Butler scored 21 points and was perfect on 15 free throws to extend his streak to 32 straight, dating to Nov. 15 against the New York Knicks. None was bigger than the one that ended the Wizards' four-game losing streak and bailed out backcourt mate Gilbert Arenas, who also had 21 points but committed nine turnovers. Joe Johnson led the Hawks with 33 points, eight assists and six rebounds. Reserve guard Tyronn Lue added 18 points for Atlanta. Antawn Jamison had 18 points for Washington.

Primoz Brezec had 13 for the Bobcats, who ended a two-game losing streak and won for only the second time in seven road games. Raymond Felton and Gerald Wallace each added 12. Richard Jefferson led New Jersey with 27 points. Vince Carter had 25 and Nenad Krstic 20.

Rafer Alston also hit a late 3-pointer and scored 13 points as the Rockets won their fourth straight game despite an injury to Tracy McGrady.
