NBA roundup | Monday night’s other games
Lakers 93, Grizzlies 84
MEMPHIS, TENN.
Kobe Bryant scored 19 points and Lamar Odom had 15 points and 11 rebounds. Memphis got within two points in the fourth quarter, but Los Angeles took advantage of five Grizzlies turnovers to go on an 11-0 run and take an 89-76 lead. The Lakers, who tied the season series 2-all, have won three of four overall. The Grizzlies have lost two straight but still have won five of their last seven.
Bobcats 94, Celtics 89
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Gerald Wallace scored 19 points, including the clinching free throws with 3 seconds left. Shaun Livingston added a season-high 18 points, little-used Eduardo Najera had a key 3-pointer late, and the Bobcats snapped six-game losing streak to Boston in a testy game that included five technical fouls and yet another emotional outburst by Jackson. Ray Allen scored 25 points and hit two 3-pointers.
Timberwolves 104, Hornets 92
NEW ORLEANS
Kevin Love had 27 points and 17 rebounds. Minnesota’s second double-digit win over New Orleans this season might have been a costly one, though. Michael Beasley, who had 14 points, had to be helped off the floor with a left leg injury in the fourth quarter and starting center Darko Milicic departed with a strained left hip flexor in the first.
