Maws win at buzzer
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
Dirk Nowitzki came through
when it mattered.
Despite missing 13 of his first
14 shots and 16 of 23 overall,
the seven-foot forward hit a
turnaround 17-foot jumper
over Reggie Evans at the buzzer
to give the Dallas Mavericks a
95-93 victory against Philadel-
phia, snapping the 76ers’ sea-
son-high seven-game winning
streak.
Nowitzki received the in-
hounds pass with 4.3 seconds
left and spun around the 6-
foot-8 Evans to deliver the
game-winning shot.
Nowitzki finished with 24
points, Jason Kidd had 22
points and 12 rebounds and
Jason Terry added 20 for the
Mavericks (24-17).
Lou Williams scored 25
points, while Andre Iguodala

trying to climb above .500 for
the first time since Nov. 23

Miller added 12 points for Phil-
adelphia, whose four-game
home winning streak ended.
Dallas overcame an early
deficit and was sparked by
Kidd and Nowitzki.
Spurs 86, Bobcats 84
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -
Tim Duncan experienced the
full spectrum of emotions in 10
seconds.
First, he had a potential
game-clinching shot blocked.
Then he hustled hack and
blocked Raymond Felton s
tying shot attempt — only he
swatted it so hard it landed in
the hands ot a wide-open Boris
Diaw.
Then he watched helplessly
as Diaw’s game-winning 3-
pointer bounced oft the rim at
the buzzer, giving Duncan a
sigh of relief and his San
Antonio Spurs a wild 86-84
win over the Charlotte Bobcats
on Monday.
All in 10 frantic, uninterrupt-
ed seconds.
Duncan had 17 points, 11
rebounds and six assists, while
Tony Parker added 13 points
and to assists for the Spurs,
who held the Bobcats to 36 per-
cent shooting in their second
straight win following a 22-
point loss to Philadelphia that
began their three-game road
|<a|a Bell semed 2., points in
his best offensive performance
since being acquired by the
Bobcats last month.
Diaw added 16 points and 13
rebounds.
Rockets 115, Nuggets 113
HOUSTON (AP) The Den-
ver Nuggets felt a had call cost
them a win against the Hous-
ton Rockets.
Yao Ming scored 31 points,
Rater Alston added t8 points
and it assists and the Rockets
beat the Nuggets 115-113 on
Monday.
Denver’s Kenyon Martin
missed two foul shots with 2.6
seconds left, and Yao got the
rebound to clinch the win. But
the Nuggets felt they had the
go-ahead basket wrongly taken
away on their previous posses-
sion.
Yao missed with 18 seconds
left, Martin rebounded and
Denver coach George Karl
called timeout. Linas Kleiza
drove into the lane and passed
to Nene for a dunk. But the
basket didn’t count because
referee Bennett Salvatore
called a charge on Kleiza for
running into Chuck I laves.
Aaron Brooks hit t-of-2 from
the line with 6.5 seconds to go
and Karl called one more time-
out. aChauncey Billups fed
Martin cutting down the lane,
and he was fouled. Martin
came into the game making
58.3 percent of his free throws.
J.R. Smith scored 24, Nene
had 23 and Martin 22 for the
Nuggets, who lost for just the
third time in 12 games.
Von Wafer had 18 points and
Luis Scola finished with 16 for
the Rockets, who have won five
of their last six games. Yao
went i3-for-t9 front the field -
5-for-8 in the fourth quarter.
Yao, who went i2-for-i2
from the field in a win over
Miami on Saturday, missed his
first two shots on Monday.
