NBA ROUNDUP \ Sunday's other games

Kings 100, Pistons 85
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Mike Bibby had 19 points and 11 assists, Kenny Thomas added 19 points, and Sacramento beat Detroit in the Kings' first home game since Chris Webber's departure. Peja Stojakovic and Darius Songaila scored 14 points apiece in an impressive homecoming victory for the Kings' revamped roster. Sacramento embarked on a six-game road trip the day Webber was traded to Philadelphia nearly two weeks ago along with two reserves for Thomas, Corliss Williamson and Brian Skinner. Rasheed Wallace had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Pistons, who finished a six-game road trip with consecutive losses to Phoenix, Seattle and Sacramento. The defending NBA champions missed 13 of 24 free throws and struggled for open shots against Sacramento's tenacious defense.
Rockets 90, Mavericks 69
HOUSTON -- Tracy McGrady had 32 points and 10 rebounds to lead Houston past injury-depleted Dallas. McGrady scored 27 of his points after getting six stitches on his chin following a collision in the first quarter. The Mavericks, who were playing without the injured Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley for just the second time this season, set a season-low for total points. Jason Terry led Dallas with 20 points. Keith Van Horn, who started for Nowitzki, added 12. Yao Ming had 14 points and 11 rebounds for Houston.
Timberwolves 99, Celtics 97
BOSTON -- Latrell Sprewell made a runner with 0.9 seconds remaining to give Kevin McHale a victory in his first game on the sidelines in Boston. McHale, who took over as Minnesota coach for the fired Flip Saunders, played his entire 13-year, Hall of Fame career with Boston. He helped lead the Celtics to three NBA championships before taking over as Minnesota's vice president of basketball operations in 1995. Kevin Garnett had 21 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists for the Wolves, who handed the Celtics their first loss since the return of Antoine Walker. Wally Szczerbiak added 20 points. Walker had 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting for Boston and had a chance to give the Celtics the lead with 1:43 left, but missed the first of two foul shots. He made the second to tie the score at 97.
Knicks 115, Warriors 99
NEW YORK -- Stephon Marbury had 26 points and a season-high 16 assists, and New York used a 21-1 run in the fourth quarter to defeat Golden State. Tim Thomas scored 25 points, Michael Sweetney opened 9-for-9 and finished with 19 points, and Maurice Taylor shot 7-for-8 and scored 15. The Knicks shot a season-high 61.8 percent. Jason Richardson scored 24 points and Troy Murphy added 23 for the Warriors, who had their two-game winning streak snapped. The game marked their fourth stop on an eight-game, 12-day road trip, and fatigue seemed to sap the Warriors' energy down the stretch.
Spurs 101, Jazz 94
SAN ANTONIO -- Tim Duncan missed most of the second half after spraining his right ankle, but Manu Ginobili led San Antonio in his absence with 31 points. Duncan was helped from the floor 3:48 into the second half. He was defending a drive by Andrei Kirilenko when he jumped and appeared to come down on the leg of teammate Rasho Nesterovic. Duncan did not return to the game. He scored 12 points and grabbed four rebounds in 23 minutes. Ginobili was 7-of-11 from the floor and made all but one of his 15 foul shots. Keith McCleod led the Jazz with 18 points.
Raptors 95, Hornets 84
NEW ORLEANS -- Chris Bosh scored a career-high 33 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, helping Toronto end a two-game skid. Reserve Matt Bonner added a career-high 18 points and Jalen Rose scored 14 for the Raptors. Lee Nailon led the Hornets with 18 points, while reserves Bostjan Nachbar added 15.
Suns 110, SuperSonics 99
SEATTLE -- Joe Johnson matched a season-high with 30 points on 11-of-18 shooting and Amare Stoudemire added 22 points, leading Phoenix over Seattle. Shawn Marion had 18 points and 10 rebounds while Steve Nash added 12 points and 10 assists, and the NBA's top scoring offense helped the Suns improve their road record to a league-best 24-7. Ray Allen led the Sonics with 27 points, while Rashard Lewis had 26 points and 11 rebounds. But Seattle, which had won six of seven since the All-Star break, couldn't match a series of runs by the fast-paced Suns. Antonio Daniels scored 14 points and Jerome James had 12. The perimeter-oriented Sonics also came up short in a very important statistical category -- shooting 3-of-27 from 3-point range.
Lakers 103, Pacers 94
LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant scored 37 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, leading Los Angeles over Indiana. Bryant made all of his 13 foul shots to help spoil Reggie Miller's final NBA game in Los Angeles. Miller finished with 11 points in 38 minutes on 5-of-16 shooting. Stephen Jackson had 29 points for the Pacers, who have lost their last nine road games against the Lakers -- three of them coming in the 2000 finals. Miller, who announced on Feb. 12 that he would retire at the end of the season, was born in nearby Riverside and played his college ball at UCLA, while his sister Cheryl was starring for Southern Cal and brother Darrell was catching for the California Angels. The victory put the Lakers alone in eighth place for the race for the final Western Conference playoff berth, a half-game over Denver and 1 1/2 over Minnesota. Indiana slipped into an eighth-place tie with Philadelphia in the East, 1 1/2 games behind Chicago. In their second game since placing leading scorer Jermaine O'Neal on the injured list with a sprained right shoulder and reacquiring Dale Davis on waivers from New Orleans, the Pacers shot 41.7 percent and never led after Bryant's two free throws gave the Lakers a 17-16 lead with 2:42 left in the first quarter. Bryant scored 15 points in the third quarter, one more than Jackson. The Lakers took a 77-65 lead into the fourth and increased it to 89-72 on Jumaine Jones' 3-pointer with 6:55 to play. The Pacers got as close as 95-90 with a 17-4 run capped by Miller's running 9-footer with 2:16 remaining, but Chucky Atkins clinched it with eight free throws in the final 1:27. Atkins finished with 16 points. Bryant helped Los Angeles build a 50-37 halftime lead with 18 points. The Lakers ended the half with a 12-3 run that included a pair of layups and a 19-footer by the seven-time All-Star. Miller missed his first shot, a 20-footer from the top of the key, and was 3-for-11 from the field before intermission.
