Recap Roundups
March 11, 2017
Oklahoma City 112, Utah 104
Russell Westbrook really doesn't like to talk about his triple-doubles. Whether the Oklahoma City point guard is being modest or would just rather focus on the team, he won't elaborate in how much his triple-doubles are affecting his team's success.
L.A. Clippers 112, Philadelphia 100
With the pesky Philadelphia 76ers threatening to steal a game from the Los Angeles Clippers, one of their leaders insured that a recurrence of an earlier season upset was not going to take place.
Detroit 112, New York 92
Tobias Harris played one of the best all-around games of his careerSaturday. As usual, the thing that stood out was his ability to steadily put up points.
New Orleans 125, Charlotte 122
Anthony Davis celebrated his 24th birthday in style on Saturday night and the New Orleans Pelicans were the beneficiaries.
Cleveland 116, Orlando 104
LeBron James did what he always does -- dominate the game -- but this time the Cleveland Cavaliers followed his lead perfectly.
Milwaukee 102, Minnesota 95
Once again, defense saved the day for the Milwaukee Bucks, who extended their winning streak to a season-high six games Saturday night with a 102-95 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Bradley Center.
Miami 104, Toronto 89
Heat point guard Goran Dragic, his right eye swollen shut due to an orbital contusion, left the game 41 seconds into the third quarter, never to return after getting elbowed accidentally by Cory Joseph.
San Antonio 107, Golden State 85
Saturday's contest between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs was a game that NBA fans had circled on their calendar for months, a supposed battle between two of the league's marquee teams with playoff implications aplenty and a lot of pride on the line.
Atlanta 107, Memphis 90
Memphis Grizzlies coach David Fizdale admits he's at a loss to explain the mounting losses.
Phoenix 100, Dallas 98
Asked during a timeout if he wanted a screen on what was going to be the final shot of regulation, Devin Booker declined.
Washington 125, Portland 124
There was no doubt that Markieff Morris' foot was on the sideline as he received the pass that set up his game-winning 20-foot baseline jump shot with .4 of a second remaining in overtime Saturday night at Moda Center.

Gary Harris scored 24 points and Nikola Jokic recorded a double-double, leading the Denver Nuggets to a 105-92 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Calif.
