* at Miami 78, Milwaukee 73: Chris Quinn, filling in for an injured Jason Williams, scored a career-high 24 points to lead the Heat. The Heat improved to 13-57.

* at Detroit 110, Phoenix 105 (OT): Chauncey Billups scored nine of his 32 points in overtime, and the Suns, who came into the game with a seven-game winning streak, lost to the Pistons for the second time in a month. The Pistons were missing guard Richard Hamilton (hip) and backup Juan Dixon (calf), which meant Lindsey Hunter played for the first time since Jan. 10.

* Philadelphia 95, at Boston 90: Andre Iguodala scored 28 points, including 10 in a row during a 19-0 fourth-quarter run as the 76ers rallied from an 11-point deficit to beat the Celtics. Eddie House’s three-pointer gave Boston an 80-69 lead with 8:20 to play, but the Celtics didn’t score again until Paul Pierce made one of two free throws with 1:38 left.
