Orlando's Tracy McGrady led all scorers with 31 points, Mike Miller added 29 and Grant Hill had 20 points, 14 rebounds and seven turnovers.

Nets 106, Suns 93
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jason Kidd had 20 points, seven assists and six rebounds as New Jersey made amends for a dismal game in Phoenix less than two weeks ago. Richard Jefferson added 19 points and Rodney Rogers had 18 as the Nets had six players in double figures in atoning for an 82-75 loss in Phoenix on Nov. 27 -- New Jersey's lowest-scoring game of the season. Rookie Amare Stoudemire had 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Suns, who have lost five straight on the road.
Clippers 94, Hornets 90
NEW ORLEANS -- Elton Brand scored 13 of a season-high 29 points in fourth quarter as Los Angeles handed New Orleans its first home loss of the season. Brand, who surpassed 20 points for the sixth straight game, scored seven straight points after Baron Davis' 3-pointer gave New Orleans an 81-79 lead. The Hornets, meanwhile, uncharacteristically fell apart in the final three minutes, turning the ball over twice and missing a pair of long jump shots.
Timberwolves 92, Nuggets 84
DENVER -- Troy Hudson scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and Kevin Garnett had 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead Minnesota. Hudson and Garnett combined for 18 points in the fourth quarter for the Timberwolves, who had lost two of their previous three games. Garnett has double-doubles in 11 straight games. Juwan Howard led the Nuggets with 20 points and seven rebounds.
