NBA ROUNDUP \ Friday’s other games


Pacers 107, Nets 91

INDIANAPOLIS — Rookie Tyler Hansbrough scored a season-high 21 points, and Roy Hibbert added a career-best 20 points on his birthday to help the Pacers snap a six-game losing streak. The 23-year-old Hibbert also had nine rebounds and three blocks. Troy Murphy added 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Pacers in their second game without Danny Granger. The team’s scoring leader will miss at least four weeks with torn tissue on his right heel. Brook Lopez had 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Nets, but shot 8 for 23. Devin Harris scored 18 points for New Jersey. He left in the second half with a sprained left pinky finger, but returned with it taped.

Rockets 96, 76ers 91

PHILADELPHIA — Aaron Brooks scored 17 of his 20 points in the second half and the Rockets held off a late surge before handing the 76ers their 12th straight loss. The 76ers (5-18) are on their longest skid since also dropping 12 in a row from Nov. 25-Dec. 20, 2006. They traded Allen Iverson near the end of that losing streak. Iverson, in his third game back with Philadelphia after his short retirement, hit a pull-up jumper with 1:06 remaining in the fourth. But Brooks’ step-back jumper ended the Sixers’ hopes of winning for the first time since Nov. 18 against Charlotte.

Mavericks 106, Heat 93

MIAMI — Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points, Erick Dampier finished with 20 points and 17 rebounds, and the Mavericks added to Miami’s home woes. Jason Terry scored 16 points, J.J. Barea added 12 points and 10 assists, and former Heat forward Shawn Marion scored 12 for Southwest Division-leading Dallas. The Mavs never trailed and are 9-4 on the road, more wins away from home than anyone so far in the Western Conference. Dwyane Wade scored 28 points and matched a career high with 11 rebounds for the Heat, 2-5 at home since Nov. 10. Udonis Haslem made his first eight shots and finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds for otherwise cool-shooting Miami, which started 0 for 10 from the floor.

Knicks 113, Hornets 96

NEW ORLEANS — Al Harrington scored 28 points and the Knicks beat the Hornets, scoring the game’s last 18 points. The Knicks won their fourth straight for the first time since winning six in a row from Feb. 27-April 6 in 2006. The Hornets lost for the first time in seven home games. New York trailed 96-95 with less than five minutes left, but Harrington and Duhon hit a barrage of baskets. Duhon sank back-to-back 3-pointers, and Harrington followed with two more as the Knicks put the game away. David West scored 20 for New Orleans, and Chris Paul added 13 points and 13 assists.

Thunder 102, Grizzlies 94

MEMPHIS, Tenn. —Kevin Durant had 32 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Thunder. Russell Westbrook scored 10 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, Nenad Krstic finished with 15 points and Jeff Green added 11 to help the Thunder snap the Grizzlies’ three-game winning streak.

Spurs 104, Bobcats 85

SAN ANTONIO — Manu Ginobili scored 22 points and the Spurs beat the Bobcats. Tim Duncan and Richard Jefferson added 17 apiece and the Spurs dropped the Bobcats to 1-9 on the road. Charlotte won’t get any breaks Saturday night against the Mavericks, a team the Bobcats have never beaten.

Hawks 111, Raptors 89

TORONTO — Joe Johnson scored 20 points, Jamal Crawford and Maurice Evans each had 15, and the Hawks handed the Raptors another double-digit loss. Zaza Pachulia scored 14 points, Jeff Teague had 11 and Al Horford scored 10 for Atlanta, which has won three straight and five of seven.

Bulls 96, Warriors 91, OT

CHICAGO — Luol Deng scored 21 points, Joakim Noah finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds, and the Bulls snapped a four-game losing streak. Deng and Derrick Rose had back-to-back baskets to put the Bulls, who never trailed in overtime, up 93-89 with 2:54 left. Deng made another jumper to make it 95-89 with 1:35 left.
