NBA ROUNDUP \ Friday’s other games


Timberwolves 105, Thunder 103

OKLAHOMA CITY — Craig Smith scored a season-high 23 points, Mike Miller drilled the game-winning jumper from the left baseline with 0.1 seconds left as the Timberwolves handed the Thunder a franchise record-tying 14th straight loss. Miller received an inbounds pass from Ryan Gomes, took a single dribble and then connected on a 19-footer before celebrating with a handful of leaping chest bumps with his teammates at halfcourt. Kevin Durant had tied it by driving past Al Jefferson for a right-handed jam with 3.3 seconds left, but that left just enough time for Miller’s heroics. Jefferson finished with 19 points and nine rebounds to narrowly miss his eighth double-double. Miller scored 18 points and reserve Sebastian Telfair contributed 12.

Heat 107, Suns 92

PHOENIX — Dwyane Wade scored a season-high 41 points and the Miami Heat beat the Phoenix Suns 107-92 Friday night in the first matchup between the teams since the Shaquille O’Neal for Shawn Marion blockbuster trade last February. Neither O’Neal nor Marion was much of a factor in the game dominated by the unstoppable Wade. O’Neal scored 12 points and Marion had 10. Udonis Haslem had 16 points, Daequan Cook scored 15 and rookie Mario Chalmers added 13 for the Heat. Leandro Barbosa, playing on his 26th birthday, led the Suns with 20 points. Raja Bell had 16 and Amare Stoudemire 14.

Celtics 102, 76ers 78

BOSTON — Ray Allen scored 23 points and Kevin Garnett added 16 to lead the Boston Celtics to their seventh straight victory. Allen was 10-for-15 from the field, including 3-for-5 on 3-pointers. In the last three games, he is 13-for-19 from behind the arc. He scored 11 straight Boston points in the third quarter — three baskets in a row from 3-point land as the Celtics (15-2) extended an 18-point halftime lead to 73-47. Rajon Rondo had 12 assists for the Celtics, including one on the last basket of the third quarter, a perfectly executed alley-oop to Garnett for a dunk.

Raptors 93, Hawks 88

TORONTO — Chris Bosh had 30 points and 10 rebounds, Jason Kapono scored 16 points. Joey Graham added 11 points and Jamario Moon had 10 for Toronto, with guard Jose Calderon picking up 11 assists. Mike Bibby scored 24 points for Atlanta, Joe Johnson had 18 and reserve Maurice Evans added 17. Al Horford and Marvin Williams each had 10 points for the Hawks, who got 17 rebounds from Zaza Pachulia.
