Charlotte, n.c. — Nicolas Batum had a season-high 28 points, and the Charlotte Hornets beat the Oklahoma Thunder 123-112 on Wednesday night to snap a two-game losing streak.

Batum was 7 of 18 from the field and made 13 of 15 free throws. The Hornets were 40 of 49 from the foul line.

Russell Westbrook had 33 points and 15 rebounds, but fell two assists shy of his 17th triple-double of the season for Oklahoma City.

Bulls 106, Bulls 94

Cleveland — Jimmy Butler scored 10 straight points during a critical stretch in the fourth quarter, leading Chicago over the Cavaliers, who had a less-than-100 percent LeBron James and were without stars Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.

Butler, who was coming off a 52-point game against Charlotte, scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth as the Bulls held off Cleveland’s comeback.

James, who has been battling a cold for several days, was questionable until about 20 minutes before the game. He finished with 31 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes.

Hawks 111, Magic 92

Orlando, Fla. — Dennis Schroder scored 18 points, Dwight Howard had 13 points and 12 rebounds and the Hawks pulled away late for their fourth straight win.

Kent Bazemore scored 17 points, and Paul Millsap had a big second half to finish with 16 points. Bazemore and Millsap knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter to close the door on Orlando.

The Hawks will retire the uniform number 44 of Pete Maravich. Maravich, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, played for the Hawks from 1970-74. He also played for the New Orleans/Utah Jazz and the Boston Celtics.

Bucks 105, Knicks 104

New York — Giannis Antetokounmpo made a turnaround jumper at the buzzer to give Milwaukee a victory over New York.

Antetokounmpo finished with 27 points and 13 rebounds, and he gave the Bucks a final possession when he knocked the ball off Derrick Rose and out of bounds with 8.6 seconds left. Officials originally ruled the ball was off the Bucks but reversed the call after video review.

Antetokounmpo handled things from there, calmly backing down Lance Thomas before turning and shooting from the foul line, the ball going in as time expired.
