Detroit also got 12 points from Ben Wallace and Tayshaun Prince and 11 from Richard Hamilton. No starter played more than 31 minutes. Lue led the Magic with 21 points, and Keith Bogans added 15 points and nine rebounds.
Bucks 103, Nets 98
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Milwaukee Bucks spoiled the long-awaited return of All-Stars Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin, rallying from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the New Jersey Nets.

The Knicks' team president attended a game at the arena for the first time since being fired as Pacers coach in August, but his new-look Knicks were no match for the Pacers.

Trail Blazers 91, Lakers 80
LOS ANGELES -- Damon Stoudamire scored 24 points, and Zach Randolph had 22 points, nine rebounds and five assists as the Portland Trail Blazers gave their playoff hopes a boost. The Blazers (40-37) won for the 10th time in 14 games to move within a half-game of Utah for the final Western Conference playoff berth. The loss was the second straight following an 11-game winning streak for the Lakers, and put a damper on their hopes of gaining the conference's top seed in the playoffs.
Warriors 97, Rockets 90
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Troy Murphy scored 20 points, and the Golden State Warriors sent the fading Houston Rockets to their fifth straight loss. Jason Richardson added 19 points as the Warriors won for the 10th time in 12 games.
