Charlotte snaps 13-game losing streak

Ex-Laker Jumaine Jones scored a career-high 31 points to help the Charlotte Bobcats snap their franchise record 13-game losing streak on Friday night with a 112-102 shocker over the Los Angeles Lakers in Charlotte, N.C.

Although Kobe Bryant finished with 35 points, he didn’t make a basket in the fourth quarter. He went 0 for 3 with the game on the line, scoring just four points in the quarter on free throws. Bryant also had seven turnovers in the game.

Jazz 89, Kings 79: At Salt Lake City, Sacramento did not make a field goal in the fourth quarter, allowing Utah to rally for a victory.

Andrei Kirilenko scored 14 of his 24 points in the period, when the Kings went 0 for 20 from the field and were outscored 34-12.

Pistons 87, 76ers 80: At Philadelphia, Richard Hamilton scored 30 points and Rasheed Wallace added 20 to lead Detroit to victory.

The 76ers played without Allen Iverson, who missed his fourth straight game with injured ankles. Iverson was going to travel and try to play tonight at Cleveland, Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks said.

Trail Blazers 89, Timberwolves 85: At Portland, Zach Randolph had 19 points and 13 rebounds as the Trail Blazers won for the seventh time in their past 11 games.

Randolph has 18 double-doubles this season for Portland. Kevin Garnett had 27 points and 15 rebounds for Minnesota, which has lost three of five.

Raptors 104, Knicks 90: At Toronto, Chris Bosh scored 29 points as the Raptors sent New York to its fourth loss in a row and 10th in 11 games.

Hawks 96, Magic 94: At Atlanta, Joe Johnson sank a jumper with less than a second left to lift the Hawks to their third straight win, beating Orlando.

Johnson had 23 points and 11 assists as Atlanta won three in a row for the first time since 2004.

Clippers 98, Celtics 81: At Boston, Elton Brand and Sam Cassell keyed a late run that broke open a close game, leading Los Angeles to a win.

Brand had six of his 30 points and Cassell had three 3-pointers in a 19-3 run in the fourth quarter that carried the Clippers to their seventh win in eight games. The Celtics lost their fourth consecutive game.

Raptors send Rose to Knicks

The Raptors finally traded Jalen Rose, sending him to the Knicks for forward Antonio Davis.

The Knicks also received a first-round draft pick and an undisclosed amount of cash from Toronto.

Rose’s name has been mentioned in trade rumors all season, but he had been difficult to deal because he is making $15.7 million this season and he has an option at $16.9 million next season.

Davis’ contract expires after this season, and the Raptors get some needed salary-cap relief by parting ways with Rose.
