RICHARD Jefferson scored 20 points in his best game since losing his starting job as the San Antonio Spurs beat Phoenix 113-110 yesterday to end the Suns' five-game winning streak.
Amare Stoudemire had a season-high 41 points and added 12 rebounds for Phoenix, but Jefferson and the Spurs hung on late to hand the Suns only their second loss since the All-Star break.
Jason Richardson could've tied it with about 40 seconds left, but blew an uncontested dunk on a fast break.
Lakers 95, Nuggets 89
At Los Angeles, Lamar Odom scored nine of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, and Pau Gasol had 15 points and 14 rebounds as the Los Angeles Lakers overcame an 11-point third-quarter deficit.
Kobe Bryant was just 3 for 17 from the field, finishing with 14 points and 12 assists. The two-time scoring champion was 1 for 9 in the first three quarters.
Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points for Denver before fouling out with 2:13 to play and the Nuggets down by four.

Jerry Stackhouse finished with 20 points in a reserve role for the Bucks, who had won six straight overall and six in a row on the road.
Magic 96, Heat 80
At Orlando, Florida, Rashard Lewis had 22 points, and Vince Carter added 17 to help Orlando overcome Dwight Howard's sub-par game.
