The Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs needed dominant fourth quarters Saturday to keep their impressive NBA home winning streaks alive. Spurs guard Danny Green was an unlikely catalyst in San Antonio, where the Spurs trailed by two going into the final period but emerged with a 93-85 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Green had missed all eight of his shots before draining a go-ahead three-pointer with 7:19 left to play that ignited the Spurs' finishing burst. "(Green's) a pro and we made it clear to him there's only two outcomes — it goes in or it doesn't," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. The Spurs improved to 32-0 at home this season and have won 41 in a row dating back to last season. Kawhi Leonard scored 26 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 24 for the Spurs. In Oakland, California, the Warriors stretched their NBA record home winning streak to 48 with their 30th home win of this season, 123-116 over the struggling Phoenix Suns. But they, too, had to rally in the fourth, overcoming a nine-point deficit after three quarters with the aid of a 14-0 fourth-quarter scoring run. Superstar sharp-shooter Stephen Curry, who missed most of the third quarter because of foul trouble, returned to score 15 points in the final frame. Golden State trailed 108-105 before Curry launched the decisive run with a game-tying three-pointer with 5:36 remaining. The Suns missed their next six shots as the Warriors got a dunk by reserve center Marreese Speights, a dunk by Harrison Barnes and another three-pointer from Curry that gave the Warriors a 115-108 lead with 3:31 to play. Draymond Green stretched the lead to nine with a driving basket and Curry made two free-throws to cap the 14-0 run. Curry scored a game-high 35 points, making seven of 16 three-point attempts and handing out six assists. Speights added 25 points, Klay Thompson scored 20 and Green 19 for the Warriors, who were without NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Andre Iguodala because of a sprained left ankle. Pacers 112, Mavericks 105: Indiana star Paul George shook off a cold-shooting first half, George Hill knocked down three crucial 3-pointers and three players with Dallas ties helped the Pacers knock off the struggling Mavericks 112-105 in a rare Saturday matinee. The Pacers, who made their first 25 free throws and finished 27-of-29, never trailed in the second half, but Dallas sliced an 11-point deficit to 92-91 with 5:28 to go in the fourth period. That is when Hill, who finished with 16 points, went around the horn, hitting three consecutive 3-pointers, first from the corner, then straightaway and finally from the other corner. Hornets 125, Rockets 109: Kemba Walker scored 26 points and Marvin Williams added 25, and the Charlotte Hornets ran their winning streak to seven straight with a 125-109 victory over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night. Walker bounced back from an off-night in a win over Detroit Friday by hitting 11-of-16 of from the field with four 3-pointers. He also had six assists and five rebounds. Hawks, 95, Grizzlies 83: Center Al Horford and forward Paul Millsap combined for 38 points and 15 rebounds to help the Atlanta Hawks defeat the short-handed Memphis Grizzlies 95-83 Saturday and sweep the two-game season series. Millsap scored 21 points on eight-for-16 shooting with seven rebounds and five assists. Horford scored 19 points on eight-for-12 shooting and added eight rebounds and two assists. Raptors 112, Heat 104: DeMar DeRozan poured in a game-high 38 points as the Toronto Raptors defeated the Miami Heat 112-104 in overtime on Saturday night at Air Canada Centre. DeRozan added 10 rebounds and seven assists for Toronto (44-20), which has won three straight and 15 of 16 at home.
