Warriors 104, 76ers 85
PHILADELPHIA -- Jason Richardson scored 22 points and Mike Dunleavy added 21 to lead the Golden State Warriors to just their eighth road win of the season. Troy Murphy scored 17 points and Mickael Pietrus had 14 for the Warriors, who are in last place in the Pacific Division. Allen Iverson led Philadelphia with 33 points on 10-for-25 shooting, but had 12 turnovers. The Sixers played their sixth game in eight days, with all the games played as back-to-backs. They went 3-3 during the stretch.
For the third straight game, Chris Webber was basically a non-factor for the Sixers. The five-time All-Star acquired in a stunning trade deadline deal again sat out long stretches of minutes, including the last 4:38 of the third quarter.
He finished with eight points on 3-for-12 shooting in 30 minutes.
Knicks 93, Wizards 83
NEW YORK -- Improving to 5-1 since the trade deadline, New York received 19 points from Jamal Crawford and solid all-around contributions from several players. Crawford also had six assists and six rebounds, Kurt Thomas added 15 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, and Stephon Marbury had 14 points, 10 assists and four rebounds. New York won at home for the seventh straight time. The Wizards, led by 27 points from Larry Hughes and 23 from Gilbert Arenas, were without All-star Antawn Jamison for the first time all season. Jamison, whose streak of 386 consecutive games was the longest in the league, has tendinitis in his right knee.
Timberwolves 102, Bobcats 97
MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Garnett refused to let the expansion Charlotte Bobcats pull off a season sweep of his Minnesota Timberwolves. Garnett scored 22 of his 30 points in the second half, carrying Minnesota over Charlotte. Behind a dominating third-quarter effort by Garnett, who also had 15 rebounds and four blocks, the Timberwolves shook off a sluggish first half to win their third in a row and fourth in five games.
Bucks 105, Hawks 101
MILWAUKEE -- Mo Williams had 22 points and 10 assists, and Desmond Mason also scored 22 points to lead Milwaukee past Atlanta. Tyronn Lue had a season-high 27 points for Atlanta, losers of 22 straight road games and 12 in a row overall. Williams was 9-of-13 from the field, matching a career high for scoring, and Michael Redd added 21 points despite shooting just 9-of-24 from the field for the Bucks. Lue, averaging 9 points per game, was 11-of-19 from the floor, and Al Harrington had 19 points and nine assists for the Hawks.
Spurs 90, Nets 74
SAN ANTONIO -- Tim Duncan made a quick return to the Spurs lineup after leaving his last game with an injury, and had 19 points and eight rebounds to lead San Antonio. Reserve guard Devin Brown had a game-high 22 points for the Spurs, who expected Duncan to miss this game after leaving Sunday's win against Utah with a sprained right ankle less than four minutes into the second half. The Nets struggled early, hitting just 4 of their first 25 shots. Vince Carter, who had a season-high 43 points against the Spurs on Feb. 11, missed his first seven shots and finished with 13 points on 4-for-18 shooting.
Pacers 89, Jazz 83
SALT LAKE CITY -- Stephen Jackson scored 30 points and Indiana rallied after blowing a 25-point lead to beat Utah.
Reggie Miller finished with 24 points in his final game at Utah, which nearly turned into an embarrassing loss. Indiana scored the first 13 points of the game and held Utah without a field goal for the first 6:20. But after going up by 25 in the first half, the Pacers let the Jazz back into it and had to come back after falling behind by three in the final minutes.
