ATLANTA (AP) — Shaedon Sharpe had 33 points and 10 rebounds and Deni Avdija finished with 32 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists as the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Atlanta Hawks 127-113 on Tuesday night.
Toumani Camara scored 18 points and Donovan Clingan and Dalano Banton added 11 points apiece as Portland snapped a four-game skid.
Trae Young had 29 points and 15 assists for Atlanta. Dyson Daniels had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Vit Krejci scored 13 points and Onyeka Okongwu 12 in the loss.
KNICKS 105, 76ERS 91
NEW YORK (AP) — OG Anunoby scored 27 points and New York beat Philadelphia, sending the 76ers to their ninth straight loss.
Landry Shamet added a season-high 20 points with six 3-pointers for the Knicks, who won their third straight. Mitchell Robinson had 14 points and 14 rebounds on his 27th birthday in his second start of the season.
With the Knicks looking sloppy with All-Star Jalen Brunson and his two backup point guards sidelined, and Karl-Anthony Towns sitting out with left knee soreness, Anunoby picked up the slack with a series of strong drives to the basket — including one emphatic slam while the Knicks were blowing it open in the fourth quarter.
Former Knicks guard Quentin Grimes scored 26 points for the 76ers, who used their 52nd different starting lineup of their injury-wrecked season.
BUCKS 133, SUNS 123
MILWAUKEE (AP — Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 37 points and Milwaukee relied on a team-record shooting performance to snap a four-game skid by winning over slumping and short-handed Phoenix.
The Bucks shot 68.9% (51 of 73) from the floor to set a franchise record for field-goal percentage. The previous record was 66.7% on Dec. 15, 1985, against Sacramento.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers improved his career record to 1,155-816 and tied Phil Jackson for seventh place in NBA history in regular-season wins.
The Suns lost their fourth straight. They were playing without Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Royce O’Neale.
