NBA ROUNDUP MONDAY'S GAMES

76ers 90, Timberwolves 89, OT
PHILADELPHIA -- Chris Webber had 27 points and 21 rebounds, and Allen Iverson added 19 points and 10 assists to help the 76ers win their third straight game. Wally Szczerbiak scored 23 points, Kevin Garnett had 19 and Marko Jaric added 14 points and 10 assists for the Wolves, who ended a five-game winning streak that had sent them to the top of the Northwest Division. After the Sixers wasted a 10-point lead in the final 4 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter, Webber scored the go-ahead basket in overtime and made a key block on Garnett that denied the tying field goal. Webber nearly came up with a steal in the final seconds, but disrupted the ball enough that Minnesota got one last look on an inbounds pass with 0.4 seconds left. Szczerbiak tossed a pass to Garnett, his shot was off the mark, and the Sixers escaped with a win they tried to give away.
Bucks 112, Knicks 92
NEW YORK -- Reserve Dan Gadzuric scored a season-high 18 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks won their third straight. Michael Redd finished with 31 points to lead Milwaukee, which has won six of seven and improved to 10-1 against Eastern Conference teams. Maurice Williams added 15. Rookie Channing Frye scored a career-high 30 points for the Knicks, who dropped their third straight. Nate Robinson and Eddy Curry each had 15. Frye dominated his matchup with fellow lottery pick Andrew Bogut -- but that may have backfired for the Knicks because it meant more playing time for Gadzuric. He scored 12 points during the decisive second quarter, then came back off the bench late in the third period to make three field goals after New York had pulled within single digits.
Lakers 109, Mavericks 106
DALLAS -- Kobe Bryant swished a shot with 34.9 seconds left that was spectacular even by his standards -- about a 30-footer falling away with a hand in his face and the shot clock expiring -- to lift the Lakers. Bryant scored 43 points, including a 3-pointer that tied it at 97 and his amazing 3 that put the Lakers ahead 104-102. DeSagana Diop had a chance to tie it for Dallas after that, but missed his second foul shot. Los Angeles stretched the lead to four on a free throw by Bryant and a pair by Luke Walton, who had rebounded Bryant's missed second free throw. A 3-pointer by Devin Harris got the Mavericks back within one with 8.5 seconds left, but Smush Parker made two free throws to give the Lakers the winning margin. Dallas' Jason Terry missed a 3 at the buzzer and Lamar Odom knocked away the rebound. His follow-through conked Dirk Nowitzki in the face, leaving the Mavericks forward on the ground as time expired. Nowitzki had 27 points and 15 rebounds, but the Mavericks ended a five-game winning streak. Marquis Daniels scored 23, Terry had 20 and Harris 19.
