Auburn Hills, Mich.
James missed his third game of the season, and Cleveland has lost all three. The Cavaliers had their five-game winning streak snapped on a night they never led.
New Orleans
Langston Galloway made all five of his 3-point shots and finished with 17 points for the Pelicans, who’ve won three of four as they try to climb back into the race for the final Western Conference playoff spot.
Houston
It was the 12th 30-point game this season for Harden, who made 12 of 15 free throws.
Chicago
Jimmy Butler had 16 points despite shooting only 3-of-12 from the field. Chicago, which had dropped nine of 12, was 32-for-83 (38.6 percent) from the field.
Washington
Bradley Beal scored 22 points as Washington turned the game around with a 15-2 fourth-quarter run. Markieff Morris added 18 in the Wizards’ sixth straight home win and seventh this season after trailing by double figures.
Minneapolis
LaVine scored 21 points, Andrew Wiggins had 21 and was 4-for-6 on 3-pointers, and Towns was 8-for-8 from the field, including 3-for-3 from 3-point range.
Orlando, Fla.
Mike Conley led Memphis with 17 points. Troy Daniels had 16 and Zach Randolph 13, but the Grizzlies were down early and never recovered.
New York
The Nets overcame the loss of Jeremy Lin and a 14-point deficit in the third quarter to stop a five-game losing streak. Bojan Bogdanovic led Brooklyn with 26 points, Sean Kilpatrick had 23 and Brook Lopez scored 10 of his 21 in the fourth.
Nicolas Batum had 24 points and Jeremy Lamb added 17 for Charlotte, but Kemba Walker was scoreless in the fourth quarter as the Hornets had their three-game winning streak snapped.
Lin strained his left hamstring in the third, the same injury that forced him to miss 17 games earlier this season.
