NBA ROUNDUP Sunday's other games



Pistons 102, Lakers 93
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Detroit's balanced team was once again too much for Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Rasheed Wallace paced five Pistons in double figures with 24 points and Detroit pulled away in the third quarter. With its season-high 11th straight win, Detroit improved to an NBA-best 37-5 and tied the fourth-best record through 42 games in NBA history. In the 2004 NBA Finals, the Pistons dominated Los Angeles -- with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal -- in five games for the title with the same starters they have this season. The Lakers are still reeling from their decision to deal O'Neal to the Miami Heat two years ago, leaving Bryant with a lackluster supporting cast. Jackson's return after a year away from basketball has not managed to make much of a difference. Bryant had 39 points on 12-of-28 shooting.
Heat 101, Rockets 95
HOUSTON -- Dwyane Wade had 32 points and nine assists and Shaquille O'Neal added 24 points and 14 rebounds for Miami. O'Neal also hit a season-high 12 free throws, although he missed five of his last six attempts. Tracy McGrady had 37 points, 12 rebounds and six assists for the Rockets.
Bucks 83, Celtics 79
MILWAUKEE -- Michael Redd overcame a slow start to score 15 fourth-quarter points, leading the Bucks to their second straight win. Redd, who sat out much of the first quarter with two fouls, made one of his first nine shots but finished with 21 points for Milwaukee.
Sixers 89, Magic 81
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Chris Webber scored 18 points and John Salmons added 17 to help Philadelphia. The 76ers played without Allen Iverson, who missed his second straight game with a sprained left ankle. Dwight Howard had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Magic, who lost at home for the first time in eight games.
Raptors 124, Kings 123, OT
TORONTO -- Jalen Rose's jumper with 0.4 seconds left in overtime gave the Raptors the victory. Mike Bibby had 42 points and Ron Artest had 24 in his second game with Sacramento. Mike James drove toward the basket in the waning seconds of overtime and passed to Rose, who took a couple of dribbles before making his 19-foot jumper. Bibby missed a jumper at the buzzer for the Kings.
