Indianapolis — Jeff Teague had 21 points, 15 assists and seven rebounds, and Myles Turner finished with 25 points and 15 boards as the Indiana Pacers beat the Brooklyn Nets 121-109 on Thursday night for their fourth consecutive victory.

Paul George scored 26 points and Thaddeus Young added 10 points and six rebounds for Indiana.

Leading 66-59, the Pacers (19-18) went on an 18-4 run that gave them a 21-point lead. The Nets clawed their way back, pulling within eight with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but Indiana then stretched its advantage back to double digits.

Trevor Booker and Justin Hamilton had 16 points apiece for the Nets (8-26), who fell to 1-17 on the road. Sean Kilpatrick and Sean Dinwiddie each scored 13.

Brooklyn has lost four straight and nine of 11 overall.

Rockets 118, Thunder 116

Houston — James Harden scored 26 points and Nene made two free throws with 0.7 seconds remaining to lift the Rockets to their sixth straight win.

Houston overcame Russell Westbrook’s 49 points, though the star guard struggled down the stretch.

Nene was fouled by Jerami Grant as he attempted a shot right under the basket, setting up the winning free throws.

Hawks 99, Pelicans 94

New Orleans — Dennis Schroder scored 23 points and the Hawks beat New Orleans to win their fifth straight, even as shooting guard Kyle Korver spent the entire game on the bench amid reports he could be traded.

Paul Millsap had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawks, who trailed by three after Anthony Davis’ dunk with 3:51 left before outscoring New Orleans 14-6 the rest of the way..

Pistons 115, Hornets 114

Auburn Hills, Mich. — Marco Belinelli nearly pulled off one of the craftiest buzzer beaters in memory, but his bank shot was disallowed because it came too late, and Detroit held on for a victory over Charlotte.

Belinelli was inbounding from the sideline with 0.5 seconds remaining and the Hornets down by one. Detroit’s Marcus Morris was guarding the inbounder but had his back turned, and Belinelli bounced the ball off him and caught the carom. He then took a shot that banked in, but it was waved off — and a video review confirmed the basket came just after time expired.

Raptors 101, Jazz 93

Toronto — Kyle Lowry scored 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter to lead Toronto to a come-from-behind victory.

Lowry, who had 19 points in the final quarter of a comeback win at Utah two weeks ago, added six rebounds and five assists for the Raptors (24-11).

Suns 102, Mavericks 95

Dallas — Eric Bledsoe scored 26 points, including five straight to break a tie in the final two minutes, and Phoenix beat Dallas.

Devin Booker added 22 points as the Suns (12-25) won consecutive games for just the second time this season and denied the Mavericks (11-25) their third two-game winning streak in a matchup of Western Conference also-rans.

Cavs Working on Deal For Hawks’ Korver

Cleveland — Kyle Korver could soon be hoisting shots for the NBA champions.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are working on a deal to acquire Korver, one of the league’s elite 3-point shooters, in a trade from the Atlanta Hawks, a person familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press on Thursday night.

The Vertical first reported the potential swap.

Cleveland is in need of another outside shooting threat with J.R. Smith expected to be sidelined until the end of the regular season after undergoing surgery to repair a broken thumb.

The 35-year-old Korver is a more than adequate replacement as he’s shot 43 percent from long range during his career and his 1,952 made 3s are the eighth most in league history.

Korver did not play in Thursday night’s game in New Orleans, and afterward said he had mixed emotions about a trade that may only need league approval before becoming official.
