INDIANAPOLIS - Andrew Bogut made 14-of-19 from the floor for a career-high 31 points to go with 18 rebounds, as Milwaukee overcame shoddy free throw shooting down the stretch to post an 84-81 victory over the Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse. Brandon Jennings had eight of his 16 points in the fourth quarter for the Bucks, who snapped a three-game slide. Michael Redd chipped in 14 points as the team won despite making a mere 9- of-20 free throws. Roy Hibbert ended with 16 points and seven rebounds, while Tory Murphy logged 14 and 12 for Indiana, which fell to 3-5 since losing leading scorer Danny Granger to a foot injury.
Final Score: Orlando 104, Utah 99
ORLANDO, Fla. - Dwight Howard filled the statsheet yet again, posting 21 points, nine rebounds and five blocks as the Orlando Magic took a hard-fought 104-99 victory from the Utah Jazz. J.J. Redick added 20 points while Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis chipped in 18 points apiece for the Magic, who moved to 2-0 on a five-game homestand. They have won four of their last five games.

Deron Williams had 18 points and 12 assists and Paul Millsap totaled a team- high 20 points for the Jazz, who fell to 2-2 on a five-game road trip.

Final Score: Sacramento 102, Chicago 98
CHICAGO - Tyreke Evans scored 18 of his 23 points in the second half as the Kings came back from an astounding 35-point deficit in the third quarter to shock the Bulls in a 102-98 triumph at the United Center. Evans added eight rebounds in the amazing comeback, which also featured 17 points from Ime Udoka and 16 from Beno Udrih as Sacramento strung together back-to-back wins on the road for the first time since April of the 2007-08 season. Jason Thompson recorded 14 points and seven rebounds in the win. Luol Deng posted 26 points and Derrick Rose scored 24 and registered seven assists for the Bulls, who were coming off back-to-back wins for the first time since mid-November. John Salmons and Kirk Hinrich each notched 14 points as Chicago finished off a six-game homestand at 3-3 in disappointing fashion.
Final Score: San Antonio 103, LA Clippers 87
SAN ANTONIO - Tony Parker led seven Spurs in double figures with 19 points, as San Antonio rolled over the Clippers, 103-87. Tim Duncan added 13 points, while Richard Jefferson and Keith Bogans each chipped in 11 for the Spurs, winners of three straight and six of seven overall.

Chris Kaman ended with game-highs of 23 points and 15 rebounds, while Rasual Butler scored 18 points off the bench for Los Angeles, which fell to 2-2 on its six-game road trip.
Final Score: Cleveland 109, Phoenix 91
PHOENIX - LeBron James poured in 29 points and Mo Williams added 24 as Cleveland stopped the NBA's longest home winning streak with a convincing 109-91 win over the Phoenix Suns. The Suns had won 19 consecutive home games dating back to 2008-09 -- last losing at US Airways Center back on March 12, 2009 to these same Cavaliers. Anderson Varejao chipped in 13 points and Delonte West checked in with 12 points and six assists as the Cavs responded from a 102-95 defeat by Dallas Sunday for their sixth win in seven games. The game also featured the return of Shaquille O'Neal to the desert for the first time since Phoenix dealt him to Cleveland last summer. He hardly figured into the win, though, with more turnovers (four) than points in just under 20 minutes of floor time. Steve Nash scored a team-high 18 points and dished 10 assists for the Suns, who had won nine of the last 10 at home against the Cavs. Amare Stoudemire posted 14 points and 12 rebounds as the Suns fell to 10-1 at home this season.
