Knicks 87, Nets 79
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jamal Crawford scored 30 points in a game otherwise defined by offensive ineptitude such as the New York Knicks holding the New Jersey Nets without a basket for 15 minutes. Crawford was one of the few players on either team who managed to get his offense going, but even he missed his last seven shots as the Knicks snapped the Nets' four-game home winning streak. The Knicks snapped a seven-game losing streak at the Meadowlands. The Nets, struggling to find any kind of rhythm with Jason Kidd's playing time severely limited, went through an abysmal stretch of 15:02 spanning the third and fourth quarters in which they went 0-for-17 from the field with 13 turnovers.

ATLANTA -- Jamaal Tinsley scored a season-high 29 points and the Indiana Pacers snapped a seven-game losing streak by beating the Atlanta Hawks in overtime.

Tony Delk scored a season-high 22 points, and Al Harrington added 21 for the Hawks, whose reserves outscored the Pacers' subs 49-28.

Bibby had 27 points and Webber finished with 23 for the Kings, who won for the 14th time in 16 games. Sacramento is 8-0 against the Eastern Conference this season. The Kings also beat the Bucks 88-79 on Nov. 21 and swept the season series. Desmond Mason had 23 points and Michael Redd added 20 for the Bucks, who have lost 12 of 15.
Jazz 93, Clippers 91
SALT LAKE CITY -- Mehmet Okur scored 19 points, hitting three free throws in the final 9 seconds and the Utah Jazz held off the Los Angeles Clippers. Okur also had 13 rebounds, getting two huge ones that led to his free throws down the stretch and the Jazz beat the Clippers for the 22nd time in the last 23 meetings in Utah. Matt Harpring scored 16 and Gordan Giricek added 12 points for Utah, which had lost seven of eight. The Jazz got a win when they desperately needed one -- they start a five-game road trip in Phoenix on Wednesday. Corey Maggette scored 28 to lead Los Angeles.
Bobcats 94, Hornets 93, OT
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Emeka Okafor hit two free throws with 5 seconds left in overtime to give Charlotte's new NBA team a win over its old one as the Bobcats pulled out a win against the New Orleans Hornets. It was the first meeting between the Hornets -- who called Charlotte home for 14 seasons -- and the expansion Bobcats, the team that replaced them after they fled to New Orleans at the end of the 2001-02 season following a nasty falling out with the city. There were 23 lead changes.
