San Antonio — Kawhi Leonard had 25 points and seven assists, and the San Antonio Spurs held off the Utah Jazz 109-103 on Sunday in a matchup of postseason-bound teams.

The Jazz closed to 102-98 on Joe Johnson’s 16-footer with 2:06 remaining that capped a 10-0 run. Leonard then blocked a shot by 7-foot-1 center Rudy Gobert to help San Antonio preserve the victory.

Utah (47-30) leads the Los Angeles Clippers (47-31) by a half-game for the Western Conference’s No. 4 seed and home-court advantage in the opening round.

San Antonio (59-17) is second in the West behind Golden State.

Cavaliers 135, Pacers 130 (2 ot)

Cleveland — LeBron James made a big 3-pointer in the final minute of the second overtime and scored 41 points to offset 43 by Indiana’s Paul George, and the Cavaliers opened their April schedule with a win over the Pacers, who remain on the outside of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference.

James added 15 rebounds and 11 assists in 52 minutes for the defending NBA champions, who ended the game with some drama as Tristan Thompson and James angrily exchanged words during a timeout in the second OT.

Kyrie Irving made four free throws in the final 16.5 seconds and Kevin Love had 20 points and 12 rebounds as Cleveland stayed within a half-game of Boston for the top spot in the East.

Raptors 113, Sixers 105

Toronto — Serge Ibaka scored 24 points and DeMar DeRozan added 17 as the Raptors registered their ninth straight home victory.

DeRozan tied his season high with nine assists, and Jonas Valanciunas had 14 points for the Raptors, who closed out a four-game homestand by going 3-1. The last time the 76ers won in Toronto was Nov. 10, 2012.

Hornets 113, Thunder 101

Oklahoma City — Kemba Walker scored 29 points to help Charlotte overcome Russell Westbrook’s sixth straight triple-double.

Westbrook finished with 40 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. It was Westbrook’s 40th triple-double of the season, putting him one behind Oscar Robertson’s NBA record of 41, set during the 1961-62 season. It was Westbrook’s first career triple-double against Charlotte.

Frank Kaminsky had 18 points and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 16 for Charlotte, which entered the day in 10th place in the East, two games behind Chicago, Indiana and Miami, who were tied for seventh.

Lakers 108, Grizzlies 103

Los Angeles — D’Angelo Russell scored 28 points and three Lakers had double-doubles in a victory over Memphis.

Memphis fell to 42-35, 1 ½ games back of Oklahoma City for the sixth spot in the Western Conference with five games to play.

Mavericks 109, Bucks 105

Milwaukee — Harrison Barnes scored 15 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter to lift Dallas over Milwaukee. The Mavericks played as if they still had a chance at the playoffs, while the Bucks frittered away an opportunity to cement their hold on the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference.

Nets 91, Hawks 82

New York — Brook Lopez scored 29 points, Jeremy Lin had 15, and the Brooklyn Nets spoiled Paul Millsap’s return to the Atlanta lineup. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 11 points for the Nets, who have won two straight games.

Nuggets 116, Heat 113

Miami— Danilo Gallinari scored 29 points, Nikola Jokic and Wilson Chandler each added 19, and Denver topped Miami.

Emmanuel Mudiay scored 17 for Denver (36-40), which got back within two games of Portland for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Gallinari hit two straight jumpers late in the fourth to push a one-point Denver lead out to six, and the Nuggets held on at the end to deal Miami’s playoff hopes another blow.
