DeAndre Jordan raised his NBA-best shooting percentage above 71 percent by making all seven shots and scoring 14 points, and the Los Angeles Clippers pounded the New York Knicks, 111-80, on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Shooting all night from either right at or above the rim - and once right on top of Jason Smith - Jordan hiked his season average to .713, which would be second only to Wilt Chamberlain's .727 in 1972-73.

Lakers 101, Timberwolves 99 - Jordan Clarkson hit two free throws with 0.3 seconds left in overtime to lift visiting Los Angeles past Minnesota.

Clarkson scored eight points in overtime and finished with 20. Jeremy Lin added 19 points for the Lakers, who snapped a five-game road losing streak and won for the second time in three games.

Cavaliers 111, Grizzlies 89 - Kyrie Irving scored 24 points, Kevin Love added 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Cleveland rolled past host Memphis.

LeBron James finished with 20 points, and Timofey Mozgov added 14 for Cleveland, which won its fourth straight and eighth in its last nine.

Bulls 116, Raptors 103 - Jimmy Butler scored 23 points, Pau Gasol had 18, and Chicago beat host Toronto.

Tony Snell scored 17 points to help the Bulls move 11/2 games ahead of the Raptors for third place in the Eastern Conference.
