NBA Roundup: Towns propels Knicks to win over Pacers


NEW YORK — Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points and 15 rebounds in his Knicks home debut, Jalen Brunson scored 26 points and New York routed the Indiana Pacers 123-98 on Friday night.

Mikal Bridges also scored 21 points and Josh Hart had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Knicks, who bounced back powerfully after they were blown out 132-109 in Boston on Tuesday in the NBA season opener.

Indiana All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton was scoreless and went 0 for 7 on 3-pointers, falling to 1 for 16 behind the arc this season. Reserve Bennedict Mathurin of Montreal scored 20 points.

CAVALIERS 113, PISTONS 101

CLEVELAND — Donovan Mitchell and Dean Wade scored 19 points apiece and Cleveland won its home opener over Detroit and former Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff.

Jarrett Allen added 17 and 11 rebounds as the Cavs won their 10th straight over the Pistons to give new coach Kenny Atkinson a win in his home debut and a 2-0 start.

Bickerstaff got a mixed reaction from fans in his return after being fired after last season despite leading the Cavs to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Cade Cunningham scored 33 and Jaden Ivey 22 for the Pistons, who were still within eight in the fourth quarter when Wade made back-to-back 3-pointers in a 31-second span to put the Cavs ahead 105-91 with 6:17 left.

TORONTO — Scottie Barnes scored 27 points, Jakob Poeltl had 19, and Toronto won to snap a seven-game losing streak against Philadelphia.

It had been nearly two years since Toronto’s last win over Philadelphia, a 119-109 victory on Oct. 26, 2022.

Raptors rookie Jamison Battle scored 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter before fouling out. Fellow rookie Jonathan Mogbo had 12 points, five assists and nine rebounds. The Raptors outrebounded Philadelphia 54-28.

Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 28 points and Tyrese Maxey had 24, and the 76ers are still winless after losing to Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Philadelphia guard Kyle Lowry got a loud ovation when he was announced as a starter against his former team. Lowry scored 14 points.

HAWKS 125, HORNETS 120

ATLANTA — Trae Young scored 38 points and Atlanta overcame LaMelo Ball’s 34 points and career-best nine 3-pointers to beat Charlotte.

De’Andre Hunter added 24 points for Atlanta.

Charlotte never led but pulled even twice in the final period.

Ball scored 34 points in the Hornets’ 110-105 win at Houston on Wednesday to open the regular season. He matched that total with his ninth 3-pointer with 7:31 remaining.

The Hornets were without two starters, including guard Brandon Miller. The team said Miller will be out at least a week because of a strained left glute. Center Mark Williams was held out with a strained tendon in his left foot.
