Daequan Cook scored 16 points, Jermaine O’Neal added 14 and Jamario Moon added 12 for the Heat, who took control with a 22-8 run to close the third quarter and held on from there. Allen Iverson scored 22 points and Tayshaun Prince added 18 for the Pistons (27-28), who fell under .500 this late in a season for the first time since 2000-01.

Raptors 118, Timberwolves 100

TORONTO — Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani each scored 26 points, Anthony Parker had 24, and Toronto beat Minnesota for the 10th consecutive time. Jose Calderon had 15 points and 13 assists for Toronto, with Jason Kapono adding 11 points and Shawn Marion 10. Randy Foye scored 25 and Ryan Gomes had 23 for the Timberwolves, who have lost 11 of 13. Kevin Love had 11 points in the first quarter but finished with just 15, while Mike Miller had 12 rebounds for Minnesota.

Bulls 120, Magic 102

CHICAGO— Derrick Rose scored 22 points and the Bulls got strong efforts from their three newcomers. The three Bulls acquired at the trade deadline combined for 37 points in their home debuts. Tim Thomas scored 17 points, John Salmons 11 and Brad Miller had nine points, seven rebounds and five assists. The Bulls shot a season-high 56.5 percent, scoring the most points of a Magic opponent this season. New Orleans’ 117-85 win last week set the previous high.

Lakers 107, Thunder 93

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kobe Bryant scored 10 of his 36 points in a 3-minute span of the fourth quarter to thwart an Oklahoma City rally and lead the Lakers. Bryant moved into 19th place on the NBA’s career scoring list, moving ahead of Adrian Dantley only one game after he passed Elgin Baylor for 20th. Entering the game, he had needed only 13 points to tie Dantley. He got to that point with the first of back-to-back jumpers that pushed the lead back to 18 with 7:05 left in the third quarter after Oklahoma City had gotten within 10. The Thunder still had one last charge in them, closing within one before Bryant returned from the bench and took over. Kevin Durant scored 32 to lead Oklahoma City in its sixth straight loss.
