New York — D’Angelo Russell had 22 points and a career high-tying 13 assists against his former team, and the Brooklyn Nets ran the NBA’s longest winning streak to six games by beating the Los Angeles Lakers, 115-110, on Tuesday night.

Joe Harris added 19 points and Spencer Dinwiddie scored 18 for the Nets, who last won six in a row from March 25 to April 3, 2015. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson finished with 17 points and Jared Dudley made some big baskets down the stretch to score 13.

LeBron James bounced back from his lowest-scoring game of the season with 36 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists, but the Lakers finished 1-3 on their road trip. Kyle Kuzma had 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Lonzo Ball scored 23 points.

Brooklyn continued its recovery from an eight-game skid by holding on in front of a loud, large crowd that alternated cheering when the Lakers seized the momentum and when the Nets regained it.

Cavaliers 92, Pacers 91

Indianapolis — Larry Nance Jr.’s buzzer-beating tip-in gave Cleveland a victory at Indiana.

Nance finished with 15 points and a career-high 16 rebounds in the Cavs’ third road victory of the season. Rodney Hood scored 17 points to lead Cleveland, which snapped a two-game losing streak.

The Pacers were led by Domantas Sabonis’ 17 points and Bojan Bogdanovic’s 14.

Hawks 118, Wizards 110

Atlanta— Jeremy Lin scored 12 of his 16 points in the final period, and Atlanta overcame Bradley Beal’s 29 points.

Seven players scored in double figures to help the last-place Hawks (7-23) stop a three-game skid. John Collins had 20 points and 13 rebounds, while rookie Trae Young scored 19.
