Spurs 114, Hawks 95
Centre Tiago Splitter scored a season-high 23 points and added eight rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Atlanta Hawks 114-95.

Cavaliers 108, Bucks 90
Forward LeBron James scored 28 points and guard J.R. Smith made seven three-pointers to finish with 23 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Milwaukee 108-90, handing the Bucks their sixth straight loss.

Clippers 107, Pelicans 100
The Los Angeles Clippers extended their winning streak to four games with a 107-100 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
