CARMELO Anthony scored 31 points and made a game-saving block at the buzzer to help the Denver Nuggets hold on for a 98-96 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in yesterday's NBA action.
With time winding down, Anthony blocked Derek Fisher's shot as Denver won its fourth straight.
The slumping Lakers gave Kobe Bryant the night off to rest a swollen right knee and an aching right index finger.
Despite a late-season form wobble, Los Angeles remains in control for the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The Lakers needs just one more win in their last four or just one more loss by Denver to wrap it up.
Bulls 109, Cavaliers 108
In Chicago, the hosts survived some shaky free-throw shooting down the stretch to beat a Cleveland team minus LeBron James.
Derrick Rose scored 24 points and Kirk Hinrich had 23 as the Bulls moved into a tie with eighth-place Toronto in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors hold the tiebreaker, but with Chris Bosh injured, Chicago's chances are looking good.
The Bulls prevailed even though Rose and Luol Deng each missed two free throws in the final 15 seconds.
Cleveland's Mo Williams scored a season-high 35 points on a night when James was rested.
Kings 116, Clippers 94
In Sacramento, California, Sacramento snapped an eight-game losing streak while extending Los Angeles skid to seven.
Tyreke Evans had 28 points, six rebounds and seven assists for the Kings, who saw their 16-point halftime trimmed to eight after three quarters.
Sacramento had a 16-2 to run to start the fourth in pushing their lead to 100-78. It was the first time in nine games that the Kings topped 100 points.
Chris Kaman scored 23 points for the Clippers.
