For the losing side Serb Nikola Jokic had 18 points and 15 rebounds while Italian Danilo Gallinari (left groin strain) missed his fourth straight game. For the Hawks Swiss Thabo Sefolosha missed his sixth straight game with a strained left groin.

Blake Griffin scored a season-high 32 points and the Clippers beat New York 119-115 on Wednesday night after ex-Knick Charles Oakley was ejected and arrested in the first quarter.
