NBA ROUNDUP Tuesday's other games

Hawks 83, Wizards 73
WASHINGTON -- Shareef Abdur-Rahim had 25 points and 16 rebounds to help the Atlanta Hawks end a nine-game road losing streak. Stephen Jackson scored 16 points, Jason Terry added 13 and Dion Glover 10 for the Hawks, who hadn't won on the road since beating Milwaukee 101-93 on Nov. 18. Larry Hughes had 24 points for the Wizards, who have lost five in a row. The Wizards, who tied a franchise record for fewest wins in December with two, managed only two field goals and a goaltending bucket from the field in the final quarter, in which they shot 3-for-17.
Knicks 102, Heat 73
NEW YORK -- Keith Van Horn had a steal and buzzer-beating dunk to cap a dominant first quarter, and the New York Knicks -- after making a trade -- cruised past the Miami Heat. The Knicks won their fourth in a row, with all the victories coming in convincing fashion, for their first four-game winning streak in 23 months. The last three victories have all been by at least 20 points, the first time New York has done that since November, 1997. Van Horn scored 22 points, shooting 10-for-16 from the field in breaking 20 for the fifth time in six games. Shandon Anderson came off the bench to add 21.
Timberwolves 98, Bulls 93
MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Garnett had 28 points and 15 rebounds to lead Minnesota to its eighth victory in nine games. Latrell Sprewell had 27 points -- 20 in the first half -- and Sam Cassell had 21 points and nine assists for Minnesota, which beat the Bulls for the 10th straight time. The Timberwolves held on despite blowing a 20-point first-half lead and missing nine free throws in the fourth quarter, including four straight by Garnett in the final two minutes. The Bulls stayed in it thanks to their reserves, who outscored Minnesota's 29-10. Eddy Curry, playing in just his second game since returning from a bone bruise to his knee, had 16 points before fouling out after 24 minutes.
SuperSonics 105, Grizzlies 99
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Rashard Lewis scored 33 points and Ray Allen had nine in the final three minutes to lead Seattle past slumping Memphis. Lewis and Allen scored Seattle's final 15 points as the SuperSonics pulled away late. Allen finished with 22 points, playing in his fourth game of the season after right ankle surgery. The Grizzlies have lost seven straight, matching their longest losing streak under second-year coach Hubie Brown.
Mavericks 101, Bucks 92
DALLAS -- Antoine Walker had 22 points and 14 rebounds, and Dirk Nowitzki made two key fourth-quarter 3-pointers to help Dallas withstand a late rally by Milwaukee. Steve Nash added 14 points and 12 assists, Antawn Jamison came off the bench to score 17, and Nowitzki had 20 points and 11 rebounds to help Dallas to its third straight win. The Mavericks improved to 14-2 at home.
Raptors 81, Nuggets 74
DENVER -- Alvin Williams and Jalen Rose each had 17 points, and Williams hit four free throws in the last two minutes as Toronto snapped Denver's three-game winning streak. Vince Carter added 15 points on 5-for-16 shooting. Toronto has now won two of its last 20 road games against Western Conference opponents. Carmelo Anthony had 19 points and seven rebounds, while Voshon Lenard added 17 points for the Nuggets, who lost for only the fourth time at home.
