New York

DeMar DeRozan made a turnaround jumper with 1.9 seconds remaining, finishing with 37 points and leading the Toronto Raptors to a 92-91 victory over the New York Knicks on Monday night.

The Raptors won their fourth in a row, doing it with DeRozan and defense after learning earlier in the day that All-Star Kyle Lowry will have right wrist surgery that could sideline him the rest of the regular season.

Carmelo Anthony scored 24 points for the Knicks, but finished a 9-for-26 night when he missed a long jumper as time expired.

Derrick Rose and Courtney Lee each scored 16 points for the Knicks, who waived Brandon Jennings on Monday and learned Joakim Noah will have knee surgery that will knock him out for at least three weeks.

Hawks 114, Celtics 98: Dennis Schroder had 21 points to help Atlanta snap a three-game losing streak with a win over Boston. Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard each added 17 points.

Warriors 119, 76ers 108: Kevin Durant had 27 points in his return to the lineup and Golden State overcame the worst 3-point shooting performance of Stephen Curry’s career in a victory over Philadelphia.
