Matthew Dellavedova had a night to forget as Milwaukee managed just 11 points in the final quarter to be hammered 96-73 by Miami in the NBA.

Dion Waiters scored 23 points at home on Thursday night to lead the way for the Heat, who ended a six-game losing streak - their longest since 2008.

Dellavedova couldn't get on the scorer's sheet, the Australian missing all of his seven field-goal attempts in his 31 minutes on court, but racked up nine assists and two steals.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Tony Snell each had 14 points for the Bucks, who have lost four of their last five.

Miami outscored Milwaukee 29-11 in the fourth quarter.

For the Heat, Josh Richardson added 18 points, while Hassan Whiteside had 12 points, 17 rebounds, and eight blocks.

Elsewhere, Chicago used scoring spurts in the third and fourth quarters to secure an 85-77 win at Utah, extending the Bulls' winning run to four games.

Chicago used a couple of 9-0 bursts in the second half to keep the Jazz at bay, and while the hosts got within five points late, Dwyane Wade (18 points) and Jimmy Butler (20 points and 12 rebounds) hit jump shots to seal the result.

Rudy Gobert finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds for Utah.

Houston's Harden had 26 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds for his third triple-double of the season, powering the Rockets past Portland 126-109.

Harden completed the triple-double in the third quarter for the Bulls, who saw starting point guard Patrick Beverley make his first appearance of the season following knee surgery.

CJ McCollum led Portland with 26 points.

Washington's John Wall had 23 points and 11 assists as the Wizards defeated New York 119-112.

Minnesota's Andrew Wiggins had 35 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Timberwolves past Philadelphia 110-86.
