NBA ROUNDUP \ Tuesday's games

Bobcats 104, Hornets 100
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Raymond Felton had 21 points and 11 assists and outplayed Chris Paul in a battle of second-year point guards to lead Charlotte. Felton, the fifth pick in the 2005 draft, scored nine points in the fourth quarter when the Bobcats pulled away in a bruising game that included a shoving match and five technical fouls. Paul, the fourth pick in the draft and a former college opponent of Felton, had 20 points and seven assists.
Wizards 112, Timberwolves 100
WASHINGTON -- Trying his best to shoot himself out of a slump, Gilbert Arenas launched a few bricks and rattled a few home on his way to 38 points. Arenas, who has struggled with his jump shot all month, relied on layups and free throws for most of his points. He went 12-for-24 from the field and 13-for-15 from the line but made only 1 of 8 from 3-point range -- including an air ball -- and is 10-for-57 behind the arc over his last seven games. Kevin Garnett led the Timberwolves with 26 points on 8-for-17 shooting and had 13 rebounds.
Pistons 84, Bucks 83
MILWAUKEE -- Chauncey Billups scored 19 as the Pistons held on to beat Milwaukee. Milwaukee's Charlie Bell scored on a driving layup to cut the Detroit lead to 1 with 30.9 seconds remaining. Rasheed Wallace then missed an off-balance jumper with the shot clock running out, giving the Bucks a shot at the victory with 7.1 seconds remaining. Mo Williams inbounded the ball to Andrew Bogut. He gave it back to Williams, who drove the lane and missed a layup.
Knicks 100, Magic 94
NEW YORK -- Jamal Crawford and Eddy Curry each scored 20 points to lead New York to its 24th win, surpassing last season's total. The victory moved them to within three games of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Magic and the Miami Heat are tied for seventh place.
Spurs 95, Nuggets 80
SAN ANTONIO -- Tony Parker scored 17 points to lead San Antonio. Not even the return of Allen Iverson could boost Denver. Iverson scored nine points on Tuesday. Manu Ginobili added 14 points and Tim Duncan had 12 during the Spurs' first home game since they went on a road trip, where they split their eight games. Carmelo Anthony led Denver with 15 points.
