PAUL Pierce scored 32 points, and Kevin Garnett had 18 points and 13 rebounds with a large bandage over a cut on his head, as the Boston Celtics won their NBA finals rematch with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, overcoming Kobe Bryant's 41 points in a 109-96 victory.
Ray Allen scored 21 points for the Celtics in the longtime rivals' first meeting since Los Angeles rallied from a late 13-point deficit for an 83-79 win in Game 7 last June.
Pau Gasol had 12 points in a quiet game for Los Angeles, which has lost four of seven.
In Oklahoma City, Dwyane Wade scored 32 points and Eddie House hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 22.2 seconds left as Miami got its Big 3 back together to beat Oklahoma 108-103.
LeBron James added 23 points and 13 rebounds, Chris Bosh scored 20 points in his first game back after a four-game absence and the Heat snapped Oklahoma City's home winning streak at six.
Kevin Durant scored 33 points but missed a contested jumper along the left baseline that would've tied it.
Jeff Green had 23 points and 11 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook added 21 points and 10 assists.
In Phoenix, backup center Marcin Gortat scored a career-high 25 points as the Suns beat a team with a winning record for the fourth straight time and surviving New Orleans' frantic late rally. Suns won 104-102.
The Suns nearly blew an eight-point lead in the final 18 seconds, but Grant Hill blocked Marcus Thornton's inside attempt with 3.9 seconds left and Hornets guard Chris Paul's desperation 3-point attempt missed the rim as time expired.
Paul led New Orleans with 26 points.
In Orlando, Florida, Dwight Howard had 20 points and 20 rebounds in three quarters, and Ryan Anderson added 23 points and 16 rebounds as Orlando handed Cleveland its 20th straight loss and 30th in 31 games. The Magic won 103-87.
In New York, Amare Stoudemire scored 33 points despite a sprained right knee, and rookie Timofey Mozgov had career highs of 23 points and 14 rebounds in his first appearance in three weeks as the Knicks outplayed the Pistons 124-106.
Elsewhere, it was: 76ers 110, Nuggets 99; and Warriors 96, Jazz 81.
