NBA roundup: Grizzlies gobble up Celtics for seventh straight road win

BOSTON — Rudy Gay scored 28 points to lead Memphis to a 111-91 victory over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night and give the Grizzlies a franchise-record seventh straight road win.

It was the Grizzlies' first victory over Boston in seven tries since 2006.

O.J. Mayo scored 17 points and Zach Randolph had 13 points and 10 rebounds for Memphis.

Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo scored 17 points apiece, and Rondo added eight assists for the Celtics. It matched Boston's worst loss of the season and the worst loss for the Celtics with Kevin Garnett in the lineup.

BOBCATS 102, 76ERS 87: At Philadelphia, Gerald Wallace scored 28 points on 9-for-10 shooting from the field, Stephen Jackson added 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Charlotte won its fourth straight game. Boris Diaw contributed 13 points for the Bobcats (32-31), who have never advanced to the postseason in their six seasons. They improved to just 9-23 on the road.

HEAT 108, CLIPPERS 97: At Miami, Dwyane Wade had 27 points and eight assists, Jermaine O'Neal finished with 19 points and nine rebounds, and Miami extended its longest home winning streak of the season to four games by beating Los Angeles. Michael Beasley scored 15 points before leaving with a thigh bruise late in the third quarter, and Mario Chalmers chipped in with 12 points for Miami.

NUGGETS 110, TIMBERWOLVES 102: At Minneapolis, Chauncey Billups scored 25 points and got a huge lift from role players Chris Andersen, Nene and J.R. Smith in Denver's victory over Minnesota. Andersen had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Nene had 17 points and nine boards and Smith scored 15 to shake the Nuggets out a first-half funk and deliver their fourth straight win.

THUNDER 98, HORNETS 83: At Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 29 points, Russell Westbrook added 17 points and came up just shy of a triple-double, and Oklahoma City beat injury-depleted New Orleans. The Hornets got off to a hot start in their latest return to the building they called home for two seasons following Hurricane Katrina, but it was short-lived with Peja Stojakovic (lower abdominal strain) joining All-Star point guard Chris Paul on the team's injured list.

MAVERICKS 96, NETS 87: At Dallas, Jason Kidd had 20 points and nine assists, Caron Butler added 16 points, and the Mavericks recovered from a lethargic start to match the NBA's longest winning streak this season with their 13th straight victory. Rookie Roddy Beaubois' 16 points and Shawn Marion's 14 points and 13 rebounds helped the Mavericks equal Cleveland's winning streak from Jan. 10-Feb. 11.

SPURS 97, KNICKS 87: At San Antonio, Manu Ginobili scored 28 points in the Spurs' victory over New York, which clinched a franchise-record ninth consecutive losing season. Tim Duncan had 18 for the Spurs, who have won five of six. David Lee had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Knicks (22-42), who haven't finished with a winning record since 2001.

KINGS 113, RAPTORS 90: At Sacramento, Calif., Tyreke Evans recorded his first career triple-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, leading Sacramento over Toronto. Beno Udrih had 24 points and eight assists, and Carl Landry and Donte Greene each added 15 points for the Kings, who scored 43 points in the third quarter.
