GOLDEN STATE: Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry took turns orchestrating the offence while the Golden State Warriors’ collective length dominated defensively in a 125-108 victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday night at Toyota Center. The Warriors stretched their winning streak to six games. Durant finished with 32 points and seven assists while Curry chipped in 24 points and seven assists. Rockets guard James Harden produced 17 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists but was 0 for 5 on 3-pointers.


Hawks 102, Bulls 93


Atlanta bounced back from a lopsided loss at Detroit two nights earlier by extending its dominance against Chicago.


The Hawks, who got off to a blistering shooting start, led by 29 points at half-time en route to extending their winning streak against the Bulls to six games.


Dennis Schroder had 25 points and six assists as the Hawks won for the 10th time in their past 12 games.


Hornets 113, Raptors 78


Charlotte played like a team intent on putting a recent five-game losing streak behind it and gaining momentum while it is in the middle of a five-game homestand.


The Hornets outscored the Raptors 58-30 in the second half, leading by as many as 37 points despite resting most of their starters throughout the fourth quarter. Kemba Walker led the way with 32 points.


Magic 112, Bucks 96


Elfrid Payton scored 20 points and added six assists in leading Orlando to a victory over Milwaukee at the Amway Center.


The Magic snapped a three-game losing streak. The Bucks lost their fourth consecutive game.


The Magic had seven players finish in double figures when they dominated the second half and never were seriously challenged for the lead.


76ers 93, Trail Blazers 92


Robert Covington’s 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds remaining lifted Philadelphia to a victory over Portland the 76ers’ sixth victory in seven games and eighth in 10.


Covington, who finished with 22 points, took a pass from T J McConnell and connected from the left wing.


Portland’s Mason Plumlee then missed a layup in traffic at the buzzer as the Trail Blazers dropped their fourth straight game.


Ersan Ilyasova scored a season-high 24 points for Philadelphia.


Nets 143, Pelicans 114


Brook Lopez and Bojan Bogdanovich scored 23 points apiece as Brooklyn ended an 11-game losing streak by beating New Orleans in the Smoothie King Center.


Five team-mates came off the bench to score in double figures for the Nets, who won for the first time since a 120-118 victory against Charlotte on December 26.


Spencer Dinwiddie was the third Brooklyn starter to score in double figures, finishing with 10 points. Rookie Caris LeVert led the Nets’ reserves with 17 points, Luis Scola scored 14 in eight fourth-quarter minutes, Quincy Acy and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson each had 12 and Randy Foye had 11. The Brooklyn bench outscored the New Orleans bench 73-47. — Reuters
