76ers halt Heat's run
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 02 - 2017

The Miami Heat's 13-game NBA winning streak ended Saturday in Philadelphia, where they fell 117-109 to the 76ers.
Robert Covington, Nerlens Noel and Dario Saric scored 19 points apiece for the 76ers and Ersan Ilyasova and Gerald Henderson contributed 14 as Philadelphia won their second straight game.
Goran Dragic poured in 30 points to lead Miami, whose winning streak was the longest in the league this season.
James Johnson scored 26 for Miami, Tyler Johnson added 17 and Wayne Ellington scored 16.
Hassan Whiteside collected 12 points and 19 rebounds for the Heat.
It was Miami's first defeat since January 13. Their 13 straight wins in less than a month were more than the 11 they had mustered in the three previous months of the season.
Warriors 130, Thunder 114: Kevin Durant scored 34 points while being booed throughout his return to Oklahoma City, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Thunder 130-114 in a tough-fought game.
Emotions ran high throughout the game. At one point in the third quarter, Durant and Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook yelled at each other as they walked toward their benches during a timeout. Later in the third quarter, Oklahoma City's Andre Roberson fouled Durant hard, and the two got in each other's faces and were called for double technicals.
Westbrook finished with 47 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists.
Cavaliers 125, Nuggets 109: LeBron James and Kyrie Irving each scored 27 points and combined for three 3-pointers in Cleveland's long-range barrage in the third quarter.
James added 12 assists in 32 minutes as the defending NBA champions won for the fifth time in six February games after going 7-8 in January.
Nikola Jokic had 27 points and 13 rebounds for the Nuggets.
Clippers 107, Hornets 102: Blake Griffin had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Austin Rivers scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half and Los Angeles beat Charlotte.
Jamal Crawford provided a spark off the bench, scoring 22 points while going 5 for 8 on 3-pointers.
Nicolas Batum had 25 points, six rebounds and eight assists for the Hornets.
Bucks 116, Pacers 100: Giannis Antetokoumpo had 20 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds to help Milwaukee beat Indiana.
Mirza Teletovic made five 3-pointers and had 19 points, and Malcolm Brogdon and Greg Monroe each added 17 for the Bucks.
C.J. Miles had six 3s and scored 23 points, and Monta Ellis and Myles Turner each had 18 points for the Pacers.
Rockets 133, Suns 102: James Harden scored 40 points in three quarters and Houston never trailed against short-handed Phoenix.
The Suns were playing without starters Eric Bledsoe and Tyson Chandler. Devin Booker had 18 points for the Suns.
Mavericks 112, Magic 80: Wesley Matthews scored 12 of his 20 points in the first quarter, and Dallas cruised past Orlando.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 14 points in 18 minutes, hitting a 3-pointer to give Dallas its first 30-point lead at 67-37 in the first minute of the third quarter before going to the bench for good a little more than six minutes later.
Bismack Biyombo scored 15 points, nine in a meaningless fourth quarter, as the Magic lost their fourth straight.
Celtics 112, Jazz 104: Isaiah Thomas scored 29 points and Kelly Olynyk added 19 to help the Boston Celtics defeat the Utah Jazz for their ninth win in their last 10 games.
Gordon Hayward scored 25 points and George Hill added 22 to lead the Jazz. — Agencies
