The Magic played for the fourth time this season without Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis and also added Ryan Anderson to its injured list. Oklahoma City raced out of halftime to score the first eight points and then added a 9-0 spurt to push its lead to 72-49 on Nick Collison's basket in the lane midway through the third period. Dwight Howard had 20 points for the Magic.

• PHOENIX 102, WASHINGTON 90: Jason Richardson scored 22 points, Steve Nash had 17 assists, and the visiting Suns maintained their dominance of the Wizards, dating to Dec. 22, 2006. The Suns never trailed in the second half as they beat the Wizards for the sixth time in a row. Phoenix improved to 6-1, matching the best seven-game start in franchise history.

• DETROIT 88, PHILADELPHIA 81: Ben Gordon scored 23 points and Ben Wallace added 16 rebounds for the Pistons, who held visiting Philadelphia without a field goal the final six minutes.
