Hornets hold off Suns 122-115 to snap 5-game skid

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to acquire three-time scoring champion James Harden from the Houston Rockets, a deal that reunites him with Kevin Durant and gives him the move that he has sought for weeks, said a person with knowledge of the situation. Harden is going to the Nets as part of a four-team deal that also involves Indiana and Cleveland, according to the person who spoke to Sports Betting News Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the trade call with the NBA – which signs off on all deals – has not been completed. Other key players: Victor Oladipo goes from Indiana to Houston, and Caris Levert goes from Brooklyn to Indiana, the person said, adding that Cleveland was also part of the massive trade.

L.A. trailed by as much as 27 points and matched the biggest fourth-quarter comeback in playoff history when, trailing 85-64 after three quarters, they went on a 26-1 run. Nick Young had 19 points off the bench and Chris Paul sank two free throws in the final seconds for the win.
