NBA ROUNDUP Monday's other games

Mavericks 94, Bulls 93
CHICAGO -- Michael Finley hit the winning shot with 3.2 seconds left and scored 27 points to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a victory against the Chicago Bulls. Chicago's Ben Gordon hit a 3-pointer from the corner to give Chicago a 93-91 lead with 12 seconds left. Nowitzki was fouled by Tyson Chandler with nine seconds left, hit the first free throw, but missed the second. But Dallas' Josh Howard sneaked around Chandler to get the rebound. Chandler tapped the ball out of Howard's hands. On the ensuing inbounds play, Finley hit a 17-footer. Chicago's Kirk Hinrich missed a 15-foot jumper as time expired.
Heat 106, Wizards 83
MIAMI -- Shaquille O'Neal scored a season-high 40 points, and the Miami Heat overcame the loss of leading scorer Dwyane Wade to beat the Washington Wizards for their fifth straight win. Wade sprained his left ankle grabbing a loose ball with 3:18 left in the first half, and did not return. A Heat spokesman said Wade's second-half absence was "more precautionary than anything else." O'Neal, who had 34 points against Toronto last month, added 12 rebounds and five blocks as Miami beat Washington for the seventh consecutive time. Gilbert Arenas scored 18 points for Washington, which lost for the third time in 12 games.
Suns 121, Magic 100
PHOENIX -- Leandro Barbosa scored 19 points in relief of foul-plagued Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns set a team record for best start to a season with a victory against the Orlando Magic. The Suns improved to an NBA-best 18-3, their finest start in the franchise's 37-year history. Phoenix has won 14 of 15 for the first time in eight seasons. Quentin Richardson scored 26 points, including 6-of-12 3-pointers, to lead the NBA's highest-scoring team to its fourth 120-plus-point game of the season. Amare Stoudemire added 21 points, Shawn Marion had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Joe Johnson scored 18.
