'Melo, Billups lead Nuggets past Jazz

CARMELO Anthony scored 37 points and Chauncey Billups added 29 in the Denver Nuggets' 119-112 win over Utah that snapped the Jazz' four-game winning streak yesterday.

Ty Lawson returned to Denver's rotation after missing four games with a sprained ankle and helped steady a sometimes erratic offense, scoring 11 points with an assist.

Nene added 18 points for the Nuggets, who improved to 3-0 against Utah and won the season series. That could prove crucial for playoff seeding should these teams end up with the same record in the tight Western Conference.

Point guard Deron Williams (sprained wrist) and forward Andrei Kirilenko (hyperextended knee) were both in Utah's starting lineup despite playing the night before in a 112-95 win over Milwaukee in Salt Lake City. Williams led the Jazz with 23 points but Kirilenko scored just 7.

Raptors 110, Mavericks 88

At Toronto, Chris Bosh had 23 points and 13 rebounds, and Andrea Bargnani scored 22 as Toronto won its seventh in eight home games to reach the midpoint of its season at 21-20.

Jose Calderon had 15 points and Jarrett Jack scored 11 as the Raptors took the lead with a huge second quarter and never trailed again, leading by as many as 26.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 19 points and Jason Terry had 18 for the Mavericks, who have lost three of four. Shawn Marion scored 15 and Jason Kidd had 12 points and nine assists.
