NBA roundup: recap, scores, notes for every game played on January 15

Atlanta Hawks 111, Milwaukee Bucks 98

ATLANTA -- It didn't take long for Mike Dunleavy to change his mind about the trade that brought him to Atlanta.

The 14-year veteran almost sought a buyout when he was acquired by the Hawks in a deal that sent Kyle Korver to Cleveland on Jan. 7. But after he was persuaded to join the club by Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, it seems like a great fit for both the player and the team.

Dunleavy, playing only his second game since the trade, scored a season-high 20 points and helped the Atlanta Hawks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 111-98 on Sunday at Philips Arena.

Dunleavy was 4 for 5 on 3-pointers and posted his first 20-point game since April 5, 2015, when he played for Chicago.

Atlanta has won for the eighth time of its last nine games.

Atlanta also got 24 points from guard Kent Bazemore, who had four 3-pointers, and 18 points, eight rebounds and five assists from forward Paul Millsap.

Milwaukee (20-19) was led by forward Giannis Antetokounmpo with 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

Oklahoma City Thunder 122, Sacramento Kings 118

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Russell Westbrook scored 36 points to record his 20th triple-double of the season, and Evan Kanter came off the bench to score 29 as Oklahoma City beat Sacramento at the Golden 1 Center.

Westbrook also collected 11 rebounds and 10 assists for the 57th triple-double of his career. He is two behind Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird for fifth on the NBA's all-time list.

Victor Oladipo added 23 points and made two free throws with 11.4 seconds left to help Oklahoma City hold off a furious 14-4 charge by Sacramento down the stretch that cut the Thunder lead to 118-116. Oladipo scored 17 in the first half.

Chicago Bulls 108, Memphis Grizzlies 104

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Doug McDermott scored 31 points -- including two free throws with 6.6 seconds left -- and Chicago survived a late rally by Memphis to earn a victory at the FedExForum.

McDermott, who was averaging 9.7 points entering the game, had struggled in his past four outings by going 7-of-31 shooting with only 21 points. At the half, he recorded 22 points and the Bulls had a 52-46 lead.

With Dwyane Wade sitting out the game to rest, McDermott picked up the scoring slack. He finished 9-of-16 shooting with six rebounds and was 10-of-11 from the free-throw line.
