    NBA Roundup

    Knicks 108, Wizards 87

    Carmelo Anthony and JR Smith each scored 20 points Friday night, and New York beat Washington for the 10th straight time.

    Tyson Chandler and Ronnie Brewer each added 12 points for the Knicks, who improved to 6-0 at home and also beat the Wizards for the ninth straight time at Madison Square Garden. Both winning streaks are their longest active against one team.

    Chandler finished with 10 rebounds but his 5-of-8 shooting represented a cold night after the NBA's leading shooter had made 16 of 17 over his previous two games and came in shooting 71.8 percent for the season.

    Raymond Felton scored 11 points for the Knicks, who shot 53 percent from the field in their third straight game without starting guard Jason Kidd, who remains out with lower back spasms.

    Jordan Crawford scored 17 points and rookie Bradley Beal had 14 for the Wizards, who beat Portland 84-82 on Wednesday for their lone victory after a 0-12 start but were never in this game after the first 10 minutes.

    Nets 98, Magic 86

    Joe Johnson had 22 points and Brooklyn earned its fifth straight victory, holding off Orlando.

    Gerald Wallace added 20 points, including five 3-pointers, as all five Nets starters reached double figures.

    They beat the Magic for the third time this season and wrap up their three-game road trip in Miami on Saturday.

    Glen Davis had 16 points to lead the Magic, who lost their third straight game.

    Brooklyn center Brook Lopez missed his first game of the season with a mild right foot sprain. He is day to day.

    Orlando begins a five-game road trip Sunday in Los Angeles. It will be their first meeting against Dwight Howard since trading the All-Star center this past summer.

    The Magic were short-handed as well Friday, as point guard Jameer Nelson sat with a sore left Achilles tendon.
