NBA ROUNDUP Tuesday's other games

Pistons 113, Raptors 106
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Richard Hamilton scored 24, Chauncey Billups had 21 points and 13 assists, and Detroit beat Toronto for its eighth straight victory. The Pistons improved to an NBA-best 23-3, their best 26-game record in franchise history. They scored a season-high 63 points in the first half, avoiding a letdown after playing San Antonio and before hosting Miami on Thursday. Chris Bosh scored a career-high 37 points for the Raptors, who fell to a league-worst 6-22.
Heat 109, Bucks 98
MIAMI-- Dwyane Wade scored 35 points, Shaquille O'Neal added 23, and Miami beat Milwaukee. Jason Williams had 18 points, including nine during a 19-9 run in the opening six minutes of the second half. The Heat won for the sixth time in eight games since Pat Riley returned as coach on Dec. 12. Reserve Maurice Williams came off the bench to score 24 points as the Bucks finished 0-2 in a back-to-back set in Florida, following Monday's loss at Orlando. Michael Redd scored 21 points but shot 8-of-30 in the two games. Milwaukee point guard T.J. Ford left 4:41 into the game after he was fouled hard by Miami's James Posey as he drove to the basket. He was diagnosed with a sprained left foot sprain.
Bobcats 93, Hawks 90
ATLANTA -- Primoz Brezec made the go-ahead basket in the final seconds and Brevin Knight scored 22 points as Charlotte beat Atlanta. Reserves Bernard Robinson and Keith Bogans each scored 13 points for Charlotte, which snapped Atlanta's four-game winning streak at home. The Bobcats have won three consecutive away games, and three of four overall. Al Harrington led the Hawks with 19 points and seven assists. He was 8-for-12 from the field before missing his last six shots.
Spurs 99, Pacers 86
SAN ANTONIO -- Tony Parker scored 27 points, Manu Ginobili sparked the decisive run in his return from an injury, and the San Antonio Spurs pulled away. The Pacers led 60-57 midway through the third quarter after a layup by Jamaal Tinsley, before the Spurs took control with a 16-3 spurt. Ginobili, who missed eight games with a sprained right foot, made a free throw and a layup to start the run. The Spurs held Indiana without a basket for more than 4 1/2 minutes beginning late in the third.
Jazz 82, Rockets 74
HOUSTON -- Mehmet Okur had 20 points, 17 rebounds and a decisive 3-pointer, and the Utah Jazz took advantage of Tracy McGrady's sudden absence. McGrady scored 21 points in the first half, then left the arena when he learned his fiancee was going into labor at a local hospital. Rockets spokesman Nelson Luis said after the game that Clerenda Harris gave birth to a boy, and the couple named him Laymen Lamar. Luis also said he expected McGrady to play tonight, when the Rockets are in Oklahoma City to play the Hornets.
