NBA ROUNDUP Friday's other games

Hawks 100, Celtics 96
BOSTON -- The Atlanta Hawks won consecutive games for the first time this season, getting 23 points from Shareef Adbur-Rahim and 22 from Stephen Jackson. It was the Celtics' sixth straight loss and their fifth in a row under interim head coach John Carroll, who took over on Jan. 27 when Jim O'Brien resigned. The Hawks held a 15-point lead at halftime but watched it disappear in the fourth quarter. After Jackson hit a 3-pointer with 54 seconds left to give the Hawks a 97-92 lead, Paul Pierce hit four throws to cut the Hawks' lead to 97-96 with 17 seconds remaining. Jackson missed the front end of a pair of free throws with 12 seconds remaining, but Ricky Davis had two shots blocked -- the first by Theo Ratliff, the second by Abdur-Rahim -- as the Hawks escaped.
Pacers 83, Raptors 77
TORONTO -- Ron Artest scored 27 points, Jermaine O'Neal added 20 and Al Harrington 19 as the Eastern Conference-leading Indiana Pacers beat Toronto. Jamaal Tinsley scored five of Indiana's last seven points after Toronto closed within two. O'Neal, who vowed to have a better game after going 6-for-20 from the field in a loss to New York on Tuesday, added 14 rebounds as the Pacers won for the fourth time in five games.
Wizards 112, Clippers 110
WASHINGTON -- Gilbert Arenas scored 25 points, Jerry Stackhouse added 23 and the Washington Wizards scored 25 of the game's first 28 points to end the Los Angeles Clippers' three-game road winning streak. Kwame Brown added 22 points and Larry Hughes had 21 points and 12 rebounds. Los Angeles, bidding for its first four-game road winning streak since March, 1982, got 24 points from Quentin Richardson and 22 from Corey Maggette.
Nets 120, Magic 99
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jason Kidd had 18 points, 13 assists, six rebounds and a 3-pointer that cracked the 100-point mark at the end of third quarter. The victory was the Nets' seventh straight, and their sixth in a row since Frank replaced Byron Scott less than two weeks ago for the two-time defending Eastern Conference champions. The six wins to start a coaching career are three shy of the NBA record shared by Kurt Rambis in 1998-99 with the Lakers and Buddy Jeannette with the Baltimore Bullets in 1947.
Grizzlies 105, Bucks 85
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Pau Gasol, booed in his last home game, scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Grizzlies tied a franchise record for victories. The win was the Grizzlies' third straight and matched their 28 victories from last season -- the most in franchise history. The Bucks lost their third straight overall and sixth consecutive road game. James Posey had 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Lorenzen Wright added 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Hornets 92, Pistons 81
NEW ORLEANS -- Jamal Mashburn scored 12 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to help the New Orleans Hornets snap a four-game losing streak. After going 4-of-17 from the floor through three quarters, Mashburn hit a 3-pointer to snap a 10-0 Detroit run. He made two more shots and five free throws as New Orleans handed the Pistons their second straight loss.
Rockets 82, Bulls 80
HOUSTON -- Jim Jackson sank a 22-foot jumper at the buzzer to lift Houston. Yao Ming led Houston with 22 points, followed by Jackson with 14, Cuttino Mobley with 13 and Steve Francis with 11. Eddy Curry was the top scorer for Chicago with 21 points. Jamal Crawford added 15, Kirk Hinrich 13, Antonio Davis 12 and Eddie Robinson 11.
SuperSonics 107, Suns 105
PHOENIX -- Ray Allen had 18 points, eight rebounds and eight assists before injuring his shoulder late in the game, and the Seattle SuperSonics held on. Rashard Lewis, who scored 23 points, took a pass from Luke Ridnour for a layup with two seconds remaining for the game-winner.
Trail Blazers 87, Jazz 73
SALT LAKE CITY -- Zach Randolph had 19 points and 14 rebounds to lead the surging Trail Blazers, Portland's sixth victory in its last seven road games. Rasheed Wallace scored 16 points and Damon Stoudamire added 14 as all five Portland starters scored in double figures.
