What we know after Sunday’s games:
- The Knicks’ defense was suffocating in their 114-89 win over San Antonio to snap their 11-game win streak. The Spurs were averaging 124.8 points per game on 50% shooting overall during the streak, but New York held them to 42% from the field and 26% from 3-point territory.
- Josh Giddey (20 pts, 14 reb, 10 ast) tied Scottie Pippen for the second-most triple-doubles (15) in Bulls’ franchise history in a 120-97 win over Milwaukee. The win snapped Chicago’s 11-game losing streak after going winless in the month of February.
- Anthony Edwards (21 pts) and Jaden McDaniels (20 pts) combined for 41 points to lead the Timberwolves to their third consecutive victory in a 117-108 win over Nikola Jokić (35 pts, 13 reb, 9 ast, 1 stl, 2 blk) and the Nuggets.
- James Harden (thumb) returned from a two-game absence to snap Cleveland’s two-game losing skid. The Beard finished just short of a triple-double with 22 points, 9 boards and 8 dimes.
- Walter Clayton, Jr. tied a Grizzlies’ rookie single-game record with 14 assists in a 125-106 win over Indiana. The 14 dimes are the most by a rookie in the NBA this season.
- Jonathan Kuminga (20 pts) and Onyeka Okongwu (25 pts) shined in Atlanta’s 135-101 win over Portland. That’s four straight wins for the Hawks, who reached .500 (31-31) for the first time since Dec. 23.
- Detroit won their third straight game as Cade Cunningham tied Isiah Thomas’ single-season franchise record with his 9th game with 20+ points and 10+ assists.
