Miami 99, at San Antonio 83: The Spurs’ Tony Parker sprained his left ankle in the first quarter, and the Heat took advantage of his absence with Dwyane Wade producing 33 points and 10 rebounds in the victory. X-rays were negative on Parker, who Coach Gregg Popovich said would probably be out two to four weeks.

at Charlotte 92, New Orleans 89: Bobcats Coach Larry Brown went with an odd lineup midway through the fourth quarter that included D.J. Augustin, Adam Morrison and Matt Carroll. The trio fueled a 14-2 run capped by Augustin’s three-point shot that made it 85-78 lead with 2:54 left. Then Raymond Felton made two pivotal free throws for the Bobcats down the stretch, and the Hornets’ Chris Paul missed a three-pointer at the buzzer.

New York 114, at Washington 108: Jamal Crawford led Coach Mike D’Antoni’s never-take-a-breath attack with 23 points, and the Knicks made 51% of their shots in the victory. “It’s fun,” said Chris Duhon, who had 12 assists and no turnovers. “We still have a lot to learn.”
