NBA roundup: Magic beat Cavs in China

SHANGHAI, China — LeBron James stood in the middle of the court at halftime, an advertisement as big as any for next year's Olympics.

He waved a replica of the red and silver torch for the Beijing Games while Chinese and U.S. flags hung from the rafters of newly built Qizhong Arena.

The public address announcer mingled English with Chinese. NBA commissioner David Stern was at the game. Jazz musician Kenny G sat in the front row.

PISTONS 119, NUGGETS 110: At Grand Rapids, Mich., Jason Maxiell scored 25 points and Flip Murray added 21 to lead the Detroit Pistons to a victory over the Denver Nuggets. J.R. Smith led Denver with 33 points.

PACERS 122, GRIZZLIES, 115: At Indianapolis, Marquis Daniels scored 24 points to spoil Mike Conley Jr.'s homecoming.

RAPTORS 105, ZALGIRIS KAUNAS 99: At Toronto, Jason Kapono and T.J. Ford each scored 13 points to lead the Raptors.

CELTICS 101, KNICKS 61: At Boston, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen made their Boston debuts, and holdover Paul Pierce scored 22 points to lead the Celtics.
