The Kings, who have lost 11 in a row against their Northern California rivals, were excited to have a healthy DeMarcus Cousins for the first time in three meetings with the Warriors this season. But the All-Star big man played less than 13 minutes before getting ejected. After sitting out most of the first half in foul trouble, Cousins was upset after getting called for his fifth foul in the third quarter.

at San Antonio 101, Minnesota 95: Kawhi Leonard had 17 points and 11 rebounds and the Spurs remained unbeaten at home, joining the 1978 Portland Trail Blazers and 1986 Houston Rockets as the only Western Conference teams to win their first 18 home games.

at Utah 95, Philadelphia 91: Gordon Hayward scored 24 points for the Jazz, which stopped the 76ers (2-31) from winning consecutive games for the first time after they won Saturday at Phoenix.

Cleveland 101, at Phoenix 97: Kyrie Irving scored 22 points and made a three-pointer as the shot clock expired with 21.9 seconds to play in his fourth game since returning from knee surgery, helping the Cavaliers send the Suns to their fifth consecutive loss.

at Dallas 103, Milwaukee 93: Wesley Matthews scored 22 points and made two clutch three-point shots in the fourth quarter to help the Mavericks hold off the Bucks.
