Washington
Russell Westbrook sat down for good midway through the third quarter while Oklahoma City was in the midst of missing 24 consecutive shots to trail Washington by 34 points as Bradley Beal and John Wall carried the Wizards to a 120-98 victory over the Thunder on Monday night.
Westbrook entered the game leading the NBA in scoring average at 31.2 and third in assists at 10.2 per game, along with a total of 26 triple-doubles, but he finished with only 17 points — equaling his second-lowest total of the season — on 5-for-19 shooting. He had four assists and four rebounds.

Grizzlies 112, Nets 103: Mike Conley scored 32 points, Marc Gasol had 19 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, and Memphis beat Brooklyn. Brook Lopez and Spencer Dinwiddie each had 17 points as the Nets lost their 13th straight overall and 15th straight at home to set a new franchise record for futility.
Spurs 110, Pacers 106: Kawhi Leonard scored 32 points and San Antonio clinched its NBA-record 20th consecutive winning season. The Spurs (42-13) broke a tie with the Utah Jazz, who had 19 straight winning seasons from 1985-2004.
