NBA ROUNDUP Saturday's game

Raptors 81, Nets 80
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Morris Peterson's free throw with 0.8 seconds remaining gave Toronto the victory over New Jersey, which played without Jason Kidd. The Raptors let a double-digit lead evaporate but recovered for their first road win in six tries this season. Vince Carter finished with 21 points and nine assists, and beat Kenyon Martin on a jump ball with 3.1 seconds to play. Martin scored 26 points and the teammate with whom he feuded in practice Thursday, Alonzo Mourning, poured in a season-high 15. But it wasn't enough for a Nets team without its leader, Kidd, who has a sore left knee.
Knicks 99, 76ers 88
NEW YORK -- Shandon Anderson replaced the injured Allan Houston in the starting lineup and scored 20 points in New York's victory. Howard Eisley added 17 points and nine assists, while Charlie Ward scored 18, making four 3s, and Kurt Thomas had 14 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Allen Iverson scored 27 for Philadelphia.
Timberwolves 103, Clippers 91
MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Garnett scored a season-high 30 points and grabbed 19 rebounds, and Minnesota overcame an impressive performance by Quentin Richardson. Richardson led the Clippers with a career-high 36 points on 12-for-19 shooting to keep Los Angeles within striking distance.
Mavericks 115, Nuggets 101
DALLAS -- Antoine Walker scored seven of his season-high 25 points during a decisive third-quarter run and Dallas overcame a sluggish start. Antawn Jamison had a season-best 26 points, and Steve Nash added 18 points and eight assists for Dallas. Dirk Nowitzki recovered from a three-point first half to score 19 points and 11 rebounds to help the Mavericks win their third straight and fifth in six games. Walker also had 14 rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots. Andre Miller had 22 points and Jon Barry 20 for the Nuggets, who had won four of their previous five. Rookie Carmelo Anthony, who had 14 points at halftime, finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds for Denver. Anthony went 7-for-18 from the field and missed all six 3-point tries.
Suns 100, Heat 98
PHOENIX -- Amare Stoudemire scored 24 points and Joe Johnson hit three key 3-pointers to help Phoenix win its third straight game. Johnson had 17 points, Shawn Marion 14, Scott Williams 12, Stephon Marbury 11 and Jake Voskuhl 10 for Phoenix. Rookie Dwyane Wade had a season-high 27, Lamar Odom had 24, including 17 in the second half, and Eddie Jones 22 for the Heat, who fell to 3-11 in ending their five-game West Coast trip.
