MIAMI -- With Dwyane Wade out for a third straight game with a sprained right ankle, LeBron James and Chris Bosh combined for 58 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists as the Miami Heat routed the Philadelphia 76ers, 113-92, in a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference first-round series.

Bosh had 30 points to go with seven boards and five assists. James provided 28 points, nine rebounds and five assists for the Heat, who moved to 6-0 this season without Wade, a seven-time All-Star. Lou Williams netted 22 points for the 76ers, who have lost two of three.


DALLAS 83, NEW ORLEANS 81

Delonte West scored 16 points, and the Dallas Mavericks overcame the absence of Dirk Nowitzki to beat New Orleans, 83-81, on Saturday.

Lamar Odom also scored 16 for the Mavericks, who survived a last-second putback miss by Jarrett Jack off an intentionally missed free throw.


CHICAGO 95, CHARLOTTE 89

Carlos Boozer finished with 23 points and nine rebounds, Luol Deng added 22 points and eight boards, and the Bulls held on for a 95-89 victory against the Bobcats.

ATLANTA 121,  CLEVELAND 94

Joe Johnson finished with 25 points and the hot-shooting Atlanta Hawks routed the Cleveland Cavaliers, 121-94, on Saturday.

Jeff Teague and Jannero Pargo both scored 14 points for the Hawks, who dropped a 90-76 decision in Philadelphia on Friday, but returned home to shoot 55.4 percent.


OKLAHOMA 84, NEW JERSEY 74

Russell Westbrook totaled 21 points and six assists as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the New Jersey Nets, 84-74.

Kevin Durant posted 20 points and 15 rebounds while James Harden added 16 points and nine boards for the Thunder, who bounced back from a loss at Washington on Wednesday to win for the eighth time in the past nine games.


DETROIT 94, PORTLAND 91

Rodney Stuckey finished with 28 points and the Detroit Pistons held on for a 94-91 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Tayshaun Prince added 17 points for the Pistons, who ended a four- game slide. They have won only twice in their last 12 games, but did so Saturday after putting together a key run late in the fourth quarter, then hitting critical free throws in the final minute.


DENVER 119, NEW YORK 114 (2 OTs)

Danilo Gallinari scored nine of his 37 points in the second overtime against his former team, as the Denver Nuggets pulled out a 119-114 double-overtime win against the New York Knicks.

Gallinari, who made all seven of his free throw attempts in the second extra session, went 18-of-20 at the charity stripe for the game. He also had 11 rebounds.


HOUSTON 105, SAN ANTONIO 102

Kevin Martin scored a team-high 25 points as the Houston Rockets held off a late surge by the San Antonio Spurs to take a 105-102 victory.

MEMPHIS 128, SACRAMENTO 95

Gay had 23 points with four assists and four steals, Mike Conley netted a season-high 22 points, O.J. Mayo nailed six three-pointers en route to a 22- point night and Marc Gasol added 20 points and 11 rebounds for Memphis, which moved to 8-3 since All-Star forward Zach Randolph went down on January 1 with a torn MCL.


UTAH 108, MINNESOTA 98

Paul Millsap poured in 12 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and pulled down nine rebounds as the Utah Jazz outlasted the Minnesota Timberwolves, 108-98, for their fourth win in five games.
