Isaiah Thomas scored 29 of his career-high 52 points in the fourth quarter, setting a club record for points in a period in the Boston Celtics’ 117-114 win over the Miami Heat.

Thomas made six three-pointers and converted a three-point play in the fourth quarter to break the franchise record of 24 points in a quarter set by Larry Bird in 1983 and matched by Todd Day in 1995.

at San Antonio 110, Portland 94: Danny Green and Tony Parker each had 18 points and the Spurs overcame another listless first half to beat the Trail Blazers. San Antonio has won 13 of 15.

at Minnesota 119, Milwaukee 99: Andrew Wiggins scored 31 points and Karl-Anthony Towns had 18 points and 16 rebounds to help the Timberwolves over the Bucks. The Wolves shot 55.8% from the field and hit 13 of 25 three-pointers.

at Atlanta 105, Detroit 98: Paul Millsap scored 26 points and Kyle Korver added a season-high 22 on as the Hawks beat the Pistons. The win helped the Hawks forget about the first time these teams met here four weeks ago, when the Pistons won by 26.
