NBA: Warriors bounce back, Celtics down Magic



Warriors 109, Timberwolves 104

Although it was a close one, the Golden State Warriors still have no concept of a losing streak this season.

Draymond Green scored 24 points as Golden State rallied from three points down in the final six minutes, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 109-104 Monday and avoiding their first back-to-back losses of the season.

-----------------------------------------

Celtics 107, Magic 96


The scoring of Isaiah Thomas, Kelly Olynyk, Avery Bradley and Evan Turner drove the Boston Celtics to their second win in 24 hours, a 107-96 victory over the Orlando Magic on Monday night.

After ending a four-game losing streak with a win at Philadelphia on Sunday, the Celtics handed the Magic their 11th consecutive regular-season loss at TD Garden, their 12th in a row counting playoffs.

-----------------------------------------

Pistons 92, Bucks 91


Andre Drummond's tip-in during the final second gave the Detroit Pistons a 92-91 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday at The Palace.

Drummond's putback of a missed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope jumper gave the Pistons (37-34) their third consecutive victory. Milwaukee's Jerryd Bayless missed two free throws prior to Drummond's game-winner.



Wizards 117, Bucks 102

Bradley Beal is getting healthy at the right time, John Wall is heating up and the Washington Wizards look dangerous heading into the final weeks of the regular season.

Beal scored 25 points, and Wall added 27 points and 14 assists, leading the Wizards to a 117-102 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday in a battle of surging Eastern Conference squads at Philips Arena.

-----------------------------------------

Bulls 109, Kings 102

Derrick Rose scored 18 points and Taj Gibson and Doug McDermott each scored 16 as the Chicago Bulls beat the Sacramento Kings 109-102 on Monday night at the United Center.

The Bulls used a 10-0 run to take a 100-95 lead with 2:39 remaining en route to their third straight victory as Chicago fights for an Eastern Conference playoff berth.

-----------------------------------------

Pacers 91, Sixers 75

Paul George led a balanced attack with 15 points, and the Indiana Pacers pulled away from the Philadelphia 76ers 91-75 on Monday night in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

All five Indiana starters reached double figures, including 13 points from Monta Ellis, 12 from George Hill, Ian Mahinmi had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Myles Turner scored 10.
