NBA ROUNDUP | Friday's other games



Heat 92, Wizards 84
WASHINGTON -- Eddie Jones scored 22 points and Rasual Butler added 10 in the fourth quarter as the Miami Heat defeated the Washington Wizards for their third straight victory. Lamar Odom added 17 points and Dwyane Wade had 15 for the Heat, who have won four of six and seven of nine. Wade sprained his right wrist when he was pushed from behind in a scrum under the Heat basket with 1:20 remaining in regulation.
Hornets 109, Hawks 79
NEW ORLEANS -- David Wesley scored a season-high 32 points, including five 3-pointers, and the Hornets handed the Hawks their ninth straight road loss. It was the most dominant performance in weeks for New Orleans, which came in having lost four of five games -- including a blown 16-point, second-half lead in Cleveland on Tuesday. Wesley, who had some poor shooting nights during the slump, was 13-of-18 from the field.
Nets 82, Pistons 79
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Jason Kidd had 24 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds for his league-leading fifth triple-double. Kidd made all six of his free throws in the final 1:13, and Chauncey Billups missed two 3-pointers in the final seconds. Kidd shot 7-of-18, including 4-of-5 on 3-pointers, and Richard Jefferson scored 27 for the Atlantic Division-leading Nets, who have won eight of 10.
Knicks 98, Grizzlies 94
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Keith Van Horn scored 28 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and Allan Houston added 23 points. The win snapped a seven-game road losing streak for the Knicks, while Memphis dropped its fourth straight and had its six-game home winning streak stopped. Van Horn connected on 10 of 17 shots, and Houston was 9-of-14 from the field as the Knicks shot 52 percent.
Spurs 98, Magic 83
SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs used a late 15-0 run to break open a tight game and win their 12th straight. Tim Duncan led San Antonio with 27 points and 16 rebounds, while Tony Parker added a season-high 22 points and Robert Horry had 14 -- his high total with the Spurs. The Spurs began its winning streak Dec. 5 in Orlando after losing four straight and dropping into last place in the Midwest Division.
Bucks 101, Pacers 96
MILWAUKEE -- Damon Jones scored all 14 of his points in the fourth quarter to help the Milwaukee Bucks climb above .500 for the first time in more than six weeks. Michael Redd scored 26 points, including a key 3-pointer with just over a minute remaining, as the Bucks came back after trailing by as many as 15. Milwaukee outscored Indiana 34-19 in the fourth quarter.
Nuggets 95, Rockets 94
DENVER -- Rookie Carmelo Anthony scored a career-high 37 points and Voshon Lenard hit three free throws after being fouled behind the arc with 8.3 seconds left to give the Denver Nuggets a victory over the Houston Rockets. Anthony was 13-for-22 from the field and scored 22 of his points in the third quarter for the Nuggets, who had lost five straight to Houston.
Celtics 104, Suns 102
PHOENIX -- Ricky Davis hit a 20-foot jumper with 2.8 seconds left and Paul Pierce scored 19 of his 27 points in the second half as the Boston Celtics overcame a 17-point third-quarter deficit and beat the Phoenix Suns. The game was somewhat reminiscent of the teams' meeting three weeks ago when the Suns produced the biggest comeback their history, rallying from 29 points down to win.
Jazz 97, Raptors 94, OT
SALT LAKE CITY -- Andrei Kirilenko scored 17 points and made several big plays in overtime -- mostly with his defense against Vince Carter -- as Utah survived a fourth-quarter collapse and defeated the Toronto Raptors. Toronto scored five points in the final 5 seconds of regulation to force overtime. The game was tied at 92 in overtime when Kirilenko drove and banked in a left- handed hook shot as he was knocked to the floor.
