NBA roundup: Mavs put skids to Detroit run
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points, and rookie Rodrique Beaubois added 14 points on 6-for-6 shooting to help the Dallas Mavericks beat Detroit, snapping the Pistons' winning streak at three.
Drew Gooden had 11 points and 11 rebounds, and Shawn Marion also had 11 points, and Jason Kidd added 10 points and seven assists for the Mavericks.
Rodney Stuckey led the Pistons with 28 points, and Will Bynum had 27, including 17 in the fourth quarter. Ben Gordon, though, went 1 for 16 and missed a 3-pointer that would have tied it with 2 seconds left.
ROCKETS 101, LAKERS 91: At Los Angeles, Aaron Brooks scored a career-high 33 points, including five 3-pointers, and the Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Lakers, sending them to a second consecutive loss.
The NBA champion Lakers were coming off a 105-79 drubbing at Denver two nights earlier only to have another team they vanquished in last season's title run show them up at home, where they got booed by their Staples Center fans.
CLIPPERS 101, THUNDER 93: At Oklahoma City, Baron Davis scored 24 points, including a key 3-pointer in the final minute, to help Los Angeles snap a three-game losing streak. Chris Kaman added 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting and had seven rebounds for Los Angeles. Kevin Durant scored a season-high 40 points and had eight rebounds for Oklahoma City.
SUNS 101, RAPTORS 100: At Phoenix, Amare Stoudemire followed one of the worst games of his career with his best game of the season, scoring 30 points to lead Phoenix to the Suns' 11th straight win over the Raptors. The Suns improved to an NBA-best 9-2, winning their 13th in a row at home.
