at Charlotte 108, Minnesota 95: Stephen Jackson shook off a sore hand and busted out of his shooting slump with 37 points as the Bobcats sent the reeling Timberwolves to their 14th straight loss.

at New Jersey 93, Sacramento 79: Brook Lopez had 26 points and 13 rebounds, and the Nets snapped an eight-game losing streak and a franchise-record, 14-game skid at home.

at Indiana 99, Washington 82: Danny Granger scored 31 points to help the Pacers extend the Wizards’ losing streak to a franchise record-tying 13 games. Andray Blatche started for the Wizards a night after he was benched for most of the game following a spat with Coach Flip Saunders. He finished with 21 points in 39 minutes.

at Oklahoma City 122, Houston 104: Kevin Durant scored 25 points, James Harden added a spark with 23 points off the bench while returning from an injury and the Thunder snapped a 13-game losing streak against the Rockets.
