Elsewhere in the Association:

  • Al Harrington led Golden State to a 111-98 win over Minnesota. Harrington scored 25 points as the Warriors overcame a halftime deficit to improve their record to 15-11.
  • Six players scored in double-figures for Orlando, as the Magic beat the Rockets 97-92. Dwight Howard led Orlando with 21 points and Yao Ming had 19 for Houston in the matchup of two of the game's best centers.
