for his career — to lead the Clippers past New Orleans 120-100.

The Clippers led by 18 points in the first half but blew all of that before coming again to notch a seventh-straight victory.

J.J. Redick scored 13 of his 21 points in the first quarter and Jamal Crawford added 20.

Anthony Davis scored 26 points for the Pelicans, who have lost five of their past six.

Orlando’s Tobias Harris scored a season-high 27 points to help the Magic defeat Sacramento 105-96.

San Antonio’s Marco Belinelli scored 20 points in the Spurs’ 123-101 victory over Minnesota.

Philadelphia notched only its second win of the season and moved within one win of the equally poor Detroit by beating the Pistons 108-101 after overtime.
