It was the first loss of the season for the Cavaliers, who were the league's last unbeaten team.

Bazemore hit a pair of big baskets in the final four minutes. His 3-pointer with 3:33 left extended the Hawks' lead to 101-95 while his baseline jumper in the final seconds put the game out of reach after a three-point play from Kevin Love pulled Cleveland within 108-106 with 25 seconds left.

Grizzlies 108, Nuggets 107

Center Marc Gasol hit a short shot in the lane as time expired to lift the Memphis Grizzlies to a 108-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets.

Denver guard Emmanuel Mudiay, who scored a game-high 23 points, appeared to have made the winning basket with 7.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter when guard Gary Harris stole the ball and passed to Mudiay, who finished with a running dunk.

But the Grizzlies, after turning the ball over with 4.7 seconds left, got a reprieve when Mike Conley stole an inbounds pass.

Conley drove toward the basket and the ball flew out of bounds but was ruled Memphis ball.

Vince Carter, who scored 20 points off the bench, lobbed the ball from the baseline to Gasol for the winning shot. Gasol finished with 19 points and six assists.

Forward Zach Randolph scored 16 points with eight rebounds off the bench.

Kings 102, Pelicans 94

DeMarcus Cousins scored 28 points, but it was two defensive plays that helped the Sacramento Kings pull away for a 102-94 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Cousins blocked a shot, leading to his own layup, then slapped the ball away from New Orleans guard Langston Galloway to create a Darren Collison layup, part of an 8-0 fourth-quarter run that proved to be the difference.

Rudy Gay had 21 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Kings (4-5).

Center Anthony Davis finished with 34 points and eight rebounds for the Pelicans (0-8).
