Standings have been arranged to reflect how the teams will be deter-
mined for the playoffs. Teams are ranked 1-15 by record. Division
standing no longer has any bearing on the rankings. The top eight
teams in each conference make the playoffs, and the top-seeded
team would play the eighth-seeded team, the seventh team would
play the second, etc. Head-to-head competition is the first of several
tiebreakers, followed by conference record. (Western Conference di-
visions: S-Southwest; P-Pacific; N-Northwest; Eastern Conference
divisions: A-Atlantic; C-Central; S-Southeast).

STANDINGS


Giannis Antetokounmpo
scored a season-high 50 points and
grabbed 14 rebounds for his 17th
consecutive double-double to help
the Bucks rally for their eighth
straight victory, 122-118 over the
Utah Jazz on Monday night.
Antetokounmpo’s streak of
double-doubles is the longest to
open a season since Bill Walton
opened with 34 straight in 1976-77.
He had 32 points in the second half.
“I’m impressed, I’m not going to
lie to you,” said Antetokounmpo.
“Great game and all that. My sec-
ond 50-point game of my career.
Doing it with zero turnovers and all
that, that’s great. I see that they
made 21 threes, and as a team we
were still able to be in the game and
still win the game. At the end of the
day, all that matters is a win.”


at Toronto 101, Philadelphia 96:
Pascal Siakam scored 25 points,
Fred VanVleet added 24 and the
Raptors held Joel Embiid scoreless
for the first time. Embiid shot 0 for
11, missing all four of his shots from
three-point range and going 0 for 3
at the free-throw line.


at Boston 103, Sacramento 102:
Jaylen Brown scored 24 points and
the Celtics held off the Kings de-
spite a career-high 41 points from
Buddy Hield, who scored 21 points
in the third quarter.


Portland 117, at Chicago 94:
Carmelo Anthony scored 25 points
in just his fourth game of the sea-
son and CJ McCollum added 21.
Anthony has 25,615 career points to
move ahead of Alex English
(25,613) into 18th place on the
NBA’s career scoring list.


Brooklyn 108, at Cleveland 106:
Spencer Dinwiddie hit a fadeaway
jumper with 1.9 seconds remaining
to give the Nets their fourth
straight victory.


at Detroit 103, Orlando 88:Luke
Kennard scored 20 points and
Blake Griffin added 17 to lead the
Pistons past the Magic, who are 0-7
on the road.


at Indiana 126, Memphis 114:T.J.
Warren scored 26 points and Aaron
Holiday added 16 points off the
bench for the Pacers.


Minnesota 125, at Atlanta 113:
Karl-Anthony Towns had 28 points
and 13 rebounds and the Timber-
wolves got 46 points from their
bench.


at Miami 117, Charlotte 100:Bam
Adebayo and Jimmy Butler each
scored 21 points for the Heat, who
are 7-0 at home for only the second
time in franchise history.


Oklahoma City 100, at Golden
State 97:Chris Paul hit a 19-footer
with 36 seconds left to send the
Thunder to their first road win.

NBA


The reticent Kawhi Leonard

was asked to share his thoughts on

how well Luka Doncic has been

playing for the surprising Dallas

Mavericks.

“He’s the head of the snake over

there,” Leonard said Sunday night

after the Clippers had won their

fifth consecutive game.

The far more talkative Paul

George also was asked to share his

views on how Doncic has become

the catalyst for the Mavericks in

just his second season.

“He’s the head of the snake,”

George said after Leonard left the

podium.

So there you have it from the

Clippers’ stars.

Doncic is a force to be reckoned

with, and the Clippers will have to

deal with him when they meet the

Mavericks on Tuesday night in

Dallas at the start of their three-

game trip.

George was asked whether he

and Leonard had talked about

Doncic since they said the exact

same thing about the 20-year-old

wunderkind.

George looked down at his

phone and smiled.

“He sent me a text saying some-

body was going to ask about that,”

George said of Leonard, laughing.

“No, I think we both just under-

stand the game. We know the dy-

namics of the game and we know

where he’s taking his game.

“So Dallas, talent-wise, I think

they’re really performing higher

than I think people would expect,

and he’s the reason for it. He’s

really doing everything, so I’ve

been watching. I’ve been keeping

up and following what he’s been do-

ing and, man, he’s doing it. He’s in

the MVP conversations right now.

So it’s kind of hard to not know

what’s going on in Dallas.”

Doncic and the Mavericks are

on a tear. He entered Monday sec-

ond in the NBA in scoring (30.6)

and assists (9.8) and tied for 11th in

rebounds (10.1), and leading the

league in triple-doubles with sev-

en.

“He’s playing great, like you

said,” Leonard said. “[He’s] getting

his teammates the ball, making

shots, just playing competitive

basketball. They’re winning.”

Doncic dropped 41 points and 10

assists on the Houston Rockets on

Sunday night, extending the Mav-

ericks’ winning streak to five

games. Their 11-5 record has them

sitting in fourth place in the West.

Doncic has four consecutive

games with at least 30 points and 10

assists and put up 40 and 10 twice.

“What’s impressive is his skill

set at his age,” George said. “He’s a

scorer. He’s a playmaker. He’s a

ballhandler.

“I think he’s close to averaging a

triple-double, so he’s doing it in all

aspects of the game, and doing it at

his age is remarkable.”

The Clippers probably will send

a wave of defenders at the 6-foot-7,

230-pound Doncic. Leonard,

George, Patrick Beverley and Mau-

rice Harkless are options.

“We’ll find that out. I haven’t

looked at a game plan yet,” coach

Doc Rivers said Sunday night. “I

just know that no one is stopping

him so far. And if you don’t, they’re

going to win. That’s going to be our

challenge.

“I don’t know if you’re going to

stop him, but make him inefficient

somehow. I don’t know. But we’ll

look at it. We got a three-hour flight

together. We’ll be able to watch a

lot of film.”

This ‘snake’ is triple trouble

LUKA DONCIC,averaging 30.6 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.8 assists for the 11-5 Mavericks, is “the

head of the snake,” according to Clippers stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
