NEW YORK (AP) — Patty Mills made a 3 to force overtime, Kevin Durant had 34 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, and Brooklyn beat Toronto.
Durant was upgraded from questionable just before the game because Brooklyn has seven players in the NBA’s health and safety protocol, including starters James Harden and LaMarcus Aldridge. Brooklyn won its third straight, with Mills scoring 30 points.
Fred VanVleet led the Raptors with 31 points.
SUNS 111, TRAIL BLAZERS 107, OT
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Deandre Ayton had 28 points and 13 rebounds in his return from a non-COVID-19 illness, and Phoenix held off Portland in overtime.

Damian Lillard had 31 points and 10 assists for the Trail Blazers.
