AROUND THE NBA | Friday's other games

Hawks 81, Spurs 79
ATLANTA -- Jason Terry hit a fallaway jumper at the buzzer to give coach Terry Stotts a victory in his debut as the Atlanta Hawks beat the San Antonio Spurs.
Stotts, a longtime assistant who joined the team this summer, took over for Lon Kruger, who was fired Thursday.
After Tim Duncan tied it with a hook from in close, Terry took an inbound pass with 4.3 seconds left and dribbled past Tony Parker and Bruce Bowen. He hoisted an off-balance, line-drive 18-footer just before the final horn, and the ball swished through.
Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 27 points and 11 rebounds for the Hawks, who won for only the second time in eight games.
Tim Duncan had 20 of his 27 in the first half for the Spurs, who'd won four in a row.
Grizzlies 99, Magic 86
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Mike Batiste scored 13 points, including eight in the fourth quarter, as the Grizzlies' reserves led a fourth-quarter comeback against Orlando.
Gordan Giricek scored 18 points to lead Memphis. Tracy McGrady, who scored 46 against Detroit on Wednesday, led the Magic with 35 points.
Heat 90, Celtics 70
MIAMI -- Eddie Jones scored 28 points and reserve Vladimir Stepania had 14 points and 14 rebounds as Miami beat Boston.
Travis Best added 13 points, and Brian Grant had 12 rebounds for the Heat, who beat the Celtics for the second time in nine days.
Paul Pierce had 19 points and Antoine Walker 16 as the Celtics shot just 27.8 percent from the field, on 22-of-79.
Nets 110, Bucks 90
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Kenyon Martin got New Jersey going with two fastbreak dunks early in the third quarter and the Nets rolled to their 12th straight home win.
Lucious Harris scored a season-high 25 points, and Martin added eight of his 21 points in the big third quarter as the Nets won for the 17th time in 18 games at the Continental Airlines Arena.
Forced to play a halfcourt game instead of their usual transition style, the Nets responded by hitting a season-high 54.8 percent from the field in moving within a win of tying their team record for home wins.
Knicks 99, Rockets 83
HOUSTON -- Charlie Ward scored all nine of his points during a key fourth-quarter run as New York cruised past Houston.
Latrell Sprewell had 21 points and Allen Houston 20 for the Knicks, who used a 16-2 run early in the final period to open up an 82-62 lead, New York's largest of the night.
Steve Francis had 27 points, while Yao Ming added 17 as the Rockets lost their season-high third in a row.
Timberwolves 113, Bulls 100
CHICAGO -- Kevin Garnett had his third triple-double of the season, and Radoslav Nesterovic scored a season-high 23 points for Minnesota.
Garnett finished with 25 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. All five Minnesota starters finished in double figures. It was Minnesota's seventh straight victory over the Bulls, a streak dating to April 1998. The Bulls, meanwhile, saw their four-game home winning streak, their longest in almost five years, stopped.
Jamal Crawford was one of the few highlights for the Bulls with a career-high 20 points. Jalen Rose led the Bulls with 22 points and a season-high nine rebounds.
Suns 108, Clippers 95
PHOENIX -- Stephon Marbury scored 26 points and rookie Casey Jacobsen added a career-high 19 as the Suns won their fourth in a row.
Jacobsen made five of seven 3-pointers for the surprising Suns, who have won eight of nine and are tied with San Antonio for the third-best record in the Western Conference at 18-11.
Shawn Marion, averaging 20.6 points and 10 rebounds for Phoenix, was helped from the court after spraining his left ankle with 10:59 left in the third quarter.
Despite foul trouble, Elton Brand scored 29 points in 31 minutes for Los Angeles after missing two games with a strained right calf.
