Nuggets win after clock review
CHICAGO — Chauncey Billups hit the go-ahead free throw with six-tenths of a second left and Denver beat Chicago 90-89 on Tuesday night after a potential winning jumper by Brad Miller was overturned following a lengthy replay review.
Billups was fouled on a drive and then intentionally missed the second free throw after making the first to break the tie. Chicago's Joakim Noah grabbed the rebound.
After a timeout, Miller caught the inbounds pass from Kirk Hinrich and, in one motion, buried a jumper from the top of the key.
After a review, the officials ruled time had expired, and the Nuggets snapped a two-game losing streak.
HEAT 90, WIZARDS 76: At Miami, Dwyane Wade scored 41 points and Miami remained in first place in the Southeast Division.
It's the second time Wade scored at least 40 this season, both against Washington.
TRAIL BLAZERS 93, GRIZZLIES 79: At Memphis, Tenn., Brandon Roy scored 20 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Portland won its third straight.
MAGIC 93, BOBCATS 81: At Charlotte, N.C., Dwight Howard had 15 points and 10 rebounds and Vince Carter scored 15 points for Orlando in his return from a sprained ankle. Two nights after losing by 28 points in Oklahoma City, the Magic built a big lead with the help of Carter, who had missed four of the past five games.
MAVERICKS 121, ROCKETS 103: At Dallas, Jason Terry scored 24 points, Erick Dampier had 14 points and 20 rebounds, and Dallas overcame an early 17-point deficit to beat Houston.
KINGS 101, THUNDER 98: At Sacramento, Jason Thompson had 21 points and 14 rebounds to help Sacramento beat Oklahoma City, giving the Kings their first three-game winning streak in over a year.
Sacramento (4-4) reached the .500 mark for the first time since 2006.
