NBA: Bulls Lose; Bucks Win

GRIZZLIES-BULLS
 
Conley, Gasol lead Grizzlies over Bulls 98-91
 
CHICAGO  - Mike Conley and Marc Gasol each scored 27 points to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 98-91 win against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
 
Conley and Gasol scored 18 of the team's 24 points in the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies held off the Bulls, who lost for the sixth time in seven games.
 
Memphis, which had lost five straight before winning Monday, earned its second straight win.
 
Chicago never led in the second half, but Nikola Mirotic had a pair of tying 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Both were answered by Gasol, his teammate on the Spanish national team.
 
The Bulls were without Dwyane Wade down the stretch after he injured his right elbow with 8:34 remaining. He did not return.
 
Rajon Rondo scored 17 points to lead Chicago.
 
BUCKS-CLIPPERS
 
Bucks hold off Clippers 97-96 when Griffin misses late
 
LOS ANGELES - Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton each scored 16 points to lead six Milwaukee players in double figures, and the Bucks held off the Los Angeles Clippers 97-96 on Wednesday night when Blake Griffin's last-second shot rolled off the rim.
 
DeAndre Jordan had 22 points and 17 rebounds for the Clippers. Griffin added 18.
 
Milwaukee led by seven with less than three minutes to play, but baskets by Jordan brought the Clippers within one. With 5.1 seconds left, Los Angeles called a timeout and ran a play for Griffin, who drove the lane and put up a short shot that was off target.
 
The Bucks improved to 11-5 since losing second-leading scorer Jabari Parker to a season-ending knee surgery. They are seventh in the Eastern Conference, a half-game ahead of Detroit and Miami.
