Warriors avenge only loss

OAKLAND — Stephen Curry scored 26 points and Draymond Green fueled a key fourth-quarter run that helped the Golden State Warriors avenge their only loss of the season by beating the Milwaukee Bucks 121-112 Friday night. Six nights after handing the Warriors their first loss of the season and ending a 28-game, regular-season winning streak dating to last season, the Bucks nearly dealt Golden State its first home loss since Jan. 27 against Chicago. The game ended with some heated words between Green and O.J. Mayo as the teams left the court. Security and a few other players got in the middle of it before things calmed down and both teams retreated to their locker rooms. It didn’t come easy, as Golden State trailed by as many as 15 points in the third quarter and by 11 points with less than eight minutes to play before Green and Curry took over to improve Golden State to 26-1. Andre Iguodala capped a late seven-point run with a three-pointer. Point guard Michael Carter-Williams had 24 points for the Bucks. Pistons 147, Bulls 144 (quadruple OT): Andre Drummond scored 33 points and pulled down 21 rebounds as the Detroit Pistons outlasted the Chicago Bulls 147-144 in quadruple overtime. Reggie Jackson scored 31 points, including 13 in the fourth overtime session, and dished out 13 assists as Detroit (16-12) earned their fourth win in the past five games. Spurs 115, Clippers 107: LaMarcus Aldridge had 26 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Spurs to a 115-107 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in San Antonio. Tony Parker scored 21 points for the Spurs, who have not lost at home this season in 15 games. Kawhi Leonard added 19 points, Tim Duncan 14 and Danny Green 10. Pacers 104, Nets 97: Paul George scored 23 points, including a key three-pointer with 3:26 remaining, and the Indiana Pacers rallied for a 104-97 victory over the Brooklyn Nets at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Indiana (16-9) won despite making only seven of 28 shots from three-point range against a team that are now 1-12 on the road. Magic 102, Trail Blazers 94: Orlando center Nikola Vucevic and Tobias Harris each scored 25 points to lead the Magic to a 102-94 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers at the Amway Center. The Magic (15-11) won their third consecutive game and ninth in the last 12. The Trail Blazers (11-17), who play on Sunday in Miami, lost their second consecutive game. Knicks 107, 76ers 97: Jahlil Okafor topped Kristaps Porzingis in the individual battle between two of the top draft picks in the 2015 NBA Draft, but the New York Knicks came away with a 107-97 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
