CHICAGO BULLS 91, Philadelphia 76ers 81
The 76ers had their losing streak extended to 24 games thanks in part to a workmanlike effort by the Bulls, who finally put the game away when Taj Gibson canned a jumper and D.J. Augustin hit a 3-pointer with 2:30 to go. Joakim Noah scored 20 points and had three blocked shots for Chicago, Jimmy Butler added 17 points, Gibson had 16 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks and Augustin scored 16 points. Thaddeus Young paced Philadelphia with 28 points and Henry Sims had 18 points and 15 assists. Michael Carter-Williams grabbed 11 boards and Byron Mullens had three blocked shots.

MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES 82, Indiana Pacers 71
The Grizzlies held Indiana to a season low in points and moved a game ahead of Phoenix for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Mike Conley scored 21 points for Memphis and Zach Randolph added 18 points and 13 rebounds. Lance Stephenson had 15 points for the Pacers.
