NBA ROUNDUP Friday's games

Mavericks 105, Knicks 103
DALLAS -- Dirk Nowitzki took care of the personal milestone with his first shot. After his final surge, the Dallas Mavericks got their record. Nowitzki scored 17 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter as the Mavericks won their franchise-record 61st victory. Stephon Marbury had a season-high 43 points, but his final shot was blocked by Josh Howard and rebounded by Devean George as the game ended. Marbury had twice put the Knicks ahead in the closing stretch, but also had a huge mistake. A three-point play by Marbury put the Knicks up 101-100 with 1:18 left. Nowitzki then made two free throws, but Marbury answered with another basket. The Mavericks went ahead for good after Nowitzki tried to give the ball up with a pass to a wide-open Jerry Stackhouse. After Stackhouse missed the 3-pointer, Nowitzki grabbed the rebound and made both free throws after being fouled. Jason Terry then stole a pass by Marbury and hit the second free throw after being fouled with 17 seconds left. On his first basket of the game, Nowitzki surpassed 15,000 points.
Spurs 102, Jazz 93
SAN ANTONIO -- Manu Ginobili scored 25 points as San Antonio won its sixth straight. Tony Parker added 23 points and 11 assists, Tim Duncan had 20 points and 14 rebounds, and Michael Finley had 12 points as San Antonio snapped Utah's three-game winning streak. Deron Williams led Utah with 23 points, followed by Carlos Boozer with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Mehmet Okur had 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Raptors 123, Wizards 118, OT
WASHINGTON -- Chris Bosh scored eight of his 37 points in overtime, and Toronto remained in the third spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Wizards appeared to have a victory secured until Michael Ruffin's celebratory heave toward the rafters landed in the hands of Raptors guard Morris Peterson, whose 3-pointer from 31 feet tied the score at 109 as the horn sounded ending regulation. Bosh, who made nine of his first 11 shots and had 21 points in the first half, managed only eight points in the second half. He shot 4-for-5 in overtime and blocked Gilbert Arenas' layup attempt with three seconds left. Bosh also had 14 rebounds and five assists. Arenas led the Wizards with 34 points and seven assists.
Pistons 110, Nets 105
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Chauncey Billups had 32 points and 14 assists, Lindsey Hunter and Antonio McDyess keyed a fourth-quarter rally for Detroit. Rasheed Wallace scored 22 points, but it was the two reserves who led Detroit's fourth-quarter comeback. Hunter and McDyess combined for 22 points and went 8-of-11 in the quarter, including three 3-pointers. Tayshaun Prince flirted with a triple-double for Detroit, finishing with 15 points, a career-high nine assists and eight rebounds. Vince Carter led the Nets with 27 points, while reserve Josh Boone added 17.
Heat 92, Timberwolves 77
MINNEAPOLIS -- Udonis Haslem had 19 points and 14 rebounds, and all five starters scored at least 15 points for Miami, which led from start to finish. Shaquille O'Neal was relatively quiet with 15 points and nine rebounds, perhaps a bit worn out from moving more than usual on defense while Minnesota's Mark Blount -- who plays outside more than inside -- scored 18 points. But Eddie Jones scored 18 points, James Posey added 16 and Jason Williams had 15 for the Heat. Kevin Garnett had 22 points and 20 rebounds for Minnesota.
Bobcats 97, Bucks 81
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Gerald Wallace scored 24 points and Walter Herrmann had a career-high 23 to lead Charlotte to its first victory over Milwaukee in 10 meetings. Emeka Okafor added 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Bobcats. Ruben Patterson scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half and Michael Redd was held to 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting for Milwaukee.
76ers 88, Celtics 82
PHILADELPHIA -- Kyle Korver scored 26 points, helping Philadelphia avoid a second-half collapse. Korver made four 3-pointers, his final one snapping a 73-all tie with 5:06 left after the Celtics had rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit. Andre Iguodala had 23 points and 12 assists, while Samuel Dalembert added 12 points and 13 rebounds for Philadelphia. Al Jefferson scored 20 points for the Celtics.
Magic 95, Pacers 87
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Grant Hill scored 11 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and Trevor Ariza added 17 to help Orlando. All-Star Jermaine O'Neal was back in the lineup after resting Wednesday with left ankle and knee sprains. He was ineffective, in foul trouble most of the game and bothered tremendously by Dwight Howard inside. O'Neal shot 4-for-18 for 10 points and had eight turnovers. Jamaal Tinsley had 27 points on 11-for-13 shooting and a season-high 10 rebounds for Indiana, while Danny Granger added 13 points.
