Anderson, Raptors handle Knicks

NBA

Reserve Alan Anderson scored 26 points in one of the few good offensive performances for either team, and the Toronto Raptors beat the New York Knicks 92-88 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight victory.

DeMar DeRozan added 20 points for the Raptors, who overcame a 4-for-21 performance from Rudy Gay because Knicks star Carmelo Anthony was just as bad. Anthony finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds but shot 5 of 24 for the Knicks, who dropped their final two games leading into the All-Star break.

J.R. Smith led the Knicks with 26 points. Raymond Felton had 16 but shot 3 of 9, while Amare Stoudemire was 4 of 13 and had one particularly ghastly miss from right at the basket on his way to 10 points.

Gay finished with 11 points one night after hitting the go-ahead basket with 4.9 seconds left in a victory over Denver. That was his second such basket in three games since his trade from Memphis.

Celtics 71, Bulls 69: Kevin Garnett scored eight of his 12 points in the fourth quarter and added 11 rebounds as Boston overcame poor shooting to beat Chicago.

Hawks 108, Magic 76: Josh Smith had 30 points and 10 rebounds and Al Horford added 26 points and 12 rebounds as Atlanta blew past Orlando.

Hornets 99, Trail Blazers 63: Anthony Davis had 21 points and 11 rebounds, and New Orleans handed Portland its fifth straight loss.

Jazz 97, Timberwolves 93: Al Jefferson had 20 points and 11 rebounds and Paul Millsap scored 21 points to power Utah.

Nets 119, Nuggets 108: Joe Johnson scored 26 points, including five 3-pointers, C.J Watson added 25 points and five 3s, and Brooklyn avoided another second-half meltdown with a victory over Denver.

Pacers 101, Bobcats 77: Paul George posted his second triple-double of the season with 23 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high 12 assists as Indiana routed Charlotte.

Spurs 96, Cleveland 95: Kawhi Leonard's 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds remaining gave San Antonio the win.

Pistons 96, Wizards 85: Will Bynum scored six of his 20 points in a late run and Detroit went on to beat Washington .

Mavericks 123, Kings 100: Vince Carter scored 26 points to pass Larry Bird on the NBA's career scoring list, and Dallas headed into the All-Star break with a victory over Sacramento .

Turkoglu suspended: Hedo Turkoglu of the Orlando Magic has been suspended by the NBA for 20 games after he tested positive for steroids.

The NBA announced the penalty Wednesday. Turkoglu tested positive for methenolone, an anabolic steroid.
