Kent Bazemore scored a season-high 23 points, Bogdan Bogdanovic added 20 and the Sacramento Kings beat the Los Angeles Clippers on the road for the second time in less than a month, winning 112-103 on Saturday.

De'Aaron Fox had 20 points and eight assists for the surging Kings. They have won two straight out of the All-Star break and eight of 12 overall.

Houston 120, Utah 110: James Harden scored 38 points and Russell Westbrook had 34 to boost the Rockets over the Jazz in Salt Lake City. Donovan Mitchell scored 31 and Jordan Clarkson 22 for the Jazz.

Milwaukee 119, Philadelphia 98: Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 31 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and dished out eight assists as the Bucks whipped the 76ers in Milwaukee. Khris Middleton added 25 points and nine rebounds for the Bucks. Joel Embiid scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Sixers, who were missing Ben Simmons, who played only five minutes before leaving after aggravating a back injury.

Atlanta 111, Dallas 107: John Collins had 35 points and 17 rebounds, Trae Young scored 13 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter and the Hawks rallied late to beat the Mavericks in Atlanta.

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 20 of his 33 points in the first half for Dallas.

Miami 124, Cleveland 105: The Heat was a worthy warmup act for Dwyane Wade's jersey retirement, breaking a 23-year-old franchise record for points in the first half en route to a victory over the Cavaliers. Miami shot 77% in the first half and then turned the stage over to Wade, whose No. 3 jersey was hoisted to the rafters at halftime.

Phoenix 112, Chicago 104: DeAndre Ayton dominated with 28 points and 19 rebounds, Devin Booker had 29 points and the Suns defeated the Bulls in Chicago. Ricky Rubio added 18 points and 11 assists to help the Suns stop a five-game road losing streak.
