ROUNDUP | Monday's games

Rockets 74, 76ers 66
PHILADELPHIA -- Cuttino Mobley scored 19 points, and Yao Ming and Jim Jackson each added 12 for Houston. The Rockets, who won for the seventh time in nine games, took a lead late in the first quarter and never trailed again. They led by as many as 15 in the fourth. The Rockets shot only 33 percent, but the Sixers were even worse at 32 percent. Houston went 9-for-28 from 3-point range, while the Sixers missed all nine attempts. Allen Iverson scored 15 for the Sixers, who had their lowest point total of the season. They played without starters Derrick Coleman (left knee strain) and Glenn Robinson (left ankle strain).
Knicks 89, Celtics 86
NEW YORK -- Michael Doleac scored New York's final four points and grabbed eight of his nine rebounds while playing the entire fourth quarter. Doleac, subbing for starting center Dikembe Mutombo, made the Knicks' final shot from the field with 1:55 remaining, and his two free throws with 5.4 seconds remaining provided the final margin. Paul Pierce missed an off-balance 3-pointer on Boston's last possession. The win was only the third of the season for the Knicks, who got 26 points from Allan Houston and 21 from Keith Van Horn -- 13 in the third quarter when the Knicks made up most of a big deficit. Kurt Thomas added 12 points and 17 rebounds, and Howard Eisley had nine assists. New York snapped its eight-game losing streak to the Celtics. Vin Baker led Boston with 20 points.
Wizards 106, Hawks 97
ATLANTA -- Jarvis Hayes keyed a fourth-quarter run with a go-ahead 3-pointer and Washington snapped a four-game losing streak. Larry Hughes led the Wizards with 26 points, and Gilbert Arenas added 23. Washington outscored the Hawks 30-19 down the stretch. Hayes finished with 16 points. Jason Terry had 25 points for Atlanta, and Shareef Abdur-Rahim scored 20.
Mavericks 105, Trail Blazers 98
DALLAS -- Dirk Nowitzki overcame a slow start to energize a third-quarter rally, and Steve Nash had his first career triple-double to lead Dallas. Nowitzki, who made his first two shots and then went more than 27 minutes without scoring again, had 20 points and eight rebounds. Nash had 14 points, 12 assists and a career-high 10 rebounds. Rasheed Wallace had 31 points and eight rebounds, and Zach Randolph had 26 points, 19 rebounds and six assists, but it wasn't enough to keep Portland from falling to 0-4 on the road.
Jazz 90, Magic 88
SALT LAKE CITY -- Andrei Kirilenko scored 25 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, Matt Harpring had 14 points and 19 rebounds and Utah extended Orlando's losing streak to 10 straight. Greg Ostertag had 10 points and 10 rebounds and Carlos Arroyo had 16 points and five assists for the Jazz. Tracy McGrady finished with 29 points to lead the Magic, but had just three points in the final quarter on four shots. Juwan Howard added 21 points for Orlando, which hasn't won since opening night.
