RESULTS, SCHEDULE

Phoenix 115, at Houston 105: The Suns made 27 of 37 shots (73%) in the first half to take a 12-point lead. Tracy McGrady missed his second consecutive game because of a sprained elbow and Houston fell to 11-41 without McGrady since he joined the team before the 2004-05 season.

at Indiana 117, Utah 97: The Pacers shot a season-best 58% from the field, including 11 of 23 from three-point range, and ended a six-game losing streak. Mike Dunleavy scored 25 points for Indiana, and Utah, losing its second in a row, committed 20 turnovers.

at Charlotte 100, Seattle 84: The SuperSonics, apparently worn out from their double-overtime victory at Atlanta on Friday, shot 31%. Kevin Durant was held to 16 points on three-of-12 shooting, and Damien Wilkins, who scored a career-high 41 points against the Hawks, made five of 16.

at Washington 109, Portland 90: Gilbert Arenas didn’t play because of a sore knee, but Antawn Jamison picked up the slack with 30 points for the Wizards, who won their fourth in a row. Nick Young, a rookie from USC, added 17 points after not scoring more than five in his first six games.

New Orleans 100, at Minnesota 82: The Hornets were playing without Chris Paul, but backup point guards Jannero Pargo and Bobby Jackson combined for 22 points and 12 assists. New Orleans won its fifth in a row and extended its franchise-best start to 9-2. The Timberwolves are 1-7.

Miami 91, at New Jersey 87: Penny Hardaway scored 16 points in his best game since returning to the league and Dwyane Wade scored 23. Wade made only four of 17 shots, but he was 15 of 20 from the foul line as Miami improved to 2-8.

at Dallas 108, Memphis 105: Josh Howard scored 27 points, six during a key fourth-quarter stretch, as the Mavericks’ Avery Johnson recorded his 150th victory in his 191st game, making him the fastest coach to 150 in NBA history. Runner-up Phil Jackson needed 203 games to reach 150.

at Denver 115, New York 83: The Knicks went 0-4 on their trip and the teams that brawled Dec. 16 at New York got into it again in the third quarter. New York’s Renaldo Balkman was called for a hard foul, and Linas Kleiza took exception and began jawing at him. Kleiza was given a technical.

at Milwaukee 105, Atlanta 96: The Hawks have lost 17 consecutive road games, their last victory away from home coming on Valentine’s Day against the Clippers. Andrew Bogut and Michael Redd each scored 21 points for the Bucks, and Josh Smith had a career-high 38 for Atlanta.

Chicago 92, at Clippers 73: No Corey Maggette means not much scoring for the Clippers. After getting only 40 points in the first half, they outdid themselves with 33 after intermission. Chris Kaman continued to put up good numbers, however, with 21 points and eight rebounds.
