AP , INDIANAPOLIS

Josh Howard added 18 points for Dallas.

Andre Iguodala had 15 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists for Philadelphia, which has lost three straight. Samuel Dalembert finished with a season-high 18 points and Willie Green added 16.

Bobcats 91, Heat 76

At Charlotte, North Carolina, Gerald Wallace scored 19 points and Jason Richardson added 18 to lead Charlotte to a win over Miami.

Emeka Okafor had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats, who dominated the punchless Heat. Playing again without Dwyane Wade, Miami often struggled to just get a shot off and dropped to 1-6.

Shaquille O'Neal had 17 points and six rebounds, but got little help. While O'Neal shot seven-of-14, the other four starters combined to shoot nine-for-34 as Wade missed his seventh straight game due to an offseason knee surgery.

Wade worked out during the day, but was held out again as he tries to get his left knee to 100 percent.

Trail Blazers 102, Pistons 94

At Portland, Oregon, LaMarcus Aldridge had 22 points and 10 rebounds and Portland beat Detroit to snap a four-game losing streak at the Rose Garden.

The Blazers led by seven points in the final quarter, but Detroit narrowed it to 94-91 on Tayshaun Prince's layup with 2 minutes, 11 seconds to go. Jarrett Jack answered with a layup and the Blazers pulled away.

Jack and Brandon Roy each scored 20 points for Portland.

Prince led Detroit with 20 points, while Chauncey Billups added 19.
