Denver slips past Chicago
CHICAGO -- Chauncey Billups hit the go-ahead free throw with six-tenths of a second left and Denver beat Chicago 90-89 on Tuesday 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 -- Dwyane Wade scored 41 points and Miami remained in first place in the Southeast Division.
Trail Blazers 93, Grizzlies 79 -- Brandon Roy scored 20 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Portland won its third straight.
Magic 93, Bobcats 81 -- 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.
Brandon Bass scored 12 of his 14 points in the first quarter for Orlando.
Raymond Felton had 18 points and Boris Diaw added 14 for Charlotte, which cut a 22-point first-half deficit to six early in the fourth quarter but could get no closer in its second straight loss.
Carter was just 5 of 16 from the field, but provided a boost off the bench in his surprise return.
