Cavaliers 97, Spurs 95: CLEVELAND -- Mo Williams made two free throws with 9 seconds left and Delonte West made the kind of plays down the stretch reserved for LeBron James and Cleveland won without its superstar, beating San Antonio.
Williams finished with 17 points for the Cavs, playing their second straight game without the injured James. The NBA's reigning MVP is nursing a tender right ankle and the Cavs are being extra cautious. West had 16 points and made a key steal in the final minute as Cleveland became the first team to reach 50 wins this season.
Manu Ginobili scored a season-high 38 points to lead the Spurs, playing their first game without guard Tony Parker. He's out six weeks with a broken hand.

Knicks 99, Hawks 98: NEW YORK -- New York beat Atlanta for the third time this season when video replay showed Al Horford's basket came after the buzzer.
Wilson Chandler stopped Josh Smith's drive to the basket with seconds to play and the ball bounced out to Horford in the lane. Referees originally ruled his short jumper good, but replay clearly showed the light was on above the backboard with the ball still in his hands.

Hornets 135, Warriors 131: NEW ORLEANS -- Darren Collison had 16 points and a career-high 20 assists, and New Orleans snapped a four-game losing streak.
Collison's assists total tied Phoenix's Steve Nash for the most in an NBA game this season.
Marcus Thornton and David West each scored 28 points for the Hornets, who shot 59 percent (54 of 92).

Grizzlies 107, Nets 101: MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Mike Conley and Rudy Gay had 21 points each, and Marc Gasol added 19 points and 13 rebounds and Memphis withstood a second-half rally to defeat New Jersey.
