NBA roundup: Sixers spoil Kobe's career milestone

PHILADELPHIA — Lou Williams nailed the go-ahead 3-pointer, scored 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, and spoiled Kobe Bryant's record-setting night while leading the Philadelphia 76ers to 95-90 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.

With "Beat L.A.!" echoing through a second straight sellout crowd, Williams hit the tying jumper, then followed with the 3 for a 91-88 lead. He hit another floater to make it 93-88, part of a fantastic fourth that saw him hold off Bryant and help the Sixers improve to 13-3 at home.

Bryant scored 24 of his 28 points in the first half. He passed former teammate Shaquille O'Neal and moved into fifth place on the NBA's career scoring list. Bryant got 24 points in a hurry to pass O'Neal, but stumbled down the stretch and missed nine of his 10 shots in the fourth.

Andrew Bynum had 20 points and 20 rebounds for the Lakers. Pau Gasol had 16 points and 11 rebounds.

CLIPPERS 107, MAGIC 102: At Orlando, Fla., Chris Paul scored 29 points, including 11 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and the Los Angeles Clippers overcame a 15-point first-half deficit and slipped by the Orlando Magic. Blake Griffin and Chauncey Billups each added 18 points for the Clippers.

The Clippers have won six of the last seven games and snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Magic. But they may have lost Billups for an extended period after he slipped and left in the fourth quarter with a left Achilles injury.

Dwight Howard had 33 points and 14 rebounds, and Jason Richardson added 20 points for the Magic. Point guard Jameer Nelson returned to the Orlando lineup after missing five consecutive games with concussion symptoms and had 15 points and 12 assists.

WIZARDS 111, RAPTORS 108 (OT): At Washington, John Wall scored 31 points, Nick Young had a season-high 29 and Trevor Booker added a season-high 19 as the Wizards blew an 18-point third-quarter lead and then hung on to beat Toronto in overtime.

Jerryd Bayless and Linas Kleiza each had a season-high 30 points for Toronto.

SUNS 99, HAWKS 90: At Atlanta, Steve Nash scored 24 points and Phoenix broke open a close game with a 24-6 run to close the third quarter and beat the Hawks.

Nash, whose 38th birthday is today, had 11 assists and shot 9-of-12 — including all four of his 3-pointers. Channing Frye had 19 points, including a 3-pointer and another basket in the closing minutes to help the Suns stop Atlanta's final comeback attempt.
