CHICAGO (AP) _ Eddy Curry had 24 points and 10 rebounds Thursday as the Chicago Bulls beat Golden State 119-105 to snapped the Warriors' six-game winning streak.
The Bulls' victory was just their fifth in the last 19 games, but gave them 22 wins _ one more than last season.
Curry's fellow prep-to-pro teammate Tyson Chandler added 23 points and 14 rebounds as the Bulls scored their most points this season.
The win followed controversial statements by rookie guard Jason Williams, who said suggested there was a rift between players and coaches and hinted maybe it was time some players move on _ maybe even him.
Jamal Crawford started in Williams' place, scoring 15 points and a career-high 10 assists in 31 minutes. Williams scored nine points with three assists in 17 minutes. Jalen Rose scored all 21 of his points in the second half.
Gilbert Arenas scored 28 to lead Golden State and Antawn Jamison added 22.
Spurs 92, Nets 78
In San Antonio, Tim Duncan scored 21 points and grabbed 21 rebounds, and Tony Parker added 21 points, 10 in the fourth quarter, as San Antonio beat New Jersey.
The Nets, who lost their fifth in six games, cut the Spurs' margin to 83-77 with 1:41 left on consecutive jump shots by Jason Collins and Kenyon Martin. But San Antonio finished with a 9-1 run capped by a 3-pointer by Duncan at the final buzzer.
The Spurs, who allowed Phoenix to shoot 59 percent in a loss Tuesday, limited the Nets to 36.6 percent from the floor. Jason Kidd shot 4-for-19 for 11 points, about half his season average, but he had 13 assists.
David Robinson left in the third quarter with a strained lower back, an injury that has plagued him all season.
76ers 88, Blazers 60
In Portland, Oregon, Allen Iverson scored 36 points as Philadelphia overpowered the Trail Blazers.
The 76ers led by as many as 32 points as they snapped a three-game losing streak to Portland.
Philadelphia was without forward Kenny Thomas, who sprained his right ankle early in a 107-99 loss to Sacramento on Monday.
Rasheed Wallace led the Blazers with 17 points and nine rebounds.
