Nets 113, Bucks 111

Joe Johnson hit an 18-foot jumper with 0:01 left in the first overtime to break a tie and the host Brooklyn Nets. Johnson scored 24 points to lead the Nets.

The Bucks took a 111-108 lead on Luc Richard Mbah a Moute’s layup with 2:58 left in overtime.

But the Nets did not score again. Keith Bogans hit a 3-pointer with 1:02 to play to tie the score.

Grizzlies 105, Pistons 91

Mike Conley scored 19 points, Zach Randolph had his 31st double-double and visiting Memphis won its fourth consecutive game.

Raptors 96, Wizards 88

DeMar DeRozan and Rudy Gay scored 24 points apiece, and the visiting Toronto Raptors won a matchup between slow-starting, coming-on-lately teams.

Kemba Walker and Gerald Henderson each had 24 points, Byron Mullens added 20 points and 12 rebounds and the visiting Charlotte Bobcats survived a second-half comeback to hold off the Orlando Magic. Mullens has had at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in three of the Bobcats’ last five games.

Bulls 96, Hornets 87

Luol Deng scored 20 points and the visiting Chicago Bulls snapped a two-game skid. The Bulls took the lead for good late in the first quarter, but didn’t put the Hornets away until Deng’s clutch jumper from the top of the key with 44.8 seconds left put Chicago up 94-87.

Jazz 115, Warriors 101

Al Jefferson scored 24 points, Gordon Hayward added 17 in his return from a shoulder injury and the host Utah Jazz extended the Warriors’ losing streak to six games. Utah got 47 points from its reserves.
