NBA ROUNDUP Tuesday's games

Wizards 109, Hawks 99
ATLANTA -- All Michael Jordan needed to rebound from one of the worst games of his career was to play against the Atlanta Hawks. Jordan scored a season-high 30 points and Jerry Stackhouse added 23 for Washington. On Sunday, Jordan had only two points in 40 minutes -- matching the career low he set last April. Jordan, making his next-to-last appearance in Atlanta, drew the loudest cheers of the night and got a standing ovation when he walked off with 13.6 seconds left. Larry Hughes had 20 for the Wizards, who won their second straight. Robinson scored 33 for the Hawks, who have lost a season-high four in a row. Shareef Abdur-Rahim added 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Timberwolves 96, Lakers 80
MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Garnett scored 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead Minnesota. Reserve Marc Jackson scored 13 points and Troy Hudson had 10 assists -- one short of his season-high -- for the Timberwolves. Shaquille O'Neal led Los Angeles with 17 points and nine rebounds, and Kobe Bryant had 15 points.
Knicks 101, Nets 99
NEW YORK -- After being all but mocked by their cross-river opponent, the New York Knicks summoned some pride and made one final defensive stop to beat the Nets. New York snapped a six-game losing streak to the Nets. Allan Houston scored 29 points, including the go-ahead jumper with 36.6 seconds left. Kurt Thomas added 17, and Othella Harrington and Clarence Weatherspoon each grabbed 13 rebounds. Jason Kidd scored a season-high 39 for the Nets but missed a potential game-tying 12 footer from the lane with 4 seconds left.
Mavericks 118, Pacers 97
DALLAS -- Michael Finley had 33 points and 13 rebounds in just three quarters and Nick Van Exel had 20 points and 10 assists as the Mavericks beat the Pacers in a game between the teams with NBA's best records. The Mavericks improved to 21-3 and avenged a road loss to Indiana last month that prevented them from tying the best start in league history. This victory set a lesser, but still impressive record: Best home start in franchise history, 12-0.
Raptors 122, Bucks 117, OT
MILWAUKEE -- Morris Peterson made two free throws with 7 seconds left in overtime as the Toronto Raptors snapped a four-game losing streak.

Voshon Lenard led the Raptors with 23 points, while Peterson had 21.
Kings 95, Suns 86
