MILWAUKEE — The Golden State Warriors secured the top seed in the NBA's Western Conference Saturday with a record-setting 108-95 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Stephen Curry scored 25 points and Klay Thompson added 21 in the 108-95 victory, which guarantees the Warriors the best record in the west and home-court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs.
The Warriors also set a club record for wins in a season with their 60th triumph of the current campaign. Their previous record of 59 was set in 1975-76.
Harrison Barnes scored 13 points and pulled down six rebounds and Marreese Speights supplied 12 points and seven rebounds for Golden State, who won their ninth straight game.
The Warriors connected on 12 of 25 three-point attempts and made 12 of 14 free throws.
The Bucks in contrast were just two of 15 from three-point range and were held to 37.9 percent from the floor overall.
Bulls 111, Knicks 80: The Chicago Bulls cruised to a 111-80 victory over the New York Knicks, who dropped their seventh game in a row and set a franchise record for losses in a season with 60.
The Bulls (45-29) swept the three-game season series in impressive fashion. Six players scored in double figures, led by rookie Nikola Mirotic's 24 points.
Pau Gasol finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds for his NBA-high 48th double-double as Chicago stayed third in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks (14-60) were led by Andrea Bargnani's 14 points.
Jazz 94, Thunder 89: Trey Burke scored 22 points and Gordon Hayward added 17 to lead the Utah Jazz to a 94-89 win over Oklahoma City.
Rudy Gobert chipped in with 13 points, 14 rebounds and blocked four shots for the Jazz (32-41), who snapped a four-game losing streak and won after trailing the entire first half.
Russell Westbrook scored 37 points, collected eight rebounds and dished out six assists for the Thunder, while former Utah center Enes Kanter added 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Oklahoma City (41-32) committed 23 turnovers and had their lead on the eighth spot in the West trimmed to 2-1/2 games.
Hornets 115, Hawks 100: Kemba Walker scored 21 points and Gerald Henderson scored 20 as the Charlotte Hornets beat a second-string Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks (55-18), who clinched the Eastern Conference's top seed with a win over Miami Friday, rested all five of their usual starters.
The Hornets (31-41) had lost three straight and six of their previous seven. They picked up a half game on No. 8 Boston and are now one game out of the final Eastern Conference playoff spot with 10 games remaining. — Agencies
