Antawn Jamison had 29 points and 10 rebounds and the Golden State Warriors spoiled a special night for Jason Kidd, defeating the New Jersey Nets, 105-97, Thursday night at Oakland.

Sacramento 104, Memphis 98 -- Chris Webber had 26 points and Peja Stojakovic added 22 at Memphis, Tenn., as the Kings held the Grizzlies without a field goal for the first 6 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter to overcome a five-point deficit and sweep the four-game season series.
Pau Gasol led Memphis with 24 points.
Dallas 107, Philadelphia 94 -- Dirk Nowitzki had 30 points and 14 rebounds as the Mavericks won at Philadelphia.
