Steve Francis scored 23 points, Grant Hill added 17 and the Orlando Magic posted the NBA's highest-scoring game of the season on Wednesday with a 129-108 thrashing of the Toronto Raptors.
Eight Orlando players scored in double figures as the Magic shot 57.3 percent (51-for-89) and held a rebounding advantage of 61-32. Only three players didn't make at least half their shots.
Even Cuttino Mobley, sidelined the previous nine games with a groin strain, scored 16. Dwight Howard had 15 points and a season-high 20 rebounds for his third straight double-double.
Later Wednesday, Seattle tied Orlando's scoring output in a 129-119 overtime victory over Utah.
Vince Carter scored 21 points for Toronto in the Raptors' biggest loss of the season.
Celtics 101, Bucks 100
In Boston, Paul Pierce had a brief argument with Boston coach Doc Rivers when he was lifted from the game, but returned and made a key 3-pointer that helped the Celtics beat Milwaukee.
Pierce, who led Boston with 23 points, was lifted with just over four-and-a-half minutes to play and the Celtics holding a 92-91 lead. The star forward appeared agitated when Jiri Welsch came in for him. After a chat in the huddle between Pierce and Rivers during a timeout, Pierce returned and hit his 3-pointer on Boston's first possession, giving the Celtics a 97-93 lead with 2:40 to go.
Mark Blount had 16 points and 16 rebounds for Boston.
Michael Redd scored 23 points for Milwaukee, which fell to 0-7 on the road -- its worst stretch since losing 16 straight during the 1976-77 season.
Knicks 90, Grizzlies 82
In New York, Stephon Marbury made five 3-pointers in the second quarter to help put the Knicks ahead of Memphis for good, and New York received a fourth-quarter boost from Jerome Williams.
The loss was the fifth straight for Memphis, and the fourth since the unexpected resignation of coach Hubie Brown. The Grizzlies were in talks with Mike Fratello to become their new coach, but no deal had been finalized.
Marbury scored 26 points, 17 coming in the second quarter for New York, which has won five of six.
Williams, the third-string power forward averaging only 4.5 points, scored New York's first seven points of the fourth quarter, and his basket from inside with 6:01 left ended a 6-0 Grizzlies run and made it 83-73.
Bonzi Wells led Memphis with 16 points.
Wizards 95, Nets 68
In Washington, Gilbert Arenas had a season-high 30 points as Washing-ton welcomed coach Eddie Jordan back with a victory over his former team and sent New Jersey to its sixth consecutive road loss.
Arenas also had seven rebounds and five assists to lead the Wizards to their fifth victory in six games. Antawn Jamison added 18 points and nine rebounds as Washington posted its largest winning margin of the season.
Jordan, 49, was hospitalized with a blood clot in his left leg on Thanksgiving and missed two games.
Bulls 92, Lakers 84
In Chicago, rookies Luol Deng and Ben Gordon rescued Chicago in the fourth quarter and the Bulls held off a late charge by Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Deng scored nine points and Gordon eight in the fourth quarter as Chicago got just its second win in 12 games. Deng and Eddy Curry led the Bulls, returning home after a seven-game road trip, with 18 points each.
Bryant scored 28, including 14 in the final quarter, and had 10 assists. Chucky Atkins added 19 for the Lakers.
Spurs 105, 76ers 72
In San Antonio, Tim Duncan scored 24 points, including 17 straight in the second quarter, to lead San Antonio past Philadelphia.
Duncan, who sat out the fourth quarter, also had 12 rebounds and six blocks in 25 minutes for the 415th double-double of his career.
The victory was the 20th in a row for the Spurs at the SBC Center and tied the franchise's best start after 16 games at 13-3.
Marc Jackson led Philadelphia with 18 points, and Allen Iverson added 14.
With Duncan on the bench, Beno Udrih and Devin Brown rallied the team from a 21-14 deficit with three minutes left in the first quarter, combining to score all but four of the team's next 17 points. Brown scored a career high 24 points.
Kings 94, Hornets 81
In New Orleans, Brad Miller's 24 points and some outside shooting by Bobby Jackson and Peja Stoj-akovic lifted Sacramento and kept New Orleans winless at home.
The Hornets had a 20-point deficit trimmed to nine after Lee Nailon's one-handed follow of a missed 3-pointer with a little more than nine minutes to go. But 3-pointers on three straight Kings possessions -- two by Jackson and one by Stojakovic -- made the score 83-67 and all but ended any realistic chance of the Hornets (1-13) notching their first home victory in seven tries.
Stojakovic finished with 20 points, while Jackson, who hit his first six shots, had 19. Chris Webber added 12 points and nine assists, while Doug Christie scored 10 for the Kings, who shot 49 percent.

Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back. I’m excited to be back and can’t wait to join the team,” Cousins said in a video posted on the Leopard’s Facebook page. “Most of all, can’t wait to see you guys, the fans, next weekend.

Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He
Rafael Nadal on Wednesday said the upcoming French Open would be the moment to “give everything and die” on the court after his comeback from injury in Barcelona was curtailed by Alex de Minaur. The 22-time Grand Slam title winner, back playing this week after three months on the sidelines, battled well, but eventually crumbled 7-5, 6-1 against the world No. 11 from Australia in the second round. Nadal, 37, who missed virtually all of last season, is hoping to compete at the French Open next month where he is the record 14-time champion. The Spaniard said the clash with De Minaur was
