NBA ROUNDUP Monday’s other games

Wizards 102, Mavericks 84

WASHINGTON — Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison gave the Washington Wizards their first season sweep of the Dallas Mavericks since 1996-97. Butler had 25 points and nine rebounds, Jamison added 23 points and eight rebounds, and Washington overcame Josh Howard’s 32 points to give the Mavericks their biggest loss of the season. The Wizards have won five of their past six games — including beating the Boston Celtics twice — to take hold of fourth place in the Eastern Conference despite playing without star Gilbert Arenas since November. Howard’s chief help came from Dirk Nowitzki, who finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. Devin Harris added 14 points.

Timberwolves 109, Warriors 108

OAKLAND, Calif. — Ryan Gomes had a career-high 35 and 11 rebounds to help Minnesota snap a 16-game road losing streak. Al Jefferson added 21 points and 12 rebounds and Marco Jaric had 16 points, 10 assists and eight boards for the Timberwolves, who won just their second road game of the season and first since a 103-94 win at New Orleans on Nov. 26. Gomes hit two free throws with 54.5 seconds remaining to give the Timberwolves a 109-108 lead. After Baron Davis missed a 3-pointer with 32 seconds left at the other end, Golden State got one last chance following Jaric’s missed 3-pointer with 8.8 seconds to go. Davis then missed a driving layup and Al Harrington couldn’t tip in the miss at the buzzer, giving Minnesota just its second win in the past 15 games.

Spurs 95, Bobcats 86

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tim Duncan had 19 points and 10 rebounds and San Antonio ended its offensive doldrums. Behind a balanced effort with five players in double figures, the Spurs snapped a two-game losing streak and ended a three-game stretch where they failed to reach 90 points. Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker added 16 points each and Michael Finley scored 13 for the Spurs, who shot 49 percent. Emeka Okafor had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Gerald Wallace added 15 points before leaving late in the game with a sore left calf and knee.

Celtics 109, Knicks 93

NEW YORK — Kevin Garnett had 20 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists, and Boston routed New York for the second time this season. Kendrick Perkins scored 22 of his career-high 24 points in the first half for the Celtics, who shook off the loss of leading scorer Paul Pierce, ejected along with New York’s Quentin Richardson late in the third quarter after both picked up two technical fouls for jawing with each other during the period. Boston (33-6) has won three straight following the only rough patch in its season, a stretch of three losses in four games. Ray Allen added 17 points and Rajon Rondo had 14 in his return to the lineup after missing two games with a sore lower back. Zach Randolph had 24 points and 15 rebounds for the Knicks.

Pacers 110, 76ers 103

Jamaal Tinsley had 13 assists and Jeff Foster grabbed 10 rebounds for the Pacers, who moved into a tie with New Jersey for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Andre Iguodala led the Sixers with 23 points and Andre Miller had 21. Samuel Dalembert had 13 rebounds. But it wasn’t enough for the Sixers, who flopped at the free throw line. While Indiana stretched its lead on 14 3-pointers, the Sixers couldn’t seriously make a run because it made just 21 of 34 free throws.

Trail Blazers 111, Hawks 109, OT

ATLANTA — Travis Outlaw sank a long jumper with 1 second left in overtime to lift Portland. Guarded by Josh Smith, Outlaw held the ball outside the 3-point line until under 5 seconds remained.

Bonzi Wells scored 16 points for the Rockets, who’ve won seven of their last nine games. Wally Szczerbiak and Jeff Green had 15 points apiece for Seattle, now riding the longest single-season losing streak in team history. The Sonics lost 12 consecutive games across the end of the 1968-69 season and the start of 1969-70. Former Texas star Kevin Durant shot poorly for the third straight game, scoring 12 points on 4-for-13 shooting. Durant was 10-of-39 in his previous two games.
