at Milwaukee 104, New Jersey 102: Luke Ridnour’s five-foot floater with 0.5 of a second left lifted the Bucks. Nets forward Yi Jianlian, who had 16 points, broke his pinkie finger on his right hand late in the third quarter and will sit out three to four weeks. “I was trying to steal the ball. Real quick slap on the finger,” Yi said.

at Orlando 121, Atlanta 87: The Magic ran off a season-high 41 points in the first quarter and led by 38 points at halftime. Orlando’s starters, led by Hedo Turkoglu’s 21 points, were a combined 24 for 39 from the field, including 10 for 13 on three-point shots.

at Philadelphia 93, Charlotte 87: The 76ers had a 20-4 fastbreak edge, and their shooting percentage hovered around 60% through three quarters. After the Bobcats cut their deficit to six in the fourth quarter, Philadelphia went on a 10-3 run to close it out.

at Toronto 103, Memphis 82: Chris Bosh had 32 points on 11-for-13 shooting, and Andrea Bargnani scored 21. Bargnani is averaging 21.7 points as a starter in the last six games in place of injured Jermaine O’Neal.

Houston 98, at Oklahoma City 96: The Rockets wasted a 15-point second-half lead, but Tracy McGrady scored 26 points and made two free throws with 8.2 seconds left to lead the victory. Houston’s Yao Ming did not make his first basket until early in the third quarter, missed a dunk later in that quarter and committed two offensive fouls in the fourth quarter. But the 7-foot-6 center scored nine of his 14 points in the final 4:22. “We just beat the Celtics,” Yao said of his motivation in the closing minutes. “You don’t want to lose here. That was in my head.”

at Chicago 98, Washington 86: Ben Gordon made up for four turnovers with 22 points, and Larry Hughes scored 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter for the Bulls after getting booed for most of the night because he has said he wants to be traded if he can’t get more minutes.

Detroit 93, at Denver 90: Tayshaun Prince made a running jumper with 20 seconds left, Arron Afflalo made six straight free throws after that, and the Pistons overcame 30 points by former Piston Chauncey Billups to win in Allen Iverson’s return to the Mile High city.

Miami 119, at Sacramento 115: Dwyane Wade scored nine of his 41 points in overtime to lead the Heat.
