THE Chicago Bulls record run of avoiding successive NBA defeats is over after a 93-99 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday.
Goran Dragic scored 21 points and Luis Scola added 18 points and 12 rebounds for Houston, which trailed by 15 points in the first half before a 14-1 run late in the third, and then a 17-2 burst turned the game on its head.
Luol Deng scored 24 points for the Bulls, who had gone a team-record 86 regular-season games without dropping successive games. That is second only to Utah's 95-game effort in the late 1990s.
In Oklahoma City, the hosts' six-game winning streak was ended by Memphis.
O.J. Mayo scored 22 points, including a key 3-pointer with 17 seconds left, while Tony Allen added 15 for the Grizzlies, who were without starting point guard Mike Conley for a second straight game because of an ankle injury as the Grizzlies beat Thunder 94-88.
Kevin Durant led the Thunder with 21 points.
In Dallas, Los Angeles brought up its longest winning streak for 20 years, notching a sixth straight victory by comfortably beating defending champion Dallas 94-75.
Randy Foye had 28 points with a career-high eight 3-pointers while Blake Griffin had 15 points and 16 rebounds for the Clippers, who last won six in a row in March 1992.
Foye was 10 of 19 from the floor, including 8 of 15 from 3-point range.
Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas with 19 points.
In Portland, Paul Millsap had 31 points and pulled down 11 rebounds as Utah won its first game in four, beating Portland 102-97.
In Sacramento, Tyreke Evans had 24 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists to lead Sacramento 116-108 over slumping Minnesota.
Elsewhere in the NBA, it was: Bucks 112, Wizards 98.
