TONY Parker scored 19 points as the San Antonio Spurs won 109-84 last night, beating the New Orleans Hornets for the second time in a week.
Matt Bonner added 14 points, hitting four of five 3-point attempts, as the Spurs improved their NBA-best win-loss record to 17-3 and matched their best start through 20 games since the 2007-08 season.
Chris Paul had 16 points for the Hornets, who have lost four of five and were blown out from the start. They trailed by 38 and lately look nothing like the team that opened with eight straight wins.
But this win will likely be overshadowed by news yesterday that Hornets owner George Shinn has agreed to sell the club to the NBA. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press the deal could be completed within days.
Knicks 116, Raptors 99
At Toronto, Amare Stoudemire had 31 points and a season-high 16 rebounds and Wilson Chandler added 21 points as New York extended its road winning streak to seven.
Landry Fields had 15 points and 10 rebounds and Raymond Felton had 18 points for the Knicks, who matched their longest road winning streak since a seven-game run between December 27, 1994, and January 22, 1995.
Amir Johnson had a season-high 22 points and a career-high 16 rebounds for Toronto.
Nuggets 108, Grizzlies 107
At Denver, Nene scored 27 points and Arron Afflalo added 25 as Denver held off Memphis to give coach George Karl his 999th NBA victory.
Karl, talking with the Nuggets about an extension through the 2011-12 season, is 999-677 for a winning percentage of .596. Rudy Gay led the Grizzlies with 24 points.
Celtics 100, Nets 75
At Newark, Nate Robinson scored 21 points starting in place of an injured Rajon Rondo, leading Boston to its seventh straight victory.
Rondo was a last-minute scratch because of hamstring and foot injuries.
Jordan Farmar led New Jersey with 16 points.
Suns 125, Wizards 108
At Phoenix, Steve Nash was 8 of 8 from the field, made all four of his foul shots, scored 20 points and had a season-high 17 assists to help Phoenix keep Washington winless on the road this season.
Hakim Warrick had a season-high 26 points for the Suns.
Andray Blatche topped the Wizards, 0-10 on the road, with a season-high 24 points.
Thunder 114, Warriors 109
At Oklahoma, Kevin Durant scored 28 points in his first game back from a knee injury, and Russell Westbrook added 19 points and 13 assists for Oklahoma City.
Stephen Curry scored a season-high 39 points and ignited the Warriors' rally from a 21-point deficit to cut it to three in the final minute.
Oklahoma City made its first 29 free throws before Durant and Westbrook missed three in the final 2? minutes to let Golden State stick around. The Thunder finished 37 for 40 from the foul line.
Pistons 102, Cavaliers 92
At Auburn Hills, Richard Hamilton scored 27 points and Rodney Stuckey added 24 points and 11 assists to help Detroit beat Cleveland.
Both teams came into the game off embarrassing performances. Cleveland lost its last two games by a combined 62 points, including the highly anticipated return of LeBron James. Meanwhile, the Pistons were beaten at home by an Orlando team missing Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson and two other key players because of the flu.
Antawn Jamison led Cleveland with 22 points.
