JOHN Wall had 26 points and 12 assists to lead the Washington Wizards to a 99-89 victory over the New Orleans Hornets yesterday, just hours after making a multiplayer deal at the NBA trade deadline.
Roger Mason scored 17 of his season-high 19 points in the second half to help the Wizards end a three-game losing streak and win for only the 10th time this season.
Chris Kaman scored 20 points for the Hornets, who erased a 16-point deficit and took a brief lead in the fourth quarter only to watch Mason hit three 3-pointers during a 13-0 Washington run that put the game away.
Earlier in the day, Washington traded guard Nick Young and centers JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf to Denver as part of a three-team deal.
MAVERICKS 101, BOBCATS 96
In Dallas, Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points as the Mavericks rallied from 14 points down in the second quarter to beat last-placed Charlotte.
The Mavericks won their second straight game, although the victories have come against woeful Washington and Charlotte.
Jason Terry added 18 points for the Mavs, who had lost eight of their previous 11.
Corey Maggette scored 21 points to lead the Bobcats, who trailed by 17 in the final quarter before pulling to 99-96 on D.J. Augustin's layup with 19 seconds left. But Nowitzki converted two free throws on his team's next possession to clinch the victory.
THUNDER 103, NUGGETS 90
In Denver, Kevin Durant scored 24 points and Russell Westbrook had 23 as Oklahoma City beat short-handed Denver.
James Harden scored 18 off the bench for the Thunder, who bounced back from a loss to Houston at home Monday.
Andre Miller had 17 to lead the Nuggets, who played the game while a trade sending Nene to Washington for JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf was finalized.
Denver signed Nene to a new five-year, $67 million contract in December, and the Brazilian was averaging 13.4 points and 7.4 rebounds in an injury-plagued season. But the recent play of rookie forward Kenneth Faried made Nene expendable.
JAZZ 111, TIMBERWOLVES 105, OT
At Salt Lake City, Gordon Hayward scored 18 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and overtime and Paul Millsap made a flurry of key plays in the final minute to lead Utah.

Millsap finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high eight steals. Devin Harris scored 18 points and Alec Burks had a career-best 15.
Kevin Love had 25 points and 16 rebounds to lead Minnesota.
