NBA ROUNDUP | Saturday's other games

Bucks 94, Hornets 91
MILWAUKEE -- Michael Redd scored 30 points, and Keith Van Horn and Desmond Mason added 17 each to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to victory over the New Orleans Hornets. Joe Smith added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Bucks, who have won three straight following a season-opening loss to Orlando. New Orleans, led by Darrell Armstrong's 21 points, fell to 0-6. Redd made a baseline jumper with 1:14 remaining to give the Bucks an 86-84 lead.
Pacers 103, Knicks 97
INDIANAPOLIS -- Once again, the ailing and short-handed Indiana Pacers built a big lead. This time, they were able to hold off New York's furious comeback. Jermaine O'Neal had 33 points and 12 rebounds, Ron Artest marked his 25th birthday with 22 points and Stephen Jackson added 19 as the Pacers fought off fatigue and beat the Knicks. It was Indiana's fourth game in five nights, and because of injuries the Pacers had only 10 players available and used just eight, with all five starters logging at least 38 minutes.
Warriors 103, Bobcats 87
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Only an expansion team could save the Golden State Warriors from the worst start in franchise history. Jason Richardson scored 27 points and Troy Murphy added 22 to lead the Warriors to their first win of the season, a victory over the expansion Charlotte Bobcats. It was the first win for coach Mike Montgomery, who opened his NBA career with six consecutive losses and put Golden State in danger of besting the franchise futility mark set at the start of the 1997-98 season by opening 0-9.
Spurs 103, Hawks 88
ATLANTA -- Tim Duncan scored 26 points and grabbed 18 rebounds and Bruce Bowen scored a career-high 22 points to help the San Antonio Spurs defeat the Atlanta Hawks. After the Spurs built a 24-point lead, 65-41, midway through the third quarter, the Hawks scored 11 straight points spanning the third and fourth quarters. The rally was capped by Royal Ivey's three-point play with 9:44 left to play, cutting the Spurs' lead to 12 points.
Mavericks 94, Nets 78
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Jerry Stackhouse hit all five of his third-quarter shots and scored a season-high 28 points, leading the Dallas Mavericks to victory over the New Jersey Nets. Dirk Nowitzki added 31 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and four of Dallas' 12 steals in helping the revamped Mavericks win for the sixth time in seven games. Richard Jefferson had 28 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Nets.
Lakers 84, Rockets 79
HOUSTON -- Lamar Odom had 20 points and 13 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers held on to give coach Rudy Tomjanovich a victory over the Houston Rockets. The Lakers blew a 22-point lead they held in the third quarter, but still managed to give Tomjanovich a win over his former team. In an emotional pregame ceremony, Tomjanovich was honored for his 33 years of service to the Houston organization.
Clippers 97, Bulls 96
CHICAGO -- Marko Jaric scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half, and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied from a 24-point deficit to beat the winless Chicago Bulls. It was the Clippers' biggest comeback since moving to California from Buffalo for the 1978-79 season. Their previous best comeback as a California team was 23 points. Corey Maggette led Los Angeles with 23 points.
Jazz 108, Pistons 93
SALT LAKE CITY -- Mehmet Okur scored 19 points against his former team, and Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 13 rebounds, leading the Utah Jazz past the Detroit Pistons. Andrei Kirilenko scored 17 points and Gordan Giricek finished with 15 points for the Jazz, who scored more than 100 points for the fifth time in six games. The Jazz, who won just three of their six 100-point games last season, won for the fifth time in six games.
