Denver kept up in the pace on both ends of the floor in the third quarter, taking a 72-52 lead late in the period. They led 80-60 going into the fourth and were never seriously threatened.

MAVERICKS 95, SPURS 89: J.J. Barea had 14 of his 16 points in the second half and Dallas won at home to spoil the season debut of Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio.

Leonard, who missed the first 27 games because of a condition that causes pain and weakness in the knee, scored 13 points. He went to the locker room late in the third quarter and didn’t return.

Beasley had 13 points, including the tiebreaking follow shot, and an assist in overtime as the Knicks went back over .500 at 14-13. Thirteen of their victories have come at home.

NETS 103, WIZARDS 98: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Caris LeVert each scored 16 points, and Brooklyn overcame blowing a double-digit second-half lead at home.

Allen Crabbe hit a 3-pointer with 43.8 seconds left to put the Nets up 100-98. Bradley Beal missed a potential game-tying pull-up jumper and Spencer Dinwiddie was then fouled, making 1 of 2 free throws to increase the lead to 101-98.
