NBA ROUNDUP Tuesday's other games

Nuggets 94, Nets 90
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Carmelo Anthony scored 12 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter and the Nuggets won their fifth straight game. Allen Iverson added 20 points and a clinching free throw in the final seconds in helping the Nuggets win for the first time in New Jersey since 2000. It also marked the first time this season that Denver has won a game (1-21) when scoring fewer than 99 points. Vince Carter had 29 points and nine assists for the Nets, but he was called for walking with 45 seconds to play, and missed a potential tying 3-pointer with 12 seconds to go. Richard Jefferson had 18 points for the Nets, who had won nine of 10 against Denver.
Pistons 96, 76ers 75
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Tayshaun Prince scored 30 points as Philadelphia, playing two days after the worst home loss in franchise history, was routed on the road. The Pistons ended a three-game losing streak at home. The game was the first between the teams since Chris Webber signed with the Pistons after being waived by Philadelphia in January. Webber finished with nine points and seven rebounds in 27 minutes as Detroit improved to 22-7 since he moved into the starting lineup. Richard Hamilton added 18 points for the Pistons, including a perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line. Willie Green led Philly with 20 points, while Andre Miller added 16.
Mavericks 92, Knicks 77
NEW YORK -- Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard each scored 24 points, and the Mavericks hit the 55-win mark for the third straight season. Jason Terry added 15 points for the Mavericks, who pulled away from the short-handed Knicks early in the second half and improved the NBA's best record to 55-11. They have won three in a row after losing consecutive games for first time since starting 0-4. Erick Dampier had 10 points and 13 rebounds, and Howard grabbed 10 boards as the deeper Mavs wore down the Knicks and shot 53 percent from the field. Eddy Curry had 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, who are playing without the injured Jamal Crawford, David Lee and Quentin Richardson, and have lost three of four. In addition, Stephon Marbury left with about 5 1/2 minutes remaining with what looked like an injury to his left arm; Channing Frye missed most of the second half after getting poked in the right eye; and Curry played through a back problem that forced him to miss the morning shootaround.
Hornets 114, Grizzlies 103
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- David West scored 26 points, and Chris Paul added 23 points and nine assists to lead New Orleans. West connected on 10-of-15 shots from the floor, leading six Hornets in double figures. Tyson Chandler had 16 points on 8-of-9 shooting, 11 rebounds and three blocks, while Rasual Butler finished with 15 points, and Desmond Mason had 14.
