NBA


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
divisions: S-Southwest; P-Pacific; N-Northwest; Eastern Conference
divisions: A-Atlantic; C-Central; S-Southeast.)

STANDINGS


Dejounte Murray scored 21
points, and the San Antonio Spurs
gave Tim Duncan his first victory
as an acting head coach with a 104-
103 victory over the Charlotte Hor-
nets on Tuesday night.
Spurs longtime coach Gregg
Popovich missed the game while
dealing with “personal business,”
according to the team. Popovich is
expected to return to the bench for
Friday night’s game against the
Brooklyn Nets.
The team would not say
whether Popovich made the trip to
Charlotte.
Terry Rozier had 20 points and
P.J. Washington added 19 with five
three-pointers for the Hornets.
Duncan was mostly mild-man-
nered on the bench, not showing
much emotion as the game prog-
ressed.
However, he challenged a
charge call by Derrick White with
9:09 left in the fourth quarter, but
the play was not overturned.


Brooklyn 129, at Boston 120 (OT):
Caris LeVert scored 37 of his ca-
reer-high 51 points in the fourth
quarter and overtime to help the
Nets erase a 21-point second-half
deficit and beat the Celtics. It was a
stunning end to a four-game losing
streak for Brooklyn, which is trying
to hold on to the final playoff spot in
the Eastern Conference.


Golden State 116, at Denver 100:
Eric Paschall scored nine of his 22
points in the fourth quarter, An-
drew Wiggins turned in a double-
double and the Warriors rallied to
stun the Nuggets. A 16-point
underdog, Golden State was down
77-65 with 5:08 left in the third
quarter. The Warriors went on a 43-
15 run to take control.


Toronto 123, at Phoenix 114:Pascal
Siakam scored 33 points, Kyle
Lowry added 28 and the Raptors
rallied in the second half for a vic-
tory over the Suns. Toronto
snapped a three-game losing
streak.


Minnesota 139, at New Orleans
134: Malik Beasley scored 28
points, D’Angelo Russell scored 14
of his 23 points in the second half,
and the Timberwolves beat the
Pelicans.


at Sacramento 133, Washington
12 6 :De’Aaron Fox scored 31 points,
and the Kings held on after blowing
a 28-point lead to beat the Wizards,
despite being held to 19 points in
the third quarter.

BOX SCORES


WIN NO. 1


Nell RedmondAssociated Press

San Antonio acting head coach Tim Duncan,

who filled in for Gregg Popovich, talks to Derrick

White in the Spurs’ 104-103 win over Charlotte.

22 points, 14 assists and seven re-

bounds.

“He scores in a variety of ways,”

Coach Frank Vogel said of Davis.

“He’s a threat in a variety of ways.

We are continuing to wind him up

from the three-point line to be ag-

gressive in those situations. ... We

can have our cake and eat it too, so

to speak. We have the offensive

spacing and we have the defensive

length that we need to reach our

highest level.”

Glenn Robinson III led the

76ers with 25 points off the bench.

Philadelphia (37-25) entered

Tuesday night tied for fifth in the

Eastern Conference and fell to

sixth, a half-game behind Indiana.

The Lakers, meanwhile, strength-

ened their position atop the West,

improving to 47-13.

The Lakers gave up 35 points in

the first quarter, just as they did in

a 108-91 loss at Philadelphia on Jan.


  1. Davis scored eight points in the
    period, James scored five and the
    76ers got eight points out of Tobias
    Harris.
    The 76ers extended their lead to
    13 in the second quarter on a three-
    pointer by Robinson.
    From there the Lakers turned
    the game around. And it was be-
    cause of Davis.
    “That little stretch we had in the
    second quarter, that flip of the
    switch, I’ve never ... I haven’t seen
    him like that all year,” teammate
    Avery Bradley said. “He was fired
    up.”
    Davis scored 18 points in the fi-
    nal eight minutes of the half, bury-
    ing Philadelphia in an avalanche of
    dunks.
    He also made both three-point-
    ers he attempted in that period.
    Afterward, the 76ers weren’t tak-
    ing any chances. Vogel recalls a de-
    fender seeing Davis prepare to
    shoot from outside and racing
    toward him to stop it. It just
    opened the lane for another dunk
    by Davis.
    “Over the last month and a half,
    I feel very confident with it,” Davis
    said. “No hesitation in shooting it.
    Coach said it opens up the floor for
    me, opens up the floor for the team,
    space where teams are not helping
    as much. When I’m not able to
    knock down a couple, I’m able to
    show the pump fake and drive and
    get a layup or a pass for my team.”
    Davis also had two steals in the
    second quarter and a plus-minus
    rating of 24. In all, the Lakers
    scored 37 points in the quarter.


With an 11-point lead, the Lakers

opened the third quarter on a 10-0

run, including a deep three from

James as he pulled up at the edge of

the Lakers logo covering center

court — officially 36 feet away from

the basket. Davis, Danny Green

and JaVale McGee walked to the

spot on the floor from which James

released his shot and leaned over

as if to examine it.

“That was funny,” James said

after he saw a video of it following

the game.

Davis said it was his favorite

play of the game.

During the fourth quarter,

Philadelphia’s Shake Milton tried

to pass the ball and James grabbed

it out of the air, ran down the court

and electrified the Staples Center

crowd with a dunk.

The Lakers entered the game

with a talent advantage and over-

powered the 76ers. They got yet an-

other glimpse of what Davis is like

at his best.

“I think you’ve seen a little bit of

a different Anthony Davis this

whole season than we’ve seen in his

prior stop in New Orleans,” Vogel

said. “I don’t know if it’s different

today than it’s been most of the

season. Ultimately, I think we’re

gonna see it when we get to the

playoffs.”

Davis, James take over the game
