PAUL Pierce, Ray Allen and Michael Finley scored 15 points apiece, and Kevin Garnett had 14 points and eight rebounds last night to help the Boston Celtics coast to a 119-93 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Boston rested its starters in the fourth quarter while beating a non-contender for the second straight home game. But in between was a 104-93 loss at Cleveland that could be a more important measurement of where the Celtics stand in the playoff hunt.
Will Bynum had 16 points and seven assists, and Jason Maxiell had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Pistons, who lost Tayshaun Prince to a first-quarter back injury, then slumped to their ninth loss in 11 games.
Rockets 125, Nuggets 123
At Houston, Aaron Brooks scored 31 points, including a jumper with 2.9 seconds left, to help the Rockets end Denver's six-game winning streak.
Carmelo Anthony scored 45 points for the Nuggets, but missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer. Luis Scola grabbed the final rebound and finished with 23 points and 11 boards.
Scola was coming off a career-high, 44-point game, and converted a key three-point play with 41 seconds remaining to put Houston ahead 122-121.
Kevin Martin scored 29 points for Houston. Chauncey Billups and J.R. Smith added 17 apiece for the Nuggets.
Jazz 112, Wizards 89
At Salt Lake City, Carlos Boozer scored 23 points and Deron Williams notched his 35th double-double of the season as Utah ended a two-game losing streak by beating Washington.
Williams finished with 17 points and 11 assists. Andray Blatche scored 24 points and Mike Miller added 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Wizards, who lost their eighth straight game.
Knicks 94, 76ers 84
At Philadelphia, Danilo Gallinari scored 21 points and Toney Douglas added 20 as New York rallied past struggling Philadelphia.
Al Harrington contributed 15, Tracy McGrady scored 14 and Wilson Chandler had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks.
Jrue Holiday scored 18 points, Willie Green added 17 and Andre Iguodala had 14 points and a career-high 17 rebounds for the Sixers, who have lost five in a row and 10 of their last 11.
