Short-handed Warriors hit 23 3-pointers to down Cavs

Ty Jerome added a season-high 22 points as the defending NBA champs ended a five-game trip with an improbable win.

Following a stinging three-point overtime loss Thursday night in Boston, Warriors coach Steve Kerr rested Curry along with fellow starters Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins.

It hardly mattered. Even with their top players on the bench in street clothes, the short-handed Warriors came out firing and barely slowed down.

Darius Garland scored 31 points to lead the Cavs, who were without star Donovan Mitchell because of a strained groin and suffered their most embarrassing loss this season. Caris LeVert added 22 points and Evan Mobley 17 for Cleveland.

MAVERICKS 115, HEAT 90: Luka Doncic had 34 points and 12 rebounds, and Dallas turned up the defensive intensity in a home victory over Miami. The Mavericks were without No. 2 scorer Christian Wood, who missed his first game with a broken left thumb. They responded two nights after blistering criticism of their recent defense from coach Jason Kidd by holding the Heat to 33% shooting in the first and third quarters combined.

HAWKS 139, KNICKS 124: Dejounte Murray scored 29 points, Trae Young added 27 and streaking Atlanta pulled away at the start of the fourth quarter to beat visiting New York. Julius Randle led the Knicks with 32 points but was held scoreless in the final period. Atlanta led only 101-101 before opening the final period with a 20-4 run that was capped by back-to-back inside baskets by Onyeka Okongwu.

MAGIC 123, PELICANS 110: Franz Wagner had 30 points and nine assists, Cole Anthony scored 22 off the bench and host Orlando beat New Orleans. CJ McCollum led New Orleans with 23 points. Jonas Valanciunas had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Trey Murphy III added 18 points for the injury-riddled Pelicans, who lost for the eighth time in 11 games.

CLIPPERS 131, SPURS 126: Kawhi Leonard scored a season-high 36 points against his former team, and Los Angeles snapped a two-game skid by beating winning at San Antonio. The Clippers had seven players in double figures, including Norman Powell with 26 points and Paul George with 16. Keldon Johnson had 23 points for San Antonio.
