CJ McCollum scored six of his 45 points in overtime and the host New Orleans Pelicans set a franchise record by overcoming a 25-point deficit in defeating the Utah Jazz 123-119 on Monday night.

Dejounte Murray had 26 points and 11 assists, Trey Murphy III scored 24 points and Jordan Hawkins added 18 for the Pelicans, who had beaten the Jazz 136-123 on Friday night.

Keyonte George scored 23 points to lead Utah. Isaiah Collier added 20 points and 11 assists, Walker Kessler had 19 points and 13 rebounds and Svi Mykhailiuk also scored 19 points.

McCollum made a layup to start the scoring in overtime, and he scored four more points to help the Pelicans take a 118-113 lead. George made a layup and added two free throws to get Utah within one with 49.7 seconds left, but Murphy answered with a 3-pointer to put the game on ice.

Utah scored the first 14 points of the game, led 38-19 after one quarter, took its largest lead at 46-21 early in the second and led by 20 at halftime.

Celtics 125, Warriors 85

Jayson Tatum led six Boston scorers in double figures with a game-high 22 points as the Celtics steamrolled Golden State in San Francisco as part of the NBA’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day slate.

Kristaps Porzingis chipped in 18 points and Jaylen Brown scored 17 for Boston. Golden State had not lost by 40 at home since Jan. 15, 1985. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 18 points but was just 4-for-12 from 3-point range.

The Warriors were held to 34.8 percent shooting overall and 26.4 percent shooting from deep, connecting on just 14 of 53 3-point tries. Andrew Wiggins really struggled for Golden State, missing all four of his 3-point attempts and finishing just 1-for-11 from the floor in a four-point effort.

Pistons 107, Rockets 96

Cade Cunningham scored 19 of his game-high 32 points in the third quarter and Jalen Duren added a double-double without missing a shot to help visiting Detroit beat Houston.

Cunningham added nine rebounds and seven assists to offset his 10-turnover performance. Duren posted 16 points on 8-of-8 shooting to go along with 14 rebounds plus four steals and two blocks for the Pistons, who snapped a two-game skid.

Fred VanVleet led the Rockets with 20 points and tied his season best with six steals. Jalen Green added 19 points as Houston lost for the second time in three games.

Hornets 110, Mavericks 105

LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges each scored 23 points and Charlotte defeated visiting Dallas to notch its first three-game winning streak of the season.

Nick Smith Jr. finished with 19 points and Mark Williams scored 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter for the Hornets, who hit 17 shots from 3-point range. Reserves Moussa Diabate and Cody Martin each added 10 points.

Kyrie Irving’s 33 points and Daniel Gafford’s season-high 31 points were tops for the Mavericks, who managed to score only five points in the last six minutes. Dallas was 6-for-32 (18.8 percent) from long range.

Grizzlies 108, Timberwolves 106

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 15 of his team-high 24 points in the fourth quarter to lead Memphis past visiting Minnesota, improving the Grizzlies’ home record to 16-5.

Desmond Bane added 22 points and Ja Morant contributed 19 points and seven assists for Memphis, which won for the fourth time in five games. Jackson led the team with 11 rebounds.

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 32 points and Naz Reid had 29 points and eight rebounds off the bench. Edwards missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Knicks 119, Hawks 110

Jalen Brunson scored 34 points and helped host New York continue its dominance on Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a victory over Atlanta.

Brunson made 12 of 18 shots from the field while recording six assists and one steal as the Knicks improved to 24-15 in MLK Day games, the most wins on the holiday in NBA history.

The win was New York’s first in three games against Atlanta this season and ended the team’s three-game losing streak against the Hawks. Atlanta was led by Trae Young, who had 27 points and six assists.

Cavaliers 118, Suns 92

Donovan Mitchell erupted for 33 points as Cleveland cooled off visiting Phoenix.

Mitchell also had five rebounds and five assists for Cleveland, which seemed unaffected by the absences of Evan Mobley (calf), Caris LeVert (wrist) and Isaac Okoro (shoulder). The Cavaliers led by as many as 32 and put on a clinic from 3-point range, hitting 19 of 46 attempts from distance (41.3 percent).

Kevin Durant netted a team-high 23 points as Phoenix fell for just the second time in seven games. Devin Booker added 15 points, Tyus Jones had 13 and Grayson Allen totaled 10.

Bulls 112, Clippers 99

Zach LaVine scored 35 points and Josh Giddey added 18 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists as Chicago ended a season-worst five-game losing streak with a victory over Los Angeles in Inglewood, Calif.

Talen Horton-Tucker delivered 18 points and Nikola Vucevic had 14 as the Bulls pulled out the victory on the second night of a back-to-back after losing to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Norman Powell scored 27 points and James Harden added 17 for the short-handed Clippers, who were without Kawhi Leonard (right knee injury management) and Ivica Zubac (eye).
