    NBA roundup

    T'wolves 112, Knicks 91

    Kevin Love had a career-high 25 points to go with 11 rebounds and Minnesota exacted a little payback on New York Sunday night.

    Ryan Hollins had 16 points and three blocks in his second straight strong game since being inserted into the starting lineup for the Timberwolves, who lost by 27 points at Madison Square Garden last week.

    Wilson Chandler scored 27 points for the Knicks (18-29), who fell 11 games below .500 for the first time since Dec. 2 when they were 4-15.

    One night after playing all 48 minutes in a loss at Washington, Jared Jeffries had 14 points and six rebounds for the Knicks, who have lost three in a row.

    76ers 83, Nets 79

    Andre Iguodala scored 14 points, including seven in a key portion of the third quarter, leading Philadelphia to a victory over New Jersey.

    The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Philadelphia, while the lowly Nets (4-42) kept pace with the 1972-73 Sixers for the worst record in NBA history.

    Cavs 114, Clippers 89

    LeBron James scored half of Cleveland's 46 points in the first quarter and the streaking Cavaliers tied an NBA record with 11 3-pointers in the opening period of their victory over Los Angeles.

    The 46 points tied a franchise mark for most in a quarter, and Cleveland's 16 3-pointers fell one shy of the team record for a game.. James finished with 32 points and 11 assists.

    Nuggets 103, Spurs 89

    Kenyon Martin scored 27 points and Denver won again without Carmelo Anthony.

    The NBA's leading scorer missed his fourth consecutive game with a sprained ankle but the Nuggets still bounced back after Oklahoma City ended their eight-game win streak Friday. Anthony could return Monday.

    Chauncey Billups scored 25 and J.R Smith had 18 for the Nuggets, who've breezed through the new year so far. Denver went 12-3 in January.

    Suns 115, Rockets 111

    Amare Stoudemire scored a season-high 36 points, Steve Nash handed out 16 assists and Phoenix beat Houston in overtime.

    Nash scored 11 points and grabbed a season-high eight rebounds, and Grant Hill added 19 points for the Suns, who snapped a five-game road losing streak. Phoenix has won nine of its last 12 games in Houston.

    Raptors 117, Pacers 102

    Chris Bosh had 26 points and 15 rebounds, Andrea Bargnani scored 17 points and Toronto won its fifth straight game.

    Former Pacers guard Jarrett Jack scored 16 points and was one of seven Raptors to reach double figures as Toronto shot a season-best 60.2 percent (50 for 83) and topped 100 points for the 13th straight game.

    Luther Head scored 15 points as Indiana lost its third straight. Troy Murphy and Brandon Rush each had 14.

    Thunder 112, Warriors 104

    Kevin Durant scored a season-high 45 points to take over second place in the NBA scoring race, Russell Westbrook added 28 points and eight assists, and Oklahoma City beat Golden State.

    Durant made 16-of-21 shots and ended up two points shy of the highest-scoring output of his career - and the Thunder ended up needing every basket.

    Corey Maggette scored 26 points for Golden State and Monta Ellis added 25, including a pair of 3-pointers that got the Warriors within three late.

    Magic 91, Pistons 86

    J.J. Redick scored 17 points and Dwight Howard overcame free-throw problems to put up 16 points and 14 rebounds as Orlando beat struggling Detroit.

    The victory means Orlando's Stan Van Gundy will coach the Eastern Conference in the All-Star game Feb. 14 in Arlington, Texas.
