Raymond Felton added 16 points and 13 assists as the Bobcats won their second straight game.

Jermaine O'Neal had 30 points and eight rebounds, while Peja Stojakovic and Stephen Jackson each had 18 points for the Pacers, who lost their ninth straight road game.

Grizzlies 93, Rockets 81

At Houston, Mike Miller scored 25 points, Shane Battier hit his first eight shots and added 19, and Memphis completed the franchise's first season sweep of Houston.

Pau Gasol added 16 points and 10 rebounds for playoff-bound Memphis, which won for the sixth time in seven games.

Juwan Howard scored 16 points on 5-for-18 shooting for the Rockets, who've dropped seven of their last eight as they limp to the end of their injury-ravaged season.

With two games left, Houston is already assured of its worst record since the 2001-2002 team finished 28-54. The Rockets' home record fell to 15-25, their most losses at home since 1982-1983, when they lost 32 during a 14-68 season.

Hawks 120, Bucks 114

At Milwaukee, Josh Smith scored a career-high 28 points and Marvin Williams added 19 for Atlanta, but Milwaukee qualified for the playoffs despite the loss.

Atlanta snapped an 11-game road losing streak by getting 16 points from Zaza Pachulia, 15 points each from Donta Smith and Joe Johnson, and 14 from Tyronn Lue.

The Hawks overcame Andrew Bogut's career-high 24 points to go with 12 rebounds. Michael Redd scored 36 points, Bobby Simmons 18 and Charlie Bell 10 as Milwaukee made the playoffs just before halftime when Orlando beat Philadelphia 102-97 earlier in the night.

The Bucks can still earn the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference if they win all their remaining games -- home against Detroit on Monday and at Washington on Tuesday.

Kings 100, Nuggets 82

At Denver, Mike Bibby scored 23 points and Sacramento downed Denver to inch closer to its eighth straight playoff berth.

Kenny Thomas added 18 points for Sacramento, which moved 1 1/2 games ahead of Utah for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. A win in the Kings' final two games or a loss by Utah, which has three games left, will secure the playoff spot for Sacramento.

Ruben Patterson scored 20 points to lead the Nuggets, who trailed the entire second half despite the returns of Kenyon Martin (knee) and Marcus Camby (back).

Warriors 86, Trail Blazers 81

At Portland, Oregon, Ike Diogu had 15 points and eight rebounds to lead short-handed Golden State past Portland. Juan Dixon and Martell Webster each scored 17 points for the Blazers, who have lost 17 of their last 18 games and have the worst record in the NBA.

Andris Biedrins had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Mike Dunleavy added 12 points, seven rebounds and five assists for the Warriors, who have won three straight but are in last place in the Pacific Division.
