NBA Roundup for Saturday’s games

Magic 122, Pacers 111

ORLANDO, Fla. — Hedo Turkoglu scored 27 points, including nine in the final five minutes to help the Orlando Magic pull away and clinch a playoff berth. Rashard Lewis added 22 points for Orlando, which has won seven of eight. Dwight Howard, who was in foul trouble much of the fourth quarter, added 18 points and 12 rebounds before fouling out with 43 seconds to play. Maurice Evans scored a season-high 19 points. Danny Granger led the Pacers with 27 points and Mike Dunleavy had 16. Six Pacers scored in double figures, but Indiana lost for the fifth time in its last six games.

76ers 103, Spurs 96

PHILADELPHIA — Andre Miller scored a season-high 32 points and Andre Iguodala had 25 to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to their third straight sparkling victory. The Sixers already knocked off Detroit and Chicago on the road this week and returned home to another suddenly supportive crowd. Philly (33-34) gave the faithful a reason to cheer from the opening tip, pressuring the Spurs into turnovers and turning back a late run by the champs. Coach Maurice Cheeks said before the game he watches the scoreboard and especially keeps an eye on Washington, which entered Saturday holding a one-game lead on the Sixers for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Sixers are on track for their first playoff berth since 2005 and moved within a game of .500 for the first time since they were 2-3 on Nov. 9. That spiraled into a 5-13 start, but Philadelphia is 17-6 since Jan. 26 and has won nine of its last 10 at home. Tony Parker scored 27 points, Manu Ginobili had 22 and Tim Duncan 16 for the Spurs, who were coming off a loss a night earlier at Detroit.

Wizards 119, Clippers 109

WASHINGTON — Antawn Jamison scored 36 points, including three key free throws to send the game into overtime, leading the Wizards. The Clippers, who have lost 11 of their last 13 games, looked to have the game sealed when Corey Maggette hit two free throws to give them a 98-94 lead with 7 seconds to play in regulation. But Jamison, who also had 11 rebounds, hit a 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left to cut the lead to 98-97. Tim Thomas hit two free throws with 3.4 seconds to make it 100-97. Jamison, poised to take a potential game-tying 3-pointer, was fouled by Cuttino Mobley, and made all three to tie the score. Thomas missed an 18-foot jumper at the buzzer, and the game went into overtime.

Nets 117, Jazz 115

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Richard Jefferson made a running jumper with 1.5 seconds remaining to lift the Nets. Jefferson led the Nets with 27 points and Vince Carter scored 25. Josh Boone had 21 points and 13 rebounds as New Jersey posted its fifth straight home win over Utah. Devin Harris add 19 points and 12 assists. Carlos Boozer equaled his career high with 41 points for Utah. He had a remarkably precise game, shooting 15-of-19 from the field and 11-of-13 from the free throw line. Reserve Kyle Korver added 18 points for the Jazz.
