Klay Thompson scored 32 points, Stephen Curry added 23 and the Golden State Warriors beat the Clippers, 115-112, in Los Angeles on Saturday night to avoid losing back-to-back games for the first time this season.

The Warriors were coming off a 32-point drubbing at Portland a night earlier that snapped their 11-game winning streak.

They appeared highly motivated to erase that memory from the opening tip, shooting 56 percent in the first half and twice leading by 15 points in the second quarter.

Draymond Green had his NBA-leading 11th triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists to help the defending champions improve to 49-5.

Jamal Crawford scored 25 points off the bench, Chris Paul added 24 and DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and 21 rebounds for the Clippers. They fell to 19-6 without injured Blake Griffin.

Bucks 117, Hawks 109 — Jabari Parker had career highs of 28 points and 13 rebounds, Greg Monroe added 24 points and Milwaukee snapped a six-game road skid with a double-overtime victory over Atlanta.

Paul Millsap finished with 27 points, and Dennis Schroder had 25 for the Hawks, who missed 32 of 41 shots beyond the 3-point arc.

Atlanta has lost three straight at home for the first time since March 2014.

Heat 114, Wizards 94 — Hassan Whiteside had 25 points and 23 rebounds in his return from a one-game suspension to help Miami win at home.

Luol Deng had 27 points a night after scoring 30 points in a victory at Atlanta, and Goran Dragic added a season-high 24 points and had eight assists and seven rebounds. The Heat played without All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the second consecutive game.

Knicks 103, Timberwolves 95 — In Minneapolis, Carmelo Anthony had 30 points and 11 rebounds and New York snapped a seven-game losing streak.

Robin Lopez had 26 points and 16 rebounds to give interim coach Kurt Rambis his first victory since taking over for the fired Derek Fisher three games ago.
