* at Washington 117, Indiana 110: Roger Mason scored 31 points and the Wizards helped clinch the final Eastern Conference playoff spot for Atlanta by beating the Pacers, the last team mathematically able to catch the Hawks. Atlanta hasn’t been in the playoffs since 1999.

* at Utah 105, Houston 96: Carlos Boozer scored 21 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, helping the Jazz win the season series, 2-1, and giving Utah home-court advantage against Houston if both teams have identical records and meet in the first round of the playoffs.

* San Antonio 101, at Sacramento 98: Tony Parker had a season-tying 32 points and 11 assists as the Spurs held off the Kings. The Kings, who missed three three-point attempts in the final seconds, played without Kevin Martin (knee) and Ron Artest, their two leading scorers.

* Cleveland 91, at Philadelphia 90: The Cavaliers clinched home court in the first round of the playoffs when Devin Brown sank two free throws with 0.2 seconds left after the 76ers were brought back on the court because of a controversial Samuel Dalembert foul.

* at Toronto 91, Miami 75: The Raptors clinched the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs by sweeping the season series against the Heat for the first time in their 13-year history. Miami (14-67) must beat Atlanta at home Wednesday to avoid its worst record.
