Arron Afflalo's 3-pointer from the wing gave the Sacramento Kings a 116-112 overtime victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday after LeBron James missed a deep 3-pointer with 10 seconds left that would have tied the game. James recorded his second triple-double in as many games with 24 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, but the defending champions lost for the sixth time in their last eight games and for the third game in a row. Kevin Love scored 21 points and grabbed 16 rebounds for Cleveland, and Kyrie Irving scored 20 points, but the Cavs shot 17 of 34 from the free-throw line. DeMarcus Cousins registered 28 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and three steals for the Kings, who won for the second time in as many games after losing five straight. Darren Collison scored 23 points, and Afflalo added 14. Thunder 114, Pelicans 105 Russell Westbrook surpassed Larry Bird for fifth place in NBA history with his 60th career triple-double - 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists - to power Oklahoma City past New Orleans. It was Westbrook's 23rd triple-double of the season and second in three victories over the Pelicans in 2016-17. New Orleans played the second half without Anthony Davis, who reinjured his right thigh late in the second quarter and finished with eight points and five rebounds. The Pelicans were led by guard E'Twaun Moore with 18 points. Heat 109, Nets 106 Okaro White hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 59 seconds remaining as Miami stormed back late in the fourth quarter and rallied for a victory over Brooklyn. White, whose first 10-day contract expires Thursday, was in the game at crunch time for the second night in a row and capped the comeback from an 18-point deficit as the Heat won their season-high fifth in a row. Miami's Dion Waiters scored 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter. Wayne Ellington added 20 points and Goran Dragic contributed 17 for the Heat, who outscored Brooklyn 38-17 in the fourth quarter. Brook Lopez scored 33 points and hit a career-high seven 3-pointers for Brooklyn. Celtics 120, Rockets 109 Isaiah Thomas scored 11 consecutive Boston points in the fourth quarter as the Celtics came back from 11 points down in the first half to beat Houston, ending a three-game losing streak. Thomas, notching his 29th straight 20-point game, added nine assists and five rebounds in the win. Jae Crowder had 23 points, 10 rebounds and four assists for Boston, and Al Horford contributed 20 points and nine assists. Houston's James Harden finished with 30 points, 12 assists and six rebounds but turned the ball over seven times and was 3 of 15 from the floor before hitting three late baskets that didn't matter. He was 2 of 11 from 3-point range. In other games it was: Hawks 119, Bulls 114; Warriors 113, Hornets 103; 76ers 114, Bucks 109; Grizzlies 101, Raptors 99; Mavericks 103, Knicks 95; Trail Blazers 105, Lakers 98. — Agencies
